Since when have we started naming fucking storms in this country ?

Fucking storm? Sounds like something Ipswich people would name an orgy.

I's because it happened on St Judes feast day.
No I've never heard of him either.

That piddly little thing wouldn't rate as a fart on the Hurricane /Typhoon index.

I preferred when they were named after women, it reminded you what happened when one of the female sex had a hissy fit Twisted Evil

Hmm, I know why its called storm 'St Jude', I just don't see why we need to call it anything other than the 'windy night in 2013'.

They still do with hurricanes I think. Alphabetically through mens and then womens names that have been pre-selected.

Calling this one St Jude is just an example of the modern phenomenon of media overhype, and the need to catastrophise normal events..

Storm hit Brighton yesterday morning. I was down madeira drive at 6am waiting for my friends. We all just chilled on our bikes until everyone arrived. Saw a fallen wall, broken bins and a lot of debris about and the wind was fairly strong. A good few motorcycles had been knocked over.....


Still went to brands hatch, didn't race mind, but weather turned out to be awesome in the end. Thumbs Up

Of course some of my mates gave the excuse the wind kept pushing them off their bikes. Rolling Eyes Told um they better do some pushups for next time.

Clapping Brilliant Laughing

Must admit I was a tiny bit worried with the media hype about this storm. However after being in 4 Hurricanes and one Tornado in America - It was just a blustery night Thumbs Down

The papers will have created the hype, created the name, and then plastered it all over their front pages to sell more copies. I'm 100% certain of that.
