[Spikey M]

Also, you'd need more than one Storm Tyrone for it to be a gang rape.

[niko_cee]

5 storms from Storm Nick.

:cool:

Once in a lifetime stuff.

[Spikey M]

Can these named cunts just fuck off now?

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's very boring having OMG STORM GERALD every time it gets a bit windy.

[Boydy]

The wind sounds pretty mental around here now.

BBC News - Northern Ireland facing travel disruption as Storm Isha lands
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-68041593

I walked past that scaffolding that collpased about an hour before it did so. I didn't like the look of it then.

[Dquincy]

Very windy here. Storm Leroy is gang raping the south east like a deviant.

[Giggles]

We're down power now. There's that many out now that I'd be surprised if we even have it back tomorrow.

[Spikey M]

Leave my fences alone, Leroy.

[Spikey M]

Just joined the power cut crew :moop:

[Dark Soldier]

The mop bucket outside moved a couple of feet so I brought it in just to be safe.

[Giggles]

No power is a real pain in the hole when it cuts your water too.

[Shindig]

I had no chance sleeping through any of that. :moop:

[Spikey M]

Yeah, that one deserved a name.

[Giggles]

It had a name didn't it? A weird one beginning with I, cane remember what.

[Giggles]

Isha.

1749339336175174052

[Spikey M]

It had a name didn't it? A weird one beginning with I, cane remember what.

Yeah, I just mean that it actually warranted one, where as most of them are just farts in a jam jar that would have passed without mention if it wasn't STORM BARRY.

[Ben]

Storm Ronnie Pickering that one. I look after a few sites at work and one of them is up past Fort William. Luckily nobody died last night but the site did.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Didn't even manage to blow down the fence panel that is barely hanging on round mine.

Shit storm.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Seems to have been worse out east than it was here, though we had some fun gusts as well. My boss in Kent called in with no power this morning.

[Spikey M]

:D

[Manc]

Storm Jocelyn coming up the rear.

[Baz]

Just walked the shop. Jeez. REMAIN INDOORS

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think I have trenchfoot.

I decided to go for a walk and promptly it started absolutely pissing it down. Was a really cold rain and my shoes are absolutely not waterproof.

[niko_cee]

Is it just me or is it ridiculously windy today, seemingly without warning?

[Yevrah]

Yeah, it's been like that wherever I've been for about a week now though mind.

[John Arne]

37 degrees today, and whilst I like warm weather, it's getting a tad silly.

https://gyazo.com/5339e9bece20afdcf485e6c259296fce.jpeg

[Spikey M]

My heart weeps for you :moop:

[Ben]

I echo Spikey’s sentiment. I’m currently on top of an exposed hill doing a site acceptance test and it’s absolutely fucking baltic. My knackers are nowhere to be seen.

[Shindig]

I'm in DC next week and four days are above 20 degrees.

[Spikey M]

20c or 20f?

Oh. And why? Isn't Washington DC a complete dump?

[niko_cee]

Good museums and insurrection opportunities.

[Shindig]

Yeah, I'm in it for the former.

[niko_cee]

Good thinking, got to keep the latter on the QT lest your ESTA is revoked.

[Shindig]

I've seen enough of the US to know I wouldn't want to live there.

[Pepe]

Isn't Washington DC a complete dump?

One of the best cities to visit in the US, imo.

[Spikey M]

One of the best cities to visit in the US, imo.

Really? I stand corrected. I'm sure I heard somewhere that it's basically the same as Baltimore.

[Pepe]

Might suck to live there, I do not know. The nice thing with visiting is that they have a lot of museums (Air and Space Museum :drool:) and they are all free. You also have white house, capitol, etc. Georgetown right next door is nice and food is good.
.

[Ben]

My family are about an hour outside DC and I've always enjoyed it. Indeed the Air and Space Museum is awesome.

[Shindig]

Aye, I'm seeing that on Wednesday. I want to check out the Udvar-Hazy Centre as well so I can gawp at Enola Gay and an SR-71 Blackbird. :drool:

[Spikey M]

Yeah, OK, that does sound incredibly cool. Either they were talking about a different city and I've misremembered, or it's just like London with cool shit interspersed with poverty and crime.

[niko_cee]

DC is rough as fuck quite quickly when you stray from the big lawn thing with all the stuff in or around it.

But that's probably true of most cities.

[Shindig]

Especially cities the size of London, New York, San Francisco, etc.

[Giggles]

All cities are rough as fuck. Most towns are rough as fuck.

[niko_cee]

Right, what is fucking going on here? Week after week we had fucking named storms coming out of our ears and then nothing for ages as it approaches the rarely seen Storm N. Storm Nick, as was prophesied in the stupid chart of names to be used this year. So now what do I see? Storm fucking Nelson? Who named that? The Spanish? Nelson? Are they taking the fucking piss? Absolutely seething. Bomb Cadiz.

It looks like it probably was Spain (https://metro.co.uk/2024/03/28/british-tourist-dies-spain-storm-nelson-batters-parts-country-20550412/), yes.

Atleast you haven't been involved in friendly fire this way.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just saw someone's clothes horse get taken by the wind from a high balcony and land in someone's garden on the ground floor.

[Pepe]

Damn. Are you ok?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm a bit shell shocked, mate.

Thanks for asking.

[Spikey M]

20c today apparently. :drool:

Shame it's being accompanied by Storm Katie McKateface or whatever this one is.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Whenever the Irish name storms they should always use one of their silly names to troll the British. Storm Keoghluin which is somehow pronounced 'Brian'.

[Ben]

It’s pretty warm already. Fucking windy though.

[Baz]

Get the washing pegged out :drool:

[Manc]

Along with your anus. :drool:

[John Arne]

Last few weeks have been pretty brutal here. Normally 33 everyday, but last few weeks have seen 35-36 every day. Plus, we have the bonus of the monsoon season starting in a few weeks.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The one time I went to that part of the world (Hong Kong and Thailand about 20 years ago) I found it almost impossible to operate, the humidity hits you like a wall of steaming hot water. Far worse being in 30 there than in 40+ in Europe.

[Spikey M]

I don't recall what any weather other than windy feels like. It's been different shades of this shit for about 8 months now.

[Yevrah]

Indeed, I’d take the horrors Jim describes over the shit we’ve had to put up with any day of the week.

[Pepe]

Hot + humid > Cold + windy

[Giggles]

Anything is better than windy.

[Don]

What a fucking shithole this country is. Get me that AI revolution so I can take up a farm job somewhere closer to the equator.

[Baz]

If it could just stop raining for a few days please

[Spikey M]

Even by this country's standards the last year or so has been pathetic.

[Waffdon]

Mega summer inbound

[Jimmy Floyd]

There hasn't been a properly decent spell of weather since last June. It's weak and immoral.

[Waffdon]

Yeah, that sounds about right. Last 2/3 weeks were exceptional leading into 14 days of 35c+ in Malta and me looking forward to the breeze when coming home. The breeze hasn’t stopped since

[Pepe]

Twenty degrees over here. :drool:

[phonics]

Government weather control in action. #RealiseRealEyesSeeRealLies

[Waffdon]

Good old Le Tiss had a great tweet about that the other day

[John Arne]

Struggling to operate now. Tired. Need a swim. 38 with a feels like of 42.

Makes sense really, the Government wants to us to do what they say, so they make it hot outside #LeTiss

[Spikey M]

This is taking the fucking piss now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm delighted tbh, there was some bird shit that really needed washing off my bonnet.

[Luke Emia]

#LeTisswasright

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's brightened up a bit after absolutely lashing it down for a while.

I imagine it will be back to biblical rain very soon though.

It's a real kick in the teeth after a pleasant couple of days.

[Manc]

Sneezing like a maniac today. Spring has well and truly sprung. Shame about the grey skies.

[Giggles]

No rain or wind :drool:

I can't remember the last time we had neither.

[Mike]

Sat out in the garden in a T-shirt enjoying the first sun of the year. Bring on summer!

[Don]

What temperature are you fucking gammons fapping over? There's hints of blue and sun showing itself like some tease but we're still grey and 10-13 degrees here throughout the coming week.

[Shindig]

Aye, it's been chilly up here.

[Spikey M]

9c here. :moop:

[Mike]

A huge 13c. Was more the sun was out with no wind.

[Lewis]

We got the next decade of good Spring weather to get us through the dogshit in 2020.

[Don]

That really was the peak of Great Britain, I'm a year away from going full Le Tiss if we don't see the likes of it again.

[Spikey M]

The year before last was glorious too. Field fires not withstanding.

If we have another summer like last year I'll be riding Le Tiss into Exeter to firebomb the Met Office. Absolutely seething at this shit.

I'm not asking for much. 23c, sun and no wind will do me.

[Adramelch]

You would think that's some kind of filter, but alas that's an actual photo from my balcony:

https://i.gyazo.com/ef5611b0314015dc4f41157a836afcf7.png

Anyone fancy some Saharan dust?

[Manc]

That would make for a great album cover.

[niko_cee]

It really is unacceptably cold at the moment.

[Spikey M]

Matt Le Tissier for PM.

[Yevrah]

I have the heat back on. In basically May. It's fucking madness.

[Spikey M]

Above average temperatures next week \./

Also above average rain /.\

[Don]

A rare sighting of a 19 currently on the distant horizon of the Met's 2 week forecast but if it's accompanied by the clouds as it currently is, that's not going to make up for this fucking cesspit.

[John Arne]

Sweet fucking jesus. It's almost 9pm and I just walked outside to be greeted with hot air. Feels like 41... 9-fucking pm.

Thank fuck for AC.

[Spikey M]

Yeah yeah. Suck your nan.

[John Arne]

:D

[Pepe]

Chilly 13 deg C over here.

25 on Sunday :cool:

[Spikey M]

https://i.ibb.co/WPHVhgz/Screenshot-20240425-154335-Weather.jpg

It feels like this has been our permanent weather forecast for about 10 months now. I need someone to hold accountable.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a lie.

We get one semi-decent day thrown in to give us hope before we're crushed again by the latest storm.

[Spikey M]

That's a lie.

We get one semi-decent day thrown in to give us hope before we're crushed again by the latest storm.

The catfish day is Monday.

[Ben]

I heard if nobody votes Tory at the next election so they don't even make Opposition, it's all sunlit uplands from there on baby.

[Pepe]

Fucking AC isn't working.

[Mike]

Freezing today! Big coat back out tomorrow.

[Spikey M]

It's been the best day for ages here. We're only talking 15c, but the sun is out and there isn't gale force wind, so I'll take it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah it was quite nice here.

Rest of the week is meant to be decent too, although I imagine that's false hope and it will be raining like a mother fucker come Wednesday.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The Met Office have it 18 all week, yes the sun goes in tomorrow but only the odd spot of rain here and there. Feels like the result of the Good Friday Agreement.

[Yevrah]

Today is lovely so far. I'm confused.

[Don]

We did it. Fuck Le Tiss.

[thommo]

Fucking hell are you all kidding? We're in the middle of a 2nd day of non-stop rain.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Meant to hit 18 later today.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't get Le Tiss's take on this. If the government were able to control the weather, surely they'd make it nice so that everyone was happy and voted them back in.

[Spikey M]

Everything else they're doing appears to point to them wanting an unhappy population tbf.

[Ben]

Fucking hell are you all kidding? We're in the middle of a 2nd day of non-stop rain.

There must be a great east-west divide because I'm basking in 17C sunshine already.

[thommo]

There must be a great east-west divide because I'm basking in 17C sunshine already.

I just had a look at the weather radar - a huge blotch of rain just sitting over Wales, swooping northwards towards the Irish Sea. :moop:

We did get a day of sun on Sunday at least.
