Terrorist Weather?

Any casualties?

My wee trailer was lifted and blown past my car.
Knocked over two trees in pots and scratched the Jallopy's Lower front wing.

But no body deaded.

How about we stop doing the American thing of giving storms names.

Although, does make for an interesting conversation

"ffs.... Ali stoved my garden in, this morning"

My garden gate was killed.
Everyone else is expected to die in heavy rain and flooding later today. The bodies that aren't washed away on the floodwaters are expected to be swept up by more strong winds over the weekend.

But unlike the Yanks, being modern British Libtards, we feel the need to give our first storm a Muslim name, to come across as inclusive. How very nice.


Otoh, you could interpret that as choosing a name from the evil enemy, that represent a threat to us Thinking
Or maybe the guy that chose it was a muslim.
Or maybe a computer dished it up.
Or maybe they were thinking of Mohammed Ali, because they thought the storm would deliver a hefty punch.
Or maybe....etc.

Or maybe its a plot by Teresa May to take attention away from the Russian poisoning plot and to put the blame of the 2 death with ISIS, as it was a very complex terrorist attack

Had a cartoon moment on the bike yesterday, luckily, a not very large branch blew off a tree and landed in my lap whilst out riding!! Fortunately, I didn't have to stop, just had to pull it off me and throw it to the side !!

You were lucky. The only reason you survived was because the particular tree it came from wasn't very nasty really. Its bark was worse than its bite...

Rolling Eyes Note to self: must try harder.
I'll leave now Laughing

The IRA are back! Well, they always cooperated with Middle East terrorists. Perhaps the Palestinians will name one of their sandstorms Paddy.

Tbh, I think we could do without crackpot political hysteria in every thread.

Oh, it's sheer coincidence, not a cut down coincidence, no hyphen !! I thought you worked in IT, could you at least get your spell checker working !!

Anyhow, can you provide proof that it's not named after Ali Campbell

Afteral, in the 80's UB40 did storm the charts !! Laughing Laughing

It was correct when they had women's names. Unpredictable, dangerous, spectacular, frightening. All things that apply to a woman when she is in a bad mood. Whistle

Making the first one of the season a Muslim one, is a first, as is picking a Muslim name. Why do you think that might be?


I dunno, it began with A?
I think it was because they wanted to wind YOU up further, for the entertainment value it provides to everyone else, because a happy population is a quiescent population Very Happy
