    It's embarrassing that we now name these weather fronts.
    Compared to other countries our storms are just pleasant breezes.

    Don't mention that view within the bounds of Cumbria, Beds. Might not go down all that well.

    Guess if you then compare Cumbria to New Orleans after Katrina or a Tennessee trailer park after a big twister there is another huge difference.

    With weather, one persons big storm is another persons slight breeze.

    A statement from Storm Katie said that every part of my fence that had been blown down in the night was, in fact, progress. I replied that shoving the fence back up and wedging it in place with a stick was an interim measure whilst a new fence was being sought. ( interim as in the fence will stayed wedged like that till it falls down again with the next storm)
  • My thoughts are with all the brave garden gnomes lost.

    I thought Storm Katie was a directive from CARD's militant wing.

    I can just imagine after the Brum game, everyone piling past the barriers and the thin blue line, straight up the stairs to get hold of Merde and physically eject her from the building.

    Storm Katie means I need to renew my fence panel, with our CEO Katrien, I won't be renewing my season ticket.

    You need to check out what wood Pinocchio is made of and replace your fence with that. She's obviously freakin' indestructible!
  • Wednesday are going to name the storm of the season 'Carlos'

    So Storm Carlos is really taking off up in Yorkshire.

    Sorry had a few beers.

    Massive storm?
  • Yesterday was a perfect reason why Storm Katie is named after our illustrious CEO

    Left Strood yesterday to go to Bexleyheath and my parents for dinner and it was bright sunshine, got to around Gravesend on the A2 and until I got to Dartford Heath it was lashing down with rain, when I got to around Bexley once again bright sunshine broke out and remained quite nice until 7pm when I left Bexleyheath and the heavens once again re-opened.

    During all of this it made me realise that like our CEO... Storm Katie cant make her bloody mind up and is confusing as hell!!

    Got called out at 6am for a farm alarm sounding and before getting back to station we removed part of a petrol station roof that had come loose on the wind, took down some collapsed scaffolding around a church and cut up a tree that had collapsed on a parked car. Katie certainly is a promiscuous minx.

    After all the protests in the west stand car park, she must be use to a picket fence.

    Neither did Adam Johnson, although it was his back door he was worried about.
