She posts like everyone else does so I don't see the problem. I think there interesting posts - if you don't you can simply skip past them.

Next you'll be saying MT Cranium is hijacking the daily weather thread

Electricity gone in north Sligo and my mobile reception is pants.

Never get better than edge.

Hijacks is a whopper of an exaggeration.
Scrolling past is very easy.

Tramore is windy, not damaging, but you can hear it strengthening.
The sea is white.

Things should be really ramping up now on the west coast

Seems the flight is diverting back to Dublin again.

And comes out with drivel like "I had to go north"

its simple enough, just click the posters name, click ignore and you wont see posts by anyone you dont want to..

for what its worth , in ballina co mayo it doesnt seem too bad, but it never does in town, lots of shelter, leaving home at 9 this morning, out in the country side nearer crossmolina, it was fairly rough but nothing that id be getting worried about, i think between 2 and 4 o clock looks like it could be pretty bad ,

Lots of damage re trees and infra around Cork. Last time we had this was Ophelia when Cork got hit bad. Plus buses stopping service in city and county. TBH sounds like RED to me by another name - Orange ..

From an intense driving hail shower to absolute calmness here. Not a puff of wind! South Kerry. Could be very localised though.

DOCARCH

Wind only just starting to pick up a little now in Dublin 16. Fairly sheltered by the Dublin/Wicklow Mountains.

SlowBlowin

violent hail storm with squally winds, very bad.

A normal person? FFS.:(
As stated previously if you don`t like certain posters just put them on ignore as I am sure quite a few have done to you after reading some of your contributions here.
