He means not windy enough.

There are very strange people, I'm one of them, who enjoy extreme weather. The more extreme the better. This is more like a storm in a teacup.

I'm sure our Atlantic coast is a lovely teacup at the moment.

Sew people on Puerto Rico have officially dismissed your complaint. Said if you can get online, it's not that bad.

Yep, lying here listening to the wind howling round the house in Kildare. have to get up to drive into work now in a few, but am thinking this morning I'll chance the traffic on the m7 rather than go the back roads.

If the electricity is gone, a tree has fallen in a spot the children are normally playing near, or something like roof tiles/sheeting has flown off, it's good enough reason to close a school. Insurance wouldn't cover children being there in these situations.

If its behind you, you'll probably do it in 25.

As usual the nerds in the weather forum who were **** each other off looking at isobar porn got it totally wrong. I have sent a reminder text to all my employees that today is a normal working day and anyone not present will be considered absent.

During storm ophelia a few people decided not to turn up to work. I docked a days holidays off them. I was just letting them know that I will not be so generous this time.

So this time you won't be so generous and will mark them absent.

And, dare I say it, put them on your list of enemies!!!?!?!

But you weren't generous at all, a miserable way of taking a day off them without costing yourself anyway.

I should have said "in 45 minutes time". The cycle is usually only about 7-8 minutes but today, the wind was in my face. And it will probably have died down by the time I go home, so it won't be there to push me home.

I see the Corrib in Galway city was looking fairly high early (on telly) and high tide was hitting just before 8 this morning. Hopefully it doesn't flood.

What do you expect......he’s the fucker who needs to down 45 pints in the 2 hours on his downtime. Veeeery hard to be a sound boss when your hangovers are that severe.

I hope we never get a proper storm like those that hit the USA. But if we do and don't know what some people will do. Where I am from this is fairly normal.

Wow what a non event, the weather people need to get treatment for their premature ejaculation.

The last storm people were moaning that the government didn’t give them a strong enough warning.

Idiots not affected by storm whinge that they weren't affected by storm - another great thread.

M7 is usually grand inbound on Fridays so you should be OK. It'll be armageddon as usual this evening though.

Isn't the worst yet to come though? There are winds circling round the south wrdt coast that haven't quite reached us yet. Aren't they what the warnings are about?

They predicted it to be stormy and windy on the west coast, south west and it was so they got it right.

Where are you based?

WORST THREAD EVER

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

It was wild and windy but by no means a major storm. I'm getting sick of people talking up storms ever since we started naming them and colour coding weather alerts. To read some on the Weather Forum, it was/is as bad a storm as they have ever experienced and they are just trying to survive it. While others are more realistic and recognise it for what it is - a fast moving strong gale.
