The Weather Thread (Sponsored by the Autumn Equinox 2015)

[mugbull]

Yeah but the humidity cancels all of that out

[bruhnaldo]

Only 60% humidity today my boy :drool:

[mugbull]

Closing date for Squaw Valley got pushed back to 7/7. 2nd time in 3 years that skiing will be open on July 4th. Sadly I won't be here anymore then, but it really is the best time of year to fuck around in a swimsuit.

[Spikey M]

Don't kill yourself lad.

[mugbull]

I’ve got terminal constipation, it’ll get me first

[Giggles]

We've an orange weather warning. For 1mm of rainfall :cab:

(That's 0.0394 inches @mokbull).

[Raoul Duke]

Looking pretty fucking mega for the weekend :cool:

[mugbull]

Thanks for the conversion, I'll make sure to help you out next time I talk about kilometers and miles

[Giggles]

I have no use for miles.

[mugbull]

Knowledge is power

[Mike]

Hoping the sun breaks early and is out Thursday, I’m off on a bike ride.

[Pepe]

That' a long ride.

[Magic]

Lol brutal weather in Murcia until Monday but a glorious weekend in UK. :mad:

[Spikey M]

Just been down Old Leigh. Pot of prawns. Pint of Scrumpy. Perfect temperature. Even the dickhead TOWIE mob with undersized dogs in oversized handbags couldn't ruin it.

Off to get some charcoal and meat for the barbecue tomorrow now. :drool:

[Giggles]

Is scrumpy a generic word for cider in England or do you mean Scrumpy Jack?

[Spikey M]

Flat Cider basically. Usually stronger too.

[Giggles]

Ah, I never knew what the term was. That sounds like the class one I had when I was in Wales last year.

[Kikó]

I visited the beach in Scotland today. Banging

[Magic]

Lol it has been torrential rain here since Friday. Amazing to see heatwaves in the UK whilst it's barely 12C in the south of Spain.

[Waffdon]

Huge fan of the weather. Mon the Griezmann tan.

https://i.imgur.com/QoNe2Fu.jpg

[Mellberg]

Nice arse your mom's got there mate.

[Waffdon]

Touché.

She is a milf though. Offft.

"The highest recorded were 76mph (122km/h) at Mace Head in Galway and 74mph (119km/h) at Shannon Airport."

'The Beeb' going above and beyond to squash the Beef between Giggles and Mokkerz. :cool:

Mockers will want it in knots and inches per second.

[Giggles]

Their headline doesn't compute though, but you get used to it.

[mugbull]

Wind’s been pretty lowkey here recently. Close to 0mph (which is equivalent to 0kph btw Giggles)

[Spikey M]

Actually, close to 0mph is slightly closer than close to 0kph is.

Edit: or is it? Fuck off Mokkers. Where's Ital when you need him?

[Giggles]

:cool:

[Spikey M]

If I'm travelling at close to 0mph I get somewhere quicker than if I'm travelling at close to 0kpm? Right? I mean, 1kpm actually is CLOSE TO 0MPH. What a fucking pussyhole measurement.

[Disco]

Depends, if you're measuring it in kph then you're going a bit slower.

[Spikey M]

If you're measuring in KPH you are a bit slower.

[Giggles]

km/h.

[Disco]

kmh is different again.

[Spikey M]

Kmt

[Disco]

Klf

[Spikey M]

Kys.

Brb afk.

[Bernanke]

So Thursday looks fun across UK, Benelux, northern France.

[Baz]

Tomorrow is meant to be hotter than Thursday here (up North).

[Raoul Duke]

So Thursday looks fun across UK, Benelux, northern France.


Tomorrow is meant to be hotter than Thursday here (up North).

Getting up to 36 in London :| Got our work summer party in what looks like a giant glass bowl too...

[Spikey M]

Thursday looks utterly disgusting.

[Giggles]

I'm in Galway Thursday so I'll have rain no matter what.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Car was saying 40c earlier today.

[mugbull]

Cars say that when you leave em in the sun

[Giggles]

Cars say that when you leave em in the sun

I'd more expected you to rock up and tell everyone they were actually cold today.

[mugbull]

I expected precisely that response

[Spikey M]

This is some fucking bullshit

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm not looking forward to Thursday.

[Boydy]

This heat is disgusting and I'm only in Belfast. I don't know how some of you are coping in the south of England. Thank fuck my new work has an air-conditioned office. The old one didn't and it was horrible last summer.

[Shindig]

We're due some thunder that should freshen this up.

[Giggles]

I can't wait for some thunder. There was meant to be a go of it that never arrived last weekend.

[Spikey M]

It's going to miss us. Unbearable until Friday here. :moop:

[Offshore Toon]

I'm just gonna sleep in the garden. It's ridiculous.

[Spikey M]

Sleep? Not happening. Fuck this shit. I'm getting aircon before next summer. I can't be doing this every year.

[Jimmy Floyd]

39 on Thursday here, that should liven things up a bit.

[Lewis]

There seems to be some sort of massive storm in the Channel. The lightning is flashing here but we haven't got any rain. Looks pretty good.

[mugbull]

Going to France on Thursday, which is when Paris is supposed to have its 42 degree day...lol good stuff

[Offshore Toon]

I've set up my fresh and black tent (best purchase ever) on the patio to avoid wanker insects, with a spare mattress inside and I've also brought the extension lead outside so I have a fan on me. I could defo do this every year. I feel like Bear Grylls but in an episode of Changing Rooms.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm sure I just saw a flash of lightning but no sound of thunder.

Just rain and give some relief from this heat.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Finally started but it's still boiling.

My room is so much hotter than the rest of the house for some reason.

[Pepe]

Top floor?

[SincereTheRebel]

The thunder and lighting we had in Wolves the psst few hours was vicious. Woke me up startled.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Top floor?

Of a two-storey house.

The bathroom is the only other room that gets slightly hotter than the others but mine is always a good 5-10c hotter.

The insulation must be fucked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

One of the worst nights I've had.

Would have gone and slept on the sofa downstairs but we had a mover coming this morning to look around for an estimate.

[Bernanke]

Checked into a local hotel with AC for two nights, fuck dealing with this shit.

[Spikey M]

Last night was hideous. We didn't even get the rain to help ease it. Tonight will be worse and tomorrow night has the potential to be 'the hottest night time ever recorded in the UK' according to the Weather this morning. Fuck sake.

This shit is only good with a swimming pool, all Inclusive bar and an air-conditioned room.

[Baz]

I can’t believe how much everyone’s moaning. :cab:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I can’t believe how much everyone’s moaning. :cab:

Because as Spikey said this weather is shit with no pool, ac and unlimited cold drinks.

[Disco]

It's been warm for two days, get a grip you mongs.

[Spikey M]

I can’t believe how much everyone’s moaning. :cab:

It's only about 26 there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's been warm for two days, get a grip you mongs.
Warm? It was unbearable last night.

[Magic]

Checked into a local hotel with AC for two nights, fuck dealing with this shit.

If that's true I'll take the three points.

[Disco]

No it wasn't.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No it wasn't.
Well in my shittly insulated room it was.

[Spikey M]

It's 25c in Exeter today. It was 33c here. Wind it in lad.

[Disco]

Much warmer in fahrenheit though.

[Giggles]

295 kelvins here today and I was wearing a jeans.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just the one? Boom would be disappointed.

[Disco]

It's 25c in Exeter today. It was 33c here. Wind it in lad.

If only there were other days when it might have been warm before.

[Spikey M]

Kelvin is a great measurement. We should rebrand Celcius as Keith and Fahrenheit as Mugbull.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's 25c in Exeter today. It was 33c here. Wind it in lad.

It was about 25c here throughout the night.

[Giggles]

I only experienced 100 mugbulls once in my life and it still felt better than a dull 25°C day here.

[mugbull]

If you’re bringing me into this, I feel like I have the duty to inform you that you’re all enormous vaginas.

[Shindig]

Tomorrow now has weather warnings for thunderstorms. Lovely. :moop:

[Yevrah]

It's hot. Fucking hot.

Which combined with my absolute hatred/fear of moths is not cool.

[Lewis]

Plus one for Team Get a Grip.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I once sat for ten minutes in a parked car in Death Valley next to a giant thermometer that said 112, and when I started thinking 'hmm, it's a bit hot in here, might get out of the car' and stepped out, that 112 felt like a beautifully refreshing cool breeze. Must have been about 140 inside the car.

[Kikó]

I've got a charity day outside tomorrow with my team where we sort out some primary school. It's going to absolutely murder us all.

[Foe]

You guys must be struggling. I'm in the highlands and my room is outrageously hot. I'm sweating lying on top of my duvet.

Zero sleep ahead.

[Lewis]

I've got a charity day outside tomorrow with my team where we sort out some primary school. It's going to absolutely murder us all.

Yeah, true. Bit hot to be repossessing furniture.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The perils of working for a murderous corporation. My mate at *insert murderous corporation here* seems to spend more time building patios than he does enacting rapacious global capitalism.

[Kikó]

Somethings got to replenish our souls before the burning inferno of hell.

[Shindig]

Global warming brings hell to us.

[Yevrah]

I'm at a meeting all day in what should be a very nice setting, except for the fact there's no air con. My trousers are going to be delightful.

[Kikó]

My leg sweat situation is outrageous even in cold months.

[Bam]

Last night was hideous. We didn't even get the rain to help ease it.

Yes we did. Thunder, lightning and torrential rain at about 4am, the cunt woke me up.

[Kikó]

Nice to see Bam and Spikey's relationship finally REVEALED.

[Baz]

Yes we did. Thunder, lightning and torrential rain at about 4am, the cunt woke me up.Your wife woke you up to tell you it’s raining? :eyemouth:

[Spikey M]

Yes we did. Thunder, lightning and torrential rain at about 4am, the cunt woke me up.

It didn't reach us here. Must have been a very near miss.

[Offshore Toon]

It's hot. Fucking hot.

Which combined with my absolute hatred/fear of moths is not cool.
I've got a mate that will eat any moth for a fiver. You two should link up.

[Spikey M]

............what?

[Bam]

Your wife woke you up to tell you it’s raining? :eyemouth:

:D

She actually told me to get the cushions in from the patio furniture. :cab:

Yeah alright love.

[Foe]

Blame the big nasty oil and gas companies for this heat wave. Everybody else is.

Green peace can do one, think of all the photosynthesis happening right now.

[Offshore Toon]

............what?
ANY moth for a fiver. That's his guarantee. Other insects/objects require some negotiating, but sometimes you can wrangle a freebee.

[Shindig]

What's the logic? Does he like how they taste? Is it some sort of power play? Has he misinterpreted the food chain?

[Spikey M]

Does he have an official diagnosis?

[Giggles]

What's the logic? Does he like how they taste? Is it some sort of power play? Has he misinterpreted the food chain?

Fivers.

[Offshore Toon]

It started out because it was funny, but now it's just easy money for him. It's well worth the fiver too so everybody wins--even Yev.

I couldn't do it myself, but ultimately the Chinese do it for nothing so its not really a big deal.

It actually started early on as just normal eating challenges (e.g. a whole box of Wheatabix dry) which has developed onto almost anything.

[Bam]

It started out because it was funny


Hilarious

[Raoul Duke]

No doubt this geezer goes to Australia and dies

[Offshore Toon]

Hilarious
You used to send voice clips to teenagers for fun when you were in your early thirties, mate.

[Offshore Toon]

No doubt this geezer goes to Australia and dies
There was a news story about somebody getting ill from eating a slug recently, so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise. Although he has said he won't eat slugs.

[Lewis]

There was a lad in the year below at school who pissed himself in a lesson for a fiver. He tried to spin it as him being MENTAL, but nobody was having it.

[John]

It's hot. Fucking hot.

Which combined with my absolute hatred/fear of moths is not cool.

Moths would be fine if they weren't so hectic. If they'd just chill out and cling to the wall somewhere I'd usher far more of them out the window.


There was a news story about somebody getting ill from eating a slug recently, so it wouldn't be too much of a surprise.

He got lungworm and spent a decade in a coma before dying. Your mate needs to revisit his pricing model.

[randomlegend]

I had a mate at school who'd eat or snort pretty much anything for money.

I remember him telling me one day about how he'd been to the doctor's about his nose bleeds but they weren't sure what was cussing them. He seemed genuinely not to have considered it might be the grit salt and refreshers he'd been snorting until I pointed it out.

[Boydy]

Good material for your UCAS personal statement though.

[Foe]

SItting about 25c up here right now. So hot. You southerners are going to melt.

RIP.

So good though. Gonna have an ice cream after lunch. :cool:

[Mike]

I'm about to go get my 2019 tan fully underway.

[Lewis]

I'm going through Hitchin on the train and my phone says thirty-seven degrees lmao at Mahow.

[Spikey M]

'Only' 34c here.

[Jimmy Floyd]

At lunch I went to buy a tape measure at Homebase, and queued for 15 minutes behind people all buying hot weather related equipment: desk fans, massive floor fans, even a fully blown up paddling pool.

Wankers. This is England, come prepared.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm going through Hitchin on the train and my phone says thirty-seven degrees lmao at Mahow.
Yeah it's a dick here.

[Shindig]

Well, I took the easy way out and bussed it back home. Ten minutes on a boiling bus > an hour's walk in this humidity.

I'm sitting at home now realising neither were really good choices. The Durham 10k is going on in this. Expect deaths.

[Lewis]

The lol ended up being on me when the rail network fell to pieces and I got to Hull eighty minutes late. No wonder hot countries don't have trains.

[Kikó]

Well, I took the easy way out and bussed it back home. Ten minutes on a boiling bus > an hour's walk in this humidity.

I'm sitting at home now realising neither were really good choices. The Durham 10k is going on in this. Expect deaths.

How slow do you walk?

I didn't die today.

[Shindig]

It's more how fast and direct the bus goes. The walk's closer to 45 minutes, to be honest.

[Spikey M]

It's still 32 here and it's clouded over so it's as muggy as house party round Mugbulls. Just rain you prick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rained for about 5 minutes then back to 36.

[Spikey M]

Currently raining and 30c. Just stood in the back garden in it laughing like some kind of maniac.

[Shindig]

Our thunderstorms have now been pushed back to midnight. The cloud cover that was rolling in has vanished.

[mugbull]

In Nice rn and 29. This is proper summer weather

[Waffdon]

23c at best. Nice but nowhere hot enough. 30c would be like perfect.

[randomlegend]

It's still blue skies here. FML.

[Manc]

Still 29 in Yorkshire and it would seem the thunderstorm has bypassed the region. :moop:

[randomlegend]

Lightning has kicked off and the temperature feels like it dropped about 10 degrees instantly.

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Giggles]

It's windy as fuck here but warm enough that my 99 started to instantly melt and blew all over me.

[Spikey M]

Tuesdays storm was about 5 miles to the west of us. Tonight's, save for 5 minutes of rain, is just to the east of us.

Fuck off.

[Bernanke]

It's still 32 here approaching midnight what the actual fuck

[Baz]

It’s warm.

https://media.tenor.com/images/2270f35ff27dd278049029c94cdf2bec/tenor.gif

[Spikey M]

It’s warm.

https://media.tenor.com/images/2270f35ff27dd278049029c94cdf2bec/tenor.gif

Not where you are

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I just saw the biggest moth I've seen in my life.

I don't think it's dead but I have no idea where it went (hopefully outside) and I've turned the lights off as I'm worried about another joining it.

[Spikey M]

It went down to 28 here, now it's back at 32 and it's as sticky as satan's bollocks. What fresh hell is this?

[Manc]

33% chance of storms hitting at midnight. Rain you bastard.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucker was hiding behind my TV and he came out when I moved. Thought I had him again but when I laid down he flew right into my face and after two minutes I finally whipped the prick with a tea towel taking him out for good.

[Queenslander]

21 today but hotter in the sun. Next month we should see the temp ramp up for 6 months of summer here in Brisbane.

[Offshore Toon]

Fucker was hiding behind my TV and he came out when I moved. Thought I had him again but when I laid down he flew right into my face and after two minutes I finally whipped the prick with a tea towel taking him out for good.
Fancy sending it to me in the post?

[Shindig]

No rain. What a tease. Well, I'll enjoy the last of the sun before it rains til Tuesday. Localised flooding. :moop:

[Baz]

Was planning a secret day on sunbathing at work today but it’s all clouds.

[randomlegend]

What is it with all you weird fuckers being scared of moths?

[Baz]

Was planning a secret day on sunbathing at work today but it’s all clouds.Spent an hour playing Pokemon and wandering around with my mate instead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's actually nice today.

[Shindig]

It was decent until 4pm when the sky farted and shat its pants. I pity the poor sods down at Seaburn for the Air Show.

[Shindig]

Stormy. It's been due for what feels like weeks.

[Giggles]

Stormy would be class. I'm sick of rolling off my kacks like swimming trunks.

[niko_cee]

Well, I can't unread that.

[Ian]

It's absolutely fucking tipped down here. I assume it's getting it all out of its system so it can be blazing, glorious sunshine when I'm stuck in the flat on backshift next week. :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Warm here everyday until late afternoon when it pisses it down hard.

Just started pouring and it's probably the worst day yet.

[Shindig]

Ridiculous rain around 3pm here. Straight down, torrential and some mad thunder.

[Magic]

LOL it flooded again before I could move my stuff out.

6 inches this time. Had to be pumped out, but a lot of my shit is ruined.

[Raoul Duke]

Bet that's not the first time you've been pumped by 6 inches and had your shit ruined

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thumb. It. In.

[Raoul Duke]

:thbup:

[Spikey M]

:drool:

[Giggles]

10° :drool:

I've missed not having my kacks stuck to my balls before I even get in to work.

[Mike]

Bloody good today! I've been adding to my holiday tan.

[Queenslander]

35 degrees today and it is only the 6th day of spring.

This summer is going to bother so many blow ins from down south. :drool:

[Giggles]

I’ve to head southwest for work tomorrow. I better pack some kacks.

[Giggles]

Well that was a whole pile of fuck all.

https://pantalonz.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/isaac.jpeg

[Spikey M]

This is why people should only get their weather forecasts from the Met Office (or the Irish equivalent). The Met have been saying all week that in all likelihood it is going to be a minor affair and took great pains to say "IT IS NOT A HURRICANE". Yet all the papers and TV News lead with 'Hurricane Lorenzo: threat to life." It was always bollocks.

[Giggles]

Opposite here. Met Eireann love the attention so have been banging the "SIGNIFICANT LEVEL EVENT" drum all week. Perhaps we should get it from the Met Office.

[Spikey M]

In fairness, you had a higher chance of it actually being an event than we did, but at best it was only ever going to be a strong autumn storm. As it is, it was barely a fart.

[Giggles]

This bodes well for the morning.


1183797403914297348

[Shindig]

Take the long way to Tipperary.

[Shindig]

Yesterday the Wear was surprisingly close to breaking it's banks for the first time in about 7 years. We've got a weather warning of more rain forecast all of Thursday / Friday. :uhoh:

[Giggles]

Trampoline on a motorway. Nice.


1216683152414072832

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Who would loose such a thing?

[Spikey M]

This wind whistling up the side of the house can fuck off, the busy cunt.

[phonics]

We have a wind so famous that it has it's own name (La Bise, which translates as 'the kiss') but it hasn't started yet which is worrying. It basically means the mountains are too warm.

[mugbull]

We have a wind so famous that it has it's own name (La Bise, which translates as 'the kiss') but it hasn't started yet which is worrying. It basically means the mountains are too warm.

It's been a fucking warm winter hasn't it? At least on the continent. Stockholm is due for its warmest January day ever on Wednesday and Prague hasn't even seen any snow yet

[Shindig]

Yeah, climate change is real. We haven't had a proper winter since the Beast from the East year. We'll get no snow this year, guaranteed.

[Spikey M]

Speaking of which, is Australia still on fire? Twitter and the BBC have moved on.

[Shindig]

Yes. It's been on fire since September.

[Giggles]

We've already had some snow #climatechangemyth

[Mellberg]

Yeah, climate change is real. We haven't had a proper winter since the Beast from the East year. We'll get no snow this year, guaranteed.

That was two years ago.

[Spikey M]

It usually snows when I go on any form of Holiday and I'm at Centre Parcs next week so add a load of bread and milk to your shopping lists.

[John Arne]

They reckon it may rain this weekend, and be unseasonal cold. 22-24 degrees predicted :(

[Shindig]

That was two years ago.

You're right. :| I thought it was three back.

[Queenslander]

Speaking of which, is Australia still on fire? Twitter and the BBC have moved on.


Too right they are and Scummo has already said coal mining and our coal generators will keep going forward because China something something... climate change is still socialist propaganda and Cardinal Pell was stitched up by the god hating Victorian court system.

Boomer men and the Media HATE that Jacinda Ardern is visting Queensland on holidays to help promote the South East as a tourist destination.

We are run by demons and the Murdoch media is doubling down on everything.

[mugbull]

I will say thought that when California was on fire last year, none of the foreign media covered it for longer than a day or two

[Queenslander]

I will say thought that when California was on fire last year, none of the foreign media covered it for longer than a day or two

It was on the 6pm news most days down here.

[Shindig]

Our lot didn't hang about for the Amazon or Arctic fires either.

[Magic]

This constant wind is boring now.

[mugbull]

Some rumblings about the polar vortex making its way down into Europe next weekend around the 25th :drool:

[Spikey M]

There's meant to be a proper storm tomorrow. Lock up your trampolines fellas.

[Giggles]

It’s hit the wesht here already, they had to cancel their European city of culture thing today in Galway. I think 5am is peak but it’s only an orange warning at the same time.

[Foe]

Windy as fuck here and loads of rain.

Seems like an annual thing so not sure what the fuss is about.

[niko_cee]

I noticed they've called a bunch of games off in Holland and Belgium due to this, which seemed a bit soft.

[Spikey M]

The Met are saying it's meant to be the worst (strongest and most wide spread) storm for 7 years. Gusts of 60-70mph expected across the entirety of England and Wales. Stronger in places. It's expected to ramp up again before hitting Holland. Who the fuck plays football in 70+ mph wind?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Non-pussies.

[Mike]

The rain has woken me up.

The Peterhead game was abandoned today because of the wind. Clearly north east Scotland doesn’t.

[Byron]

Hoping the trains get fucked over. It's Greater Anglia so there's probably a train in the Orwell by now.

[Giggles]

Went out to do the groceries at 8. Fucking hell it’s ropey on the high junctions, especially in a van.

[Shindig]

Put some ear plugs in last night and still didn't sleep a wink.

[Manc]

Storm at full tilt in West Yorkshire. River banks bursting, towns flooding, the usual.

[Smjffy]

Man City game called off. Is it really that bad? It's just a bit of wind.

[Kikó]

Yes it's that bad.

[Smjffy]

It doesn't seem to be here. Woke up this morning and the worst damage was the black bin had moved to the other side of the drive but everything else intact.

[Shindig]

I was going to watch some arrivals at Heathrow on youtube but apparently the weather's murdered their stream. :D

[Baz]

One fence panel gone this morning. I expect more to be missing when I get home.

[niko_cee]

Wind's getting up a bit here but the trampoline and all other children garden shit still unmoved.

3/10

[niko_cee]

Also, if the Sheffield Utd game goes ahead then City have simply called this off opportunistically as they don't fancy playing in the wind (not something they would be alone in doing).

[Smjffy]

Yep, definitely not because it could potentially mean a three week break since their last match, that's not something Man City would do. No, siree.

[niko_cee]

If Klopp had the chance to call off a game for wind he'd do it quicker than you could say gegenpress.

[Disco]

It's also not the club, let alone the manager, who decides whether games are called off so you can put your tin foil hats away for now.

[Mike]

Just seen a man waxing his car!

[Spikey M]

How did he get hair on it?

[Gray Fox]

This has caused a transatlantic flight to arrive in New York 1hr and 20mins faster than its usual time, breaking the record for travel from one side to the other at just under 5 hours.

If you're going the other way it's adding on over 2 hours to avoid the worst of it as well.

That is nuts.

Not much happened where I live until about midnight, when the wind went cray cray. My bins are somehow still where I left them mind. Good bins.

This has caused a transatlantic flight to arrive in New York 1hr and 20mins faster than its usual time, breaking the record for travel from one side to the other at just under 5 hours.

If you're going the other way it's adding on over 2 hours to avoid the worst of it as well.

At Heathrow I've seen around 13 go-arounds (seems like the A380s and Dreamliners don't fancy it) and a Quantas Dreamliner's tailstruck the runway on takeoff. :|

EDIT: And I've seen a one bounce three times on landing. Eek.

[Bam]

I was going to watch some arrivals at Heathrow on youtube but apparently the weather's murdered their stream. :D

You was going to watch what??

[Giggles]

It’s working now. Some are fairly hairy.

[Shindig]

God knows what it's like for the passengers.

Yeah, this is the best of 'em. Almost home and then gunned it out of there.

[Spikey M]

Alright, the wind can fuck off now.

[Disco]

It can't make up it's mind here, one minute the wind is blowing horizontal sheets of rain across the sky and the next it's bright sunshine and calm as you like.

The one good thing about Exeter was that the landscape was arranged in such a way that you could see both the current weather and the weather in an hour's time. Often they were both rain, but it beats Michael Fish.

[Giggles]

Fair slap of snow in the south west here today. I was near booking a hotel in Limerick earlier but I got out.

[Shindig]

Finally some proper snow up here.

[Giggles]

I know I should be used to it by now but the 11 straight days of rain is starting to fucking annoy me.

[SincereTheRebel]

Probably not the correct thread but for a few weeks now, there has been a super bright star that seemed out of place near the moon. Much larger and brighter than anything else in the sky. Turns out it is actually the planet called Venus.

Give or take the odd day it feels like it has rained everyday for the past 5 months.

[Spikey M]

And a storm every weekend for the last 11 years.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I moved into my flat in October and I don't think I've yet seen the outside balcony/terrace thing not drenched in water. It's been a joke.

Hopefully means a good summer to come, weather tends to get bored after a while.

It's killing my football teams season. We're basically running out of weekends to complete the season so will end up with back to back games (2*60 minutes v the same opposition) or midweek. One team in the league has 1 game left to our 9.

It’s a lovely morning here. Hopefully the storm stays in the west.

Ive never heard of anything like this before, but that is amazing :D

We're the bottom team here: http://fulltime-league.thefa.com/ProcessPublicSelect.do?psSelectedSeason=499196596&psSelectedDivision=613735058&psSelectedCompetition=0&psSelectedLeague=9031785

Few of my old classmates in that OH side. Those names were very good players in schooldays so guessing the standard is decent.

[-james-]

Enjoying the spread of goal averages in that league table. Economicals living up to their name, whilst Jimmy's mates see six goals a game. Simply must make it down to one of their games some time.

[Kikó]

Old Hampts first team are great. They have David Gill's son at the back.

A picture from today with both mine and oh first team

The library pitch. Didn't know they'd 4G'd it over. Used to be a nice cavern effect in there when we (not me, evidently) played the big cup ties against posh schools with the road to the left, girls' school behind you and kids in uniform lining the far touchline. In 2005 we had a 0-0 national semi final there on a soggy bog of a pitch and then got through the shootout (thanks to our keeper who went on to play National League) into the final at the Walkers Stadium, where we were torched by a better-resourced public school.

First team cricket square is right on the line of the nearest yellow player's head as we look - that's where players like Zafar Ansari and Toby Roland-Jones came up - and beyond that there are a shit ton of rugby pitches and the old boys' clubhouse way in the distance (no licensed bar, so they just keep cans of Fosters in a fridge). Next to that is the state school which in my day was rough and they used to throw flaming cans of deodorant and things like that over the fence at us. Probably lovely people now.

[Kikó]

It's currently 2-1 to the mighty onions.

[Giggles]

She’s raw here now.

Hail storm with you in five.

Now it fucking snowing.

[Mike]

What a difference a month makes, it’s glorious here! Lay in the sun getting my end if the world tan sorted.

[Baz]

A hot one tomorrow, boys.

I think I’ll be participating in my three Teams meetings from the garden.

[Spikey M]

I've booked a days holiday. Barbecue will be out. Beer is ready in the fridge.

[Don]

I've got quite a bit on at work this week for a change but I'm praying I can get on with it in the morning so that I can get out there early and burn like a Grenfell immigrant :drool:
