    maybe because they have their own big wind coming this week. They could seriously get lambasted if some of them charts came off.

    The darts overran, so might've been delayed with that (Wolfie upset the double 16 fairy!)

    Saw it last night on RTE player. Thought the reference to 'the fairies' could have been left out of a 'documentary'... hmmmm... :D

    Watched last night on RTE player myself. I felt embarrassed to be Irish when they mentioned the "wind fairies" part because it aired on British TV. I hope it doesn't get worldwide exposure, like the 800 skeletons found in a septic tank in Tuam - I hate being embarrassed by my country's past.

    If all else fails throw stones at it that might make it go away.

    No need to be embarrassed Zack all countries have dark deeds in their past. Fairy beliefs were common amongst the peasantry of most countries in the not too distant past. I am sure they still have followers. Most of the worlds population back then were uneducated through no fault of their own.
    Modern forecasting is till a developing science and in 176 years time people will be tittering at our crude methods.

    Just watched it again it said "As the intensity of the storm peaked, there are a lot of reports of many extraordinary attempts to survive.Theres another story from moate, Co. Westmeath about people who couldn't get shelter from the wind.One poor man went into a barrel:confused:.But he was swept up and down the town in the barrel because the storm was so strong.":rolleyes:

    And it showed a video of a barrel getting swept down a street lol absolutely comical :pac:

    It's funny in a way that we feel so superior to the ways and beliefs of our ancestors, yet readily accept modern day myths as if they were the ultimate truth. ;)
