Anyone know if that west wind is still blowing out there? I was killed out getting home last night

Sorry that was my fault. I held a shamanistic ceremony in my back garden yesterday and I called the west wind. I actually called the east wind first but I was put on hold.

Met Éireann say you won't be killed out this evening but you might be fair knackered.

You can't say "knackered". It's too offensive and not pc. The accepted term is "itinerated".

Flags are still blowing hard but they are dropping every now and again, which they weren't earlier. It is meant to get less windy towards the evening. I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later!

Why not look at it from the "glass half full" point of view and recall instead the enormous velocities so effortlessly achieved this morning when eastbound?

Of course, that was nothing to do with the wind ... some mornings, you're just really "on form".

Headin back to the west today i made the foolhardy mistake of jumpin out of the car at athlone and cycling to tuam......bout 45 miles all in......3 hours:rolleyes:, ive often done the same spin and it usually takes about 1 hr 45-50.As an auld fella at home used to say.....dont even think about calling yourself a cyclist until you can cycle into the wind, goodman joe....well said:)

Imagine these comparisons. A cyclist in this country riding a 14kg bike in tempreatures of 12'c does a 6 mile run in 16mins. What time would the same cyclist do in southern spain on a 8kg bike at tempreatures of about 22'c?
