Ah yes, because claiming that moving to another country is difficult is 'over dramatising' in the same way that the British public do about the weather, of course

You're a pro at starting silly arguments.

Just so people know, the "hurraycane in 1987" was NOT a HURRICANE.

It's impossible to get hurricanes in the UK.

And the wind that's going to hit us on Monday is not much different that we've had plenty of times this year already.

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Probably not, but I like shouting things that cause distress..

I'm off for a curry. I'm expecting some serious wind come Monday morning.

I must say I'm mildly irritated by people saying that we are getting a hurricane. It's not even close.

Up here it's forecast to be close enough, 61mph forecast and 72mph+ is hurricane-strength wind.

LOAM · 11 Sep 2011 at 20:50

Hope it dies out to nothing. Hate strong winds.

Love strong winds with my window open, helps me go to sleep

Does your nighty give you the thrills when the wind blows it?

Super windy in Dorset. Not sure it's meant to hit this way at all though. Hopefully not, flying from Gatwick on Tuesday

NinetyOne · 11 Sep 2011 at 22:31

Better get my umbrella

That's not a hurricane though.

Creelers · 11 Sep 2011 at 22:39

I actually do hope the rain is heavy for a bit. I love rain when it's heavy.

Kristoph · 11 Sep 2011 at 23:07

Well cycling to work tomorrow will be fun! Heading straight into the wind.

But not a Hurricane, as we don't have the correct climate to generate one.
