    WGAS?

    I've been saying Thunder and Lightning since before I could say "Oh tulip that's a big scary noise" and will no doubt continue to do so.

    I was feeling a little stressed and agitated when I climbed into bed last night and I was looking forward to a night of unwanted wakefulness.

    However, thanks to the content of your post and my awareness of the existence of a little Scotsman who would take time out to type such a thing, I slept like I'd swallowed a whole strip of Nytol.

    Once again, thank you very much.

    I reckon Gittens Gal was enjoying a bit of "Brontophilia" last night.

    Brontophilia is defined as having: "sexual arousal from a thunderstorm taking place"

    Urban Dictionary: brontophilia

    How can it be anything other than attention seeking whoreness when someone posts about thunder and lightning ?

    Brillo, go and sort her out please.

    There was a real humdinger at around 8pm. The storm was directly overhead and it wasn't so much raining stairrods as raining steroids.

    Looks like OH's newly seeded lawn has taken a bit of a battering. In fact, it looked like the Somme in the twilight earlier as I peered out through the window.

    Anyway, sat here all alone in the dark with a box of candles at my side to keep me going through the night. What am I going to do for ennertainment? Can't even play charades on my own

    Anyone else being affected by these weather events?

    You really are such an attention whore.

    Shall we send Brillo round to rescue you from a night of shoving candles up your arse? He could do that for you.

    Very true.

    Lightning and thunder now in north east London. Woke me up.
    Could it be that the gods are displeased with the Scottish referendum?
