Is it now time to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?

It must be some life saving essential service you provide if anybody is seriously expecting you to drive to them in Donegal tomorrow. And, let's cut the bull, this is much more than a bit of rain and wind. I remember Debbie in the 60s and this is to be worse. Only a fool will travel through this, if there is any way to avoid the risk.

I remember Debbie too.......

Not too many hurricanes have struck Finland in the past 70 years. I spent the guts of a year in Antarctica many decades ago, but I won't drive unnecessarily in a severe storm, let alone a hurricane.

One or two seem to need their heads cracked open by the look of things.

The usual lot have decided to take the day off tomorrow at taxpayers expense. I know I sound like a killjoy but we really do take the piss in this country.
I have to drive from Wicklow to Letterkenny tomorrow morning for work. I'm self-employed. Nobody will pay my bills if I don't work.

And if some dies from a fallen tree or tile are we still taking the piss? I'm glad the schools are off. I'm in tomorrow too unfortunately. When I was a child a tree fell in a storm not 500 hundred metres from my house killing the mother and two kids in a car. I didn't know them, they were passing through, but hey we're taking the piss.
One day of bills won't kill you

Put the job off for a day or two. It won't kill you, a hurricane could though.

What if his job is a contract killer and if he reneges a hit will go out on him :eek:

Oh but you most certainly are... in your own way.

People will be finding out what sort of people they really work for over the next 24 hours. If you're not told to stay at home or to go home early, Id be holding a grudge for a very long time. I am off work anyway tomorrow but havent heard anything from my employers for everybody else.

It's a hurricane not just wind and rain.

Why are so many Irish people under-estimating this?

I have no problem with schools closing (though it must be a right pain for many parents who now have to make last-minute panic arrangements to get time off or organise minders etc).

Social welfare offices? Colleges?...complete piss take

You're being very dramatic. According to you a hurricane is only a bit of wind and rain. Them lazy folks in the Carribbean when they get hit by hurricanes, moaning about a bit of wind and rain is all they're doing.

What do you think a hurricane is exactly?

Do you realise how dangerous tomorrow's weather will be ? People will most likely die but you think it's not worth closing places for.

Its likely due to the fact that the parents who are making the last minute arrangements to get time off, or organise minders, could be the same parents who work as staff in social welfare offices, or indeed, colleges!

A strength of wind that brings mass destruction that is rarely seen in Ireland.

1962 was the last one.

11 people were killed then.
