Epic!

I'm going to phone my mum to make sure she's not been blown away

Anyone up that way, what's it like about Alloa, and how's the Forth looking?

wet and gusty here in Falkirk. Probably much the same in Alloa. The forth is looking a bit wild but nothing too bad

It's been broken already today apparently. 149mph?

Not quite, summits don't count apparently.

I'd rather you just kept your insults to yourself, it was unwarranted and uncalled for. Regardless how much you want portray it as a joke or my apparently being dramatic for pulling you up on your repetative dislike for Scotland.

HMG also "overreacted" today and sent all except the utmost critical staff home.

I'd rather you stopped trying to turn everything into a racist argument. Such a chip

Would you 2 pack it in. FFS. No one else cares!

I never mentioned "racist".

Again, if you could get over your negative obsession with Scottish people and Scotland you might not encounter this problem?

I laughed at the flying scotsman joke, although drawing large willies on things is likely to offend if you intend it or not.

It can't be a racist argument...

Hope this wind buggers off soon. Really hope the power doesn't go down!
