Yeah seems like selfish waste

Maybe he is suffering from psychological problems.

And he's another quote from the news

"a lot of older people live in houses with bad insulation"

Why do they?

There has been loads of schemes for years now to upgrade pensioners and people on welfares homes with energy efficient measures, new insulation etc.

Every pensioner should have applied and got it done. There's no excuses for not taking free upgrades to your home.

Unless the wall cavities have already had the crappy insulation filler from the 80's and can't take the modern insulation.

Sorry but unless you know the numbers you are not qualified to say that. Maybe it's not clear what I'm saying, I mean if we look into it and see that the snow costs the economy X million every 10 years then it can be argued at least if its justified to spend X million every 10 years to mitigate it, but unless you do the study you don't know

You know what? I’m quite comfortable making those statements. It’s common sense. It’s not a pressing issue because cash is limited and so many things are more pressing and much more likely to both affect the economy and people’s lives if they are underfunded or if money is diverted away from there. You don’t need a peer-reviewed study to know this but I’d be willing to bet that there has been research published somewhere in the world on the subject.

Kind of disappointed in recent storms. Very over-hyped.

Pressure on weather forecasters to get this one right.

Yes because that’s their motivation - not disappointing Diddums.

I had no bother getting bread in my corner shop earlier. People want their supplies but they also want them chape so corner shops are still reasonably well-stocked! :P

Possibly shopping for elderly neighbors.

Local news at 1.00 today...

A representative from an Animal shelter (? didn't get the name)
"If you are bringing your pets for walks in the snow , make sure they are on a lead, because you don't know how deep the snow could be " !!???? WTF !!!!

Sweet Jesus the threat of snow brings out stupidity in some people.

andekwarhola · 27-02-2018 08:25PM

Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, anybody out buying 'supplies' needs to be euthanized to preserve national intelligence levels

We are senior citizens , neither of us want to risk slipping or falling . So we got a few extra litres of milk and extra bread yesterday . It was to keep us safe and warm and not having to go out in the bitter cold . I am not really bothered by your disdain to be honest

Jaysus, nearly had the virtual head bitten off me over on the weather forum for suggesting that weather nerds were making a bit of a big deal about this. You’d think we were about to enter another ice age by the way some of them are going on, and not facing into a few days of slushy snow and cold temperatures. There’ll be loads of people working through all this, while taking fairly reasonable precautions. Stocking up on gas cannisters, torches, and candles seems a bit much. It’s not a war time raid on London, or the Day After Tomorrow. Think some folk are getting into Ray Myers or Bear Grylls fantasies. No bread in Lidl – mother of God.

Anyways, I intend to work all week, and I’ve told my employees that they should expect to do the same, until they hear otherwise. A few inches of snow ain’t going to be changing that. I might reassess if I wake up and find out that my Ford Transit is underneath 4 foot of snow.

Pure unnecessary excitement and panic.

Imagine the panic if there were a natural disaster, I'd say the most of them idiots would die.

FatherTed · 27-02-2018 08:31PM

How much snow did ye get?

MilesMorales1 · 27-02-2018 08:32PM

Who are these nob heads buying out all the bread? Dunnes and Supervalu and Tesco were all bare for some reason.

Mutant z · 27-02-2018 08:33PM

Its far worse in the UK from the scenes i saw on the news.

Doctors room ghost · 27-02-2018 08:35PM

elbyrneo · 27-02-2018 08:36PM
