The Great British Weather

Good riddance. Shit building.

(They'll probably patch it up.)

Our neighbours have got a similar problem.

Good riddance. Shit building.

Know that feel.

I've been on a plane with an aborted landing, fucking terrifying.
They just power the fuck on and climb pretty rapidly.
If you are not expecting it, puts the willies right up you.

Also been in a windy landing, very disconcerting looking out of the window and seeing the runway stretching away from you.

Made it down 3rd time thankfully. I'd allow a round of applause for the pilot under those circumstances.

Cardiff and Newquay, not much help at the moment!

My son has had to evacuate the staff out of Ravensbourne University which is at the base of the Dome - the evacuation point is/was the Dome 😯

Did they check for students too?!

Fence update, 10 panels.
Propped up 5 so far, just lost a battle with a rose bush.

I'll ask 🙄

The Coppermillennium Dome? :)

It does look as if that was in need of improvement, so maybe it'll give them an impetus.

Structural rotten wood there I see

Yeah me too, microblast whatsit over the runway at Luton Airport. Was pretty funny though, some guy went 'Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee' really fucking loudly as we went back up.

Scariest thing about it was the pilot over the PA said 'Didn't like the look of that' and then never said anything else for a couple of minutes 🤣

Extra bricks on top of the beehives and watching them nervously. Because what my neighbours really need right now is angry bees in the wind.

(In truth, no swarm would survive this)

Had a go around on an Easyjet to Innsbruck once. Really low cloud and we were descending and descending not able to see anything, and with no ILS they obviously had some altitude cut off for the go around, just as they shoved the throttles full we dropped out below the cloud. Boo. Ended up diverting to Munich and then a long coach transfer back to Innsbruck airport. Missed half a day's skiing.

Public bin was steadily heading down the road like a dalek. Most amusing.

imagine the millennium dome upping and rolling along like the iconic trampoline video

I have no idea what it is but apparently pilots have to do an extra qualification before they are allowed to fly into Innsbruck.

about 6ft directly above £2k worth of my [mostly cardboard, some impossible to replace] boardgame collection.

Power cut here. Was just thinking I should charge my phone and then lost all power!

My wife is due to fly back from Scotland to Bristol airport this afternoon. Am quite concerned. She also has a back up ticket for tomorrow.

Hope you got chancel repair liability insurance when you bought that house.

That's definitely going to trigger a lot of policies...!

having a great fucking day

My neighbour is paralysed and has a medical air bed to prevent bed sores. The mattress has gone flat and their house is heated by an air source heat pump.

Cant get hold of the power supply people to explain he is a medical priority customer. But waiting for five or six hours as currently predicted is not good at all.

Any chance of grabbing a generator locally? Any generous farmers around?

Great sheets of wrinkly tin currently stripping of a barn right near the office.
Unnerving to say the least.
