Dust

wil

Decking Sahara

Coming over here and giving us jobs.

Why weren't we warned?
Should I be hiring a camel?
And who is going to pay for it?
What is the boards view on this type of thing?

The article says it's rare but it happens fairly often... at lease I remember it happening a lot in the past.

You need to lay off the dust I think.

You should find yourself a safe house or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

It's an anagram of Stud, which is almost as useless a bit of information. Women prefer studs to dusts tho. Yeah. And somthing somthing.

I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

Too busy cleaning the car.
Yes it's all over the place, bit like my post.
Must have inhaled some.
Thought a neighbour was doing some demolition work. Or testing audioless explosives but looks like I've just driven Paris to Dakkar.
Cars all over the pale covered in "wash me" graffiti teasers.
Any recent volcanos?
Happened before, mistrals or something bringing Saharan sand.
At least it's warm:)

The benefit for me is that everyone else's car is now as manky as mine.

I live in a ground floor apt, and I was cursing the one upstairs wondering what the fcuk she had tipped out of the window onto my cars.
That would explain it then.

found some on my car today aswell, first taught that someone has been cutting red tiles at first then remembered years ago about red dust from the sahara,
then came across this thread.

s*&t just comes together sometimes

I live in a quiet leafy suburb nestling in the foothills of the Dublin mountains, situated between Firhouse and Saggart.





In other words, Tallaght.

My car is filthy, I only washed it a few days ago.

seriously, they haven't even checked it.
Anyone got a better, less plausible, more ridiculous or even less conspiratorially rational explanation than this?

"Wet Sahara dust may explain appearance of mud - Met Éireann
The “most plausible explanation” for widespread spots of reddish brown mud which have appeared across the east and southern coasts today, is wet dust from the Sahara, according to Met Éireann.
However the national forecaster has said there is little point in rushing to wash the family saloon as southerly or southeasterly winds are likely to remain in place for the coming days - as is the chance of rainfall - meaning there is a high risk of more dust washing down as spots of mud on us once again.
According to Met Éireann’s Joan Blackburn dust in the upper atmosphere is not an unusual phenomenon - it is usually light and well dispersed, but in certain conditions, particularly when it rains, the dust it is literally washed out of the sky and falls as a fine spattering of mud. Sometimes when it comes from the Sahara it can be red tinged, she said."

If my inter cert geography is anything to go by, the technical term for this is loess. Basically it's dried silt.
