Oh christ, posh boy is involved
LOL- anyone left homeless is on their own so.
Information packs include how to ensure quinoa and kale are available in your local morkesh and emergency out of hours offies with prosecco – or cava at a push.
Anyone beyond Dublin’s south side is focked.
Is that the American name of the storm or the Irish name?
Storms don’t get renamed.
Not always exactly true. In the Pacific, storms can have a couple of names. Not exactly renaming, but being assigned more than 1 name by the different authorities.
For example, Typhoon Haiyan that hit the Philippines in 2013 was so named by the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre, but was named Super-Typhoon Yolanda by the Philippines authority PAGASA. Caused a lot of confusion for a while.
Eoghan sounds like good name eh?
I think we should make a point of using Irish names the Brits can’t pronounce: Aodh, Blathnaid, Caolaoinn, Dearbhaile, Eabha, Feidhlim, Granuaile, Iarthliath, Lugh, Medb, Naoise, Orflaith, Prionsias, Ruaidrí, Sadhbh, Tiernan,
No- definitely Eoghan.
RTE reports: Eoghan swept in and blew a lot of hot air over a cold landscape and then- 10% of the nation were homeless.
Sounds about right.
Since the water within it is constantly changing it’s a case of Triggers brush
They just get even!
I wonder how Murphy is going to get this wrong?
Will he be playing the role of Theresa Mannion?
It’ll end up being 10000 storms in quick succession
Has he got a hot chip in his mouth?
Bet it’s not from Mangan’s in Wexford
Their chips wouldn’t be seen dead in his mouth
Has Met Éireann got any bloody forecasts correct over the summer?
Not that I am aware of. They normally do weather, not massacres
Zing!
Unfortunately, between the clothing allowance for the wee stumpy one with no dress sense and media training for the one above and training in how to smile for Gerry Murphy, alas, Met Eireann didn’t have any budget left to pay the satellite companies for imaging so no, they can get the next couple of hours right, based on local measurements but they’re useless with big weather events.
Hope you’re not referring to Jean The Dominatrix Byrne here?
You’re such a petty, personal-remark-making bottomhole
You really are a dribbling smugfunt aren’t you Eoin?
Critique met éireann all you want dav but wise up on the personal insults.
It’s not just the wind and the potential for trees to be knocked over, our water tables are completely full. If the volume of rain which reputable forecasters are saying will fall between tomorrow and Sunday materialises, we’ll have unbelievable widespread flooding.
Time to batten down the hatches and stock up on the Three Bs: Bread, Booze and Bogroll!
Wait.. what…?
You mean to tell us the #ClimateStrike didn’t work?
Be the hookey…
It’s probably registered as a charity
