papers overjoyed with flood based puns

in a stark contrast to the actual misery of thousands of Britons the nation's papers have literally been "wetting themselves" with excitement.

the outbreak of flooding and political naivety from Tory leader Mr Cameron has resulted in a range of excruciatingly balls aching pun headlines from the papers

"Cameron is a damp squib" - Times
"it never rains, it pours - Cameron faces more attacks" - telegraph
"its raining then?"- the sun (on Mr Cameron's ignorance of situation at home when in Rwanda)
"water set to rise to biblical proportions, as in a allegory of Sartre's existential angst"-guardian
"Whitney gets wet n wild" - star (incidentally this was a story about Whitney Houston)

the headline to top them all goes to the NME, with the analysis that Britain is now officially Amy Winehouse - "Rough up north, bumpy in the middle and really wet down south".
