There ya have it…. Did you know the Dubs are king wimps when it comes to weather moaning…. always moanin’ about rain yet they get nothing like the bad weather the rest of the country gets.
Makes me laugh heartily, hearing those big soft pansified Jackeens moanin’.

i had two spots on my ark for culchies, but not now.
You bloody muck savages. Just because we dubs live a sheltered life with walls and roofs and heating sources and have no bad weather survival skills….. wait……I’m only proving your point. *hangs head*

Sure god love them, even the best culchie disco is in Dublin.

Culchies eh, sure you can’t help feeling sorry for them.
They do seem to get better weather all right.. the whest gets the battering first from the Atlantic I think.
As well as being a bunch of whingers about the weather, do you think they live up to the rep of being ruder than the culchies too Clampers? They’re just not as nice really are they?
Break out the canoes, we’re on Desmond already. We’ll have run out of Storm names by the end of January I fear. I vote we should just start naming them after animals them. Storm Weasel should be a laugh.
Zarathustra
I heard a climatologist on the Pat Kenny show ages ago and he said that civilians don’t take storm warnings [as] seriously when they are given female names, and he cited Hurricane Katrina as an example; apparently there wouldn’t have been such a huge loss of life if it had been given a male name because people wouldn’t have tried to sit it out.

Yeah if this was called Storm Danielle I’d be out there dancing in the nip. But since they called it Storm Desmond, I’m huddling under the bad wrapped in a duvet with emergency rations.

@meadowlark: Gonna need you to break down these emergency rations. Mine are a bottle of bourbon, the collected Steely Dan and The Best Of Myles. Hatches? Battened down!

I’ll have Anna Friel and a Mel Brooks box set please.

@Bertie: and if Anna’s little redheaded mate from Brookie wants a spot, that’s good too.

I dunno Zarathustra, Hurricane Kevin sounds like an amiable sort.
He’ll ruffle your hair and that but he’ll also blow all the leaves out of your garden.
Can we use Klingon names?

Hurricane Sauron.

Ha!

No chance. Even storm Clodagh (Clo-da) gets phonetics on the list for our couins easht to understand. Someone had a bit of fun.
G is for Gertrude. T is for Tegan (is that even a name?)

Apparently they excluded names associated with silebs. No Elizabeth, Enda, Adele, Gay etc.
