Storm Agnes

[Kippax77]

You know Greece bud, a flash storm, then cracking the flags, red hot today, had to have a cool dip and a cold Mythos, well not really, it was a Heineken. Anyway, back to the bat cave.

Haha.
Yeah I must admit the worst electrical storm I've encountered when flying was landing at Corfu one year.
Absolutely terrifying.
Anyway have a good one

Did it stop you having a normal day yesterday? How did it keep you in your place?

My daughters football practice was cancelled ‘just in case’.
Fuckin ridiculous. Some good old scare mongering always keeps us on our toes

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I seem more of a gust off a wet fart to be honest. Just had a new shed delived and I unloaded and tied up all the panels, doors, roof etc etc....all for what ??
The days of social fucking media and wet fannies in society, get a grip. Storm Agnes, I'd like to meet her one day and give her a piece of my mind and then shake my fist angrily in her general direction whilst making Grrrrr type noises..

My eldest daughter and her friends came back last night from a short break in Lanzarote, landing at around 7:50pm.
She described the last 20 minutes (descent/landing) as "terrible and bumpy" - but they got down safely.

It makes them aware that the weather might be a bit shitter than normal. It may not have been a storm by the time it hit England, but any weather event with gusts over a certain level possible is marked as a storm.

I don’t see it being much of a deal.

Turning people into snowflakes for fucks sake, a bit of wind and rain and all hell is about to be unleashed. Thick pea soupers in the 60,s when you couldn’t see your own hands folk just got on with it.

Just over dramatises something.
Heard on the radio “agnes the first storm of the season” … fuck me
