So we've got a hurricane warning for this weekend which I normally take with a pinch of salt but went out on the balcony for the early morning fag and it kicked up a notch. Thunder, lightning, hail, very strong wind, etc. Had to fold up the easy chairs and the crane that seems to be working of its own accord over the road is a bit worrying. Already one footie game has been canceled, hope the pub isn't!!!

Hurricane
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
According to the local weather station, we've had winds over 60 MPH through the night and currently at 40.3 MPH
The power has been off 3 times in the night.
The Missus has just headed off for the sorting office to fetch a parcel - I'm not expecting to see her ever again.
I probably ought to just go back to bed.
Shame I missed the earthquake in the week.

My builder says one of the outbuildings will go over with the next hurricane. Guess it's time to get all the old machines shifted into it and take lots of photos for the insurance man.
Thanks for the tip-off.

Imagine the same happening to all 10,000 or however many windmills after these have been installed at vast expense in the UK as the Government plans
(I can see that tiltable blades would make the thing more expensive, but couldn't it at least have been rotated sideways to the wind?)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
