OK, volunteers to bore a pipeline through the centre of the Earth?

power out all night. Entertaining 3 kids without electricity not fun

How much current do you normally give them?

Very windy here in North Lancs last night but only casualty was the Mut's pride when he very nearly got blown over by a particularly violent gust, I shouldn't have laughed...

Sounds pretty rough over there, my sons based at Gosport so i would imagine on sandbag duty this week. Had shed loads of snow a couple of weeks ago here in Hungary but sunshine today , not really had a proper winter this year,( yet) maybe a surprise or two still to come,

I've popped a note in Fenton's 'We're back' thread.
It's been frightening over here !!

Calm and sunny all day yesterday but mega-storm on the way according to the Met Office (but what do they know?)

Well Friday night was a barrel of laughs.

Sound of a small cannon ball hitting our house was not too fun 

Went out in to rain and wind and nearly lost my head. In the morning I found one of those stupid round metal spinny things that sit on chimmneys . Oh and half my roof tiles all over the place. Some impaled 4" into the ground!

I now have half a roof and someones elses spinny thing (not even scratched!) which I am willing to install free of charge up their jacksy.

Sigh, no new toys this year

I am glad I no longer live in the basement flat in Southsea that I used to

Your house insurance should cover this I would have thought.

For us we survived with no damage which suprised me given that we had around 12 hours of continuous gale force winds. However plenty of trees down and missing fence panels in our area .

Are you writing to your MP about it?

I feel for you guys in the u.k.
Here in Ghana when it rains, its like having a bucket of water thrown at you...the wind storms are small, but however, my garden umbrella, enjoys random flights,
Only down side is after the rain, Cobras and the like start moving around, so all my staff reach for their Machete...
My garden path is a no go zone at the moment due to a Black Mamba sitting in a bush...
Even my staffy is not impressed by that...

That is one thing I do not miss about West Africa. My wife hates snakes with a vengeance, but then she has seen too many people die in her village from snake bites .

More than 500 people lost their lives in our last big floods here, a few years ago. Needless to say, Fanny Adams has been done about preparing for the nexxt ones.

I have a hose ban here, as some locals keep nicking the tap fixings, and one tap was completely stolen, leaving a fountain, in the villa garden.
