I was thinking the same thing this morning as i left for work

.

I was hoping it would be a nice day tomorrow so i could go for a pleasant day out in Ambleside. Looks like rain again tomorrow too.

My wheelie bins blew over.

Our neighbours trampoline took a trip to the electricity sub-station behind the garages, Western Power Distribution had to go in and retrieve it. It didn't affect the power fortunately.

Doris blew over at 25mph max. A big letdown! Thank for the chill, ya hag!

Heard someone got killed and the elements got out of hand in Scotland, though.

It finally took out my neighbors fence that has been begging to fall over for years. Quite enjoying the extra light its letting in

Was getting the Virgin cable put through the other day. Clip to the fence? No sir!

You mean no lol just the datajack.

I did for a moment wonder what would be the risk of strangulation by such a cable in a serious storm. I chose not to test my hypothesis!

I hope your neighbours aren't American.

I got a free door stuck in the side of my house, the kitchen now leaks so insurance claim pending.

Aluminium and very thick glass, it did well!

datalol-jack · 25 Feb 2017 at 21:32

One free door or a failed break in? You decide!

Has the storm disrupted royal mail deliveries for anyone else? I was expecting something on friday that was sent first class and it didn't turn up.

Nope. Moreover, we had a few hardy Rainforest Logistics blokes braving the elements to deliver way ahead of schedule.

Could be completely unrelated but I get a subscription service delivered on a Friday as regular as clockwork and it's not turned up yet.

Anyway storm Ewan is on its way, woot!

Actually, I'm trying to work out what car that is?

Am I going mental here, I can't see a Stag in any image in this thread?

I think he means the car, almost always refered to as a "Stag" in Jap car circles, usually pronounces "Sta-jjjjj"
