Apparently the country is fallin to bits, debris on roads, a truck over turned on the M50, a construction worker injured after being blown off a roof, traffic chaos etc!

Should have stayed in bed this morning

ya i remeber the winds began to kick up. Last week flying from London to Dub i always knew that route was a bit choppy but my fu*k coming into Dublin was like on a roller coaster, some poor Americans were sh*ttin themselves (probably their first time coming into Dublin).

George's Street is closed off because the slates are flying off the roofs onto the roads etc!!!

Really?? Crap, I've to walk down Georges street to get home

I think I'd be very wary about getting onto the top deck of a double decker bus today

a few weeks back, there was a road in a major town in cork closed because the road just "fell apart"...

Pighead · 18-01-2007 01:37PM

The whole world is falling apart for the burberry clad gentleman Pighead seen walking down the road this morning.

There he was strutting down the road doing that walk only chavs can do. Fcuker even had his tracksuit top opened to demonstrate to the rest of us how tough he was. This combined with the cigarette dangling from his mouth gave him that heroic look he was after.

Anyway good old Mother Nature a mischievous old bitch and she made my morning with one huge gust of wind that caught his treasured burberry baseball cap and made it fly through the air at a rate of knots. Suddenly the strut was gone and the "What the fcuk are you looking at" face was replaced with sheer panic.

People laughed and pointed as he ducked in between cars with all the grace of a drunken monkey trying to retrieve his precious cap. Eventually he got it but the beetroot red face meant victory was ours.

Great start to the day.

Apparently, Mary Poppins mid morning umbrella flight over Dublin has just resulted in her being slammed at high speed into the side of Liberty Hall leaving a long nasty nanny smear right down 9 floors of the famous building.

Oh the humanity.....

TequilaMockingBird · 18-01-2007 02:07PM

Pighead has made all of our days that little bit brighter! Divine retribution at its best.:D

Pity said Chav wasn't walking down Georges St....

hottstuff · 18-01-2007 02:10PM

I can imagine the crosswinds on the open (75mph) roads:eek:

KTRIC · 18-01-2007 02:17PM

I have to drive my bike home :eek: really not looking forward to that.

I was full sure the tower crane behind me flah was gonna come down. Swaying around like a drunk. Waht I couldn't believe was the operator was just sitting up in it relaxing reading the paper! :eek:

He was probably reading "How to get the fup out of a crane ASAP". Only amusing thing I saw was a plastic bag flying into someone's face, and them screaming followed by struggling to get the wretched beast off.

There's a reason it's called "Flood street" but shop owners are surprised every winter :rolleyes:

Pighead · 18-01-2007 08:06PM

Pighead lives in Givemeallyourmoneyorillknifeyouintheback Street. Are you saying I should be worried?

What does summit mean in this context? Have you invented a new language down there in Waterford.

Note: Summit means the top of a mountain, i.e I reached the summit of a mountain.

I woke up at 6pm, was all nice and calmed down by then...except a bit of drizzle

Would have hated to be a builder with that weather though, all kinds of things could have happened Click
