I wonder if they have problems with match fixing, performance enhancing drugs or corruption in the administration.   :D

Well.....

We're back to normal !

Don't know how many inches of rain have fallen today.  (3?....4?) X_X.....And the wind's blowing like crazy.

Odd....But I don't remember 'them' giving this one a name.....Or has it not been classified as a storm ?
Seems worse than some of those that we've had recently.

That's a very positive way to look at it  :) thanks!

Techno - I just looked at your recent rainfall statistics - outrageous! Don't rust!
As to names - one of several thing I admire about you'uns is you are not so vaporous as to name
every tropical depression and snowfall! (Although 3-4" is getting close to needing a name)

Bloomin' 'eck !.  :o :o :o.... Storm Imogen is giving us a really good slapping at the moment, here in SW Wales.
(I'm really surprised the electrics haven't been knocked out ......Yet.  X_X)

Sounds like the windows are going to blow in at any moment....Too dark to see whether the sheep have been blown away at this time.
Can't wait to go outside and feed the chickens !  :^o :^o :^o :^o

Well....Get her out of my fields then ! ;)

(No Mark....I haven't got a genny.....Looked at some few years ago....But they didn't seem to be much cop power wise, to make much difference. The ones I might have been able to afford then, wouldn't have done much ,apart from keeping the lights going.).....MAYBE the boiler....But the kettle would have tripped them.)

So when the lights go you have to do a "Wee Willie Winkie" * with a candle in your nightshirt.
