    Yeah

    I was hanging out the clothes and thinking if it would rain as forecasted and then heard the thunder rumble but it sounded far off in the direction of the irish sea, so on instinct and gut feeling i have taken the chance and left my jocks n socks hung out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 152 ✭✭JimmyFloyd


    It just started lashing rain here

    Luckily for you it's a good night for wet jocks and socks!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,572 ✭✭✭msg11


    And there I was thinking I had an admirer outside my window with a flashing camera :mad:

    PFT

    A bit of rain was factored in. A little shower was all that was.

    Its all gone. :mad:

    Happens every few days here. Still great to get in a car and drive behind a storm, just to watch the lightning strikes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 749 ✭✭✭Spastafarian


    It's still going off in Dun Leary.. Dun Laogry... Dun...
    Dammit I'm going to have to learn how spell this place soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭whatduck


    That one sounded closer and I could have swore I just saw a flash, in Ayrfield.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 152 ✭✭JimmyFloyd


    Wait, it's back

    And it's getting closer and closer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,244 ✭✭✭ironictoaster

    lol never heard a clap like that one. it sounded like a spaceship:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,717 ✭✭✭Nehaxak


    I was down making a cup of tea and saw a flash out the corner of my eye, I honestly thought some weirdo was outside taking pics of me in the window in my boxers. So, I picked up a hurley, opened the door, heard the thunder and quietly walked back inside slightly embarrassed. :o I do have a nice bottom though so I was justified, if a little paranoid.

    It just sounded like that creature from Cloverfield a second ago

    And the heavens just opened too........
