Virgin media failing to turn up for appt to fix internet in Swindon!

Mine has been ok all day....

Slightly greater risk to life in city of 750,000 people than an uninhabited rock.

That isn't the point you were making. Plus as the wind blows it's not that far away from me.

Hopefully the Amex survived with no damage and the game will be On.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

All fine ..including the work I’ve done since then…oh but a small pot of daffs fell over.


On a serious note it’s sad to start hearing about people that have died or been injured by this storm

Three in England, north London, Hampshire and Merseyside.

Looks like the worst is over for now. One thing to remember though, this would have been much much worse if Eunice had arrived when our trees were in leaf...

 

[atfc village]

Worked outside from 8 till 1 got blown over 3 times . Gave up in the end as it was getting to dangerous .

Reminds me of the Hot Fuzz moment when Timothy Dalton gets impaled

That was Adam Buxton getting his head caved in.

So it was. Dalton slipped and impaled on the toy town spire

It failed to live up to the hype really. Other countries must laugh at our over excitement by comparison. For the first time in decades quite a lot people lost power and/or still don’t have. It reminded me that used to happen every month as a kid during autumn/winter months. Sort of normal. Shows how lucky and how much better our infrastructure is now so well done all the Power Rangers out there keeping us warm and switched on ce soir.

Do the 1000's of people not having power for up to 10 days or more from Storm Arwen last November not count?

Funny how that got nothing like the wall to wall coverage Eunice has got (a channel 4 news 'special' ffs) simply because it hit London

Lewes real ale and curry update:

Pint of best in John Harvey Tavern
Pint of West Coast Pale and a Tring Brewery ESB in Gardeners Arms
Pint of Harvey’s Pale in Rights of Man
Pint of Hophead in Lewes Arms
Prawn puri and lamb naga and a pint of Cobra.

Moderate to strong winds in an around the South Coast area which will clear by mid afternoon with an outbreak of sunshine at 3pm.

As an aside there were at least two separate groups of Burnley fans staying in “Loose” last night. Both said Brighton is too expensive.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Still no power this morning apart from my little generator giving me light and low power items. No heating apart from world destroying log burner.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Eastbourne station closed damage to roofing.

Hopefully you didn’t get a dirty glass, you could be autographing your under crackers in 1901 this afternoon..

Will be small crowd today with the lack of trains running and poor weather forecast for later.

 

[The Clamp]

Walked into Shoreham along the coast path yesterday afternoon at about 1:30, a few gusts and quite impress waves but nothing that bad. Was all calm away from the beach and all over and done with by about 3.
Calm as a Hindu cow today. Was going to be going to Lewes con-club to watch Alabaster Deplume later but now working instead. Don’t know how I’d have got there anyway as after two years of a virtually closed railway network with nobody using trains , they decide to do major maintenance work now that it’s all opened up again. Good planning.

More widespread, that lot were ooop north so yes, they don’t count…
