Hot 'n' wet

It's chucking it down with rain here at the moment, but the heat hasn't really abated so it is still rather humid. The woods tonight were a little like a tropical rainforest with rain pattering through the foliage, but unfortunately the local gang of neds had chosen tonight to stand in the downpour shouting at each other again. Why do they do this? Are their lives so devoid of excitement that getting wet and making grunting noises is a preferable alternative?

Alicia update : We were looking at my phone this morning and wondering why herself hadn't rung when spookily she did. A rather brusque conversation with the upshot being that Alicia is now here all week until next Monday. Strange.
