Who says I haven't?

We're so far removed from our primitive instincts at this stage we've lost most or all capabilities to survive our natural world unaided by any form of technology or otherwise.

Technology (the various kinds) is precisely the difference between surviving and thriving in the natural world. By all means, yearn for the simplicity and harmony of living close to nature - which is lovely on fine summer days - and dying at the ripe old age of 35. I will embrace the technological advancements of human ingenuity and, God willing, live to a ripe old age in my dry, warm concrete house, surrounded by instruments to make life less laborious. Different strokes for different folks.

Irish rail are full of shyte. The trains are hours late with a bit of snow (as in dusting!) fall, the trains are hours late when the sun is shining and the glare affects the mirrors they use. They will in their holes have an undisturbed service in the height of a hurricane. It's like they don't recognise themselves at all.

Gorgeous outside at the moment. Very mild and still, very calm and peaceful, no rain.

Would Kim be doing a litmus test? That dildo like hurricane phallus graphic has all the hallmarks of a world rogue takeover bid, only a prequel to something more sinister like an American takeover.

Or am I the only one too stocked up on vodka?

No rail services affected. No excuse for me so ðŸ˜

Try telling that to the Wexford lads. Or anyone in contract to any German bargain supermarkets.or countless others in any compromised scenarios.

That's a judgement call by the drivers. They're no different to captains of ships. It's their lives that are at risk if their trucks turnover, not the pencil pushers or the bean counters.

I can't believe what I'm reading here!

We're just going to allow this bloody 'storm' to come in here and blast its way across our country while we huddle timidly in our homes?
Cowardice! Defeatism!

Feck that.:mad:
I'm heading down to Tramore Strand at the crack of dawn armed with a big stick, two rock-hard fists and an indefatigable courage and by God I'll batter this jumped-up breeze back into the ocean it came from or die trying!

Who's with me?!

None here in the city! Drove from Killarney to Cork city a couple of hours ago. Was rainy enough in places. And quite foggy actually.

It'll all be over by tea time!

But I wonder what damage this unwanted visitor will leave behind?
Fallen trees, power lines down, telephone lines too, broken glass, toppled lorries, flying hoardings, maybe even a crane or two toppled? Lots of flooding I guess ...

Hopefully no deaths.

Indeed hopefully she'll come and go quietly enough. Will make for exciting viewing on Reeling in the Years in 30 years time!

Well, some Right-wing party won in the Austrian election (HitlerY2k), so all we need is someone to make a link with chemtrails/Illuminati. There must be a connection in all of this...

I was on a Dart the other day, and it was delayed because of "leaves on the line". There will - at the very least - be leaves on the line tomorrow. It's amazing that they can't predict this.

Hurricanes are named after females because of how wet and wild they are when they come and the destruction they leave behind when they're gone. #fact

Be plenty of leaves on the line tomorrow. They might even be still attached to the tree.

I bought Sobieski for a change. Bastids put me in here behind my back.

Just had a thought. Gonna be easy for the piss artists ringing in sick in the morning.

Maybe you should look up why snow and leaves on the lines cause problems.

Fecked electric motors (snow) and trains vanishing from signaling systems or being unable to stop (leaves).

Look it up.

...And possibly no internet so you won't be able to post on Boards.

Only that you hashtagged it I'd never have believed it.

Attach a hoover onto the bottom of every train and use an empty carriage as the 'bag'. Problem solved.

Lots of leaves in fact
