Chim Chim Cheroo!

Must be one of dem Nazi war machines.

Not impressed.

ferocious

Like a million monocles popping out at once, and then suddenly silenced.

+1 Subby.
I lol'd.

We have an escaped period. I repeat, we have an escaped period. EVERYBODY PANIC!

Bloody 'ell.

FTA: "The past few weeks have been so dry that most of the nation's toads, recently roused from hibernation, have been unable to make their annual pilgrimage to their mating ponds."

Not trying to troll, but I'll be damned if "Fark posters" (myself included, I suppose) didn't come to mind when I read the phrase: "unable to make their annual pilgrimage to their mating ponds".

But... but... the cameras will save us! And the lack of guns and knives!

'Bout that time, eh chaps?

A big storm?!
Quite...

Man On Pink Corner: But... but... the cameras will save us! And the lack of guns and knives!

it helps to read the article.

Oops.

I'm supposed to be flying from England to Ireland on Monday morning for my weekly commute.

I may be spending a few hours in the departure lounge.

Well, at least Britain's toads will be happy.

Voldemort is at it again.

Won't someone think of the toads!

I just ate a Taco Bell, so I'm also expecting an explosive storm.

1 millibar every hour for 24 hours?
Journalist must've not taken a look at a barometer, considering there is generally about 1,000 millibars fluctuation between good and bad weather.
/either that or they're utter pansies about weather.
//What's the weather today guv'nor? Rainier than usual!
///and tommorrow? A drought! No rain for 24 hours!

I'm stunned it took them until the fourth paragraph to raise the point.

/Britain loves the toads
//Britain hates the frogs

Let me FTFY:

Like a million kebabs scattered across the pavement

Like a million Burberry baseball caps stuck in trees

Like a million mechanical apologies for "delay this may cause" on the railways

Like a million people complaining they can't watch "Sky Dinosaurs & Nazis Channel" because the wind twisted their satellite dish out of alignment

Good job I escaped yesterday...

Time to break out your Wellies!

1,030 mb = fine and dry
- 950 mb = wet and squally

I hope this storm filled out an SF-986 and had it properly authorized by the Bureau of Storms and Natural Disasters's Office of Abnormal Meteorological Events. If not, it could be subject to a warning (if this is its first offense).

Am I the only one who read that as "expletive storm?" I was thinking "How the hell can shiat like that be organised? And who the fark would give a damn and be pissed off by something like that?"

Britain placed on high alert, expecting to be "bombed" tomorrow night.

But St. Pattys day is still a couple of weeks away..

We are also quite fond of newts

I live by the river....

80 mph winds? Torrential rains? Florida laughs at your puny weather.

Brilliant!

Guy Fawkes contentedly smiles at last in his grave.

Don't you realize what this means?! It's CLIMATE CHANGE!!! AHhhhhh! Everyone panic! This is the worst storm EVER and we caused it OURSELVES! Think of the toads, people! (What? This is good for the toads? Oh. Umm...) Think of the power going out at your favorite pub! Run for your lives! And try not to track any mud or carbon on the rug. Carbon footprints are a biatch to get out of the carpet.

I don't get "England". Why do you all put up with it? Why don't you just all leave?

My backyard..


you gotta watch out for the orbs of death, otherwise it's all good.
/not a streetlight.

"hmm"
"Yes"
"quite"
"indeed"

I'm expecting to get bombed tomorrow night so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies....

Almost.... almost.... almost....

Mad Scientist: Almost.... almost.... almost....

Well done.

I guess we'll see if the folks running the airports in England are smarter than the folks running airports in Germany: remember that idiot trying to land the plane in gale-force winds last week that scraped his wingtip before doing a go-around?

Air Traffic Controller: "I say, old chap, the runway is most assuredly closed. It's due to the tremendous winds, you see. We can't have airliners blowing all about the aerodrome, naturally. I'm sure you understand. Ever so sorry for any inconvenience. Cheerio! Pip-pip!"

TxRabbit: Voldemort is at it again.

YOU DARE SPEAK HIS NAME!

PlNG Um, there's about 1000 millibars' fluctuation between good weather and outer space.

PlNG: 1 millibar every hour for 24 hours?

Is vacuum a common occurence in weather where you live?

1,000 millibars fluctuation

????

Ouch.

I am in the UK, currently somewhere on the north-east coastline and I'm getting a kick out of some of the replies............

However, I'm due to go back home to the NorthWest on Tuesday morning.. camera at the ready for this 'non-event' weather and it's alleged 'aftermath' (we will be going across the M62 for the heck of it btw)...

/lols
//was a bit windy here today and yesterday - enough to force pigeons into flying backwards... nothing more...

maybe UNIT should call in the Doctor right away?

OMG, It's like 1/100th as bad as when the IRA was kicking up. EVERYONE RUNNNN!
