Those are some great faces from one of our stable of celebrity meteorologists.
Bad case of Lorraine Keane syndrome.
If the advice is to do nothing and ride it out, I can see why Murphy was brought in.
laissez faire is the best fair, am I right?
Well Leo also said to stay high which I think is totes responsible advice from a doctor..
He also said to stay back, which has been consistent advice from the ruling class ever since CJH.
Always a good time for a song.

its fine. nothing is happening. the weather department are another arm of entertainment now. dramatising every gust of wind that comes our way. wheeling out useless ministers with rolled up sleeves to add to the drama.
Nothing is real, don’t look outside.
+1 @fartypants
it’s calm blue skies & sunshine in Stillorgan right now, was a bit of squally wind & rain earlier but nothing major
and I’m hearing first hand it’s grand out Galway direction
this is all a massively overhyped pile of my rear business
again
the current generation helicoptered & surveilled to within an inch of their lives, unable to hang shelves, cook properly for themselves, afraid of a bit of wind and rain
jesus wept
Not a flutter of a leaf where I am in Dublin 20.
All that stocking up of gin, tonic, lemons, limes, juniper berries for NOTHING!
Still, wouldn’t declare a ‘massively overhyped pile’ of your bottom until Saturday, in fairness.
ah G+T will never go to waste @Spag!
which gin and which tonic may I ask?
I buy the cheaper Gordons these days (2 x 70cl for €35 when SuperValu offer it), though I do upscale now and then to Dingle or Hendricks, the latter with cucumber. Elderflower tonic is gank, as is pink gin (sickly sweet). I like Fever Tree Mediterranean, or better still Grapefruit Tonic if I can get it. The berries like a little squeeze before sprinkling in four or five. When I lived in Africa, G+T was a necessary sundowner. I’m happy to re-apply its medicinal qualities to current climate…
my eldest one is doing the bar service now
keeps banging on about a bottle of stuff called Tanqueray
grapefruit tonic sounds the business, I’ll have to give that a go
last year we found some nice bar & steak place in Bilbao where we got ossified on the best G+T I’ve ever had, never touched it up to that point, can’t stay away from it now!
Tanqueray is a good gin. But any mixer masks the quality in my view. My rich and resourceful landlady of yore used to buy the Gordons and just infuse it with herbs from her garden. Aside from junipers you can add peppercorns and cardamon pods too. Macerating is when you plunge berries like sloes into it for a few months. Incredible spirit.
No Teresa Mannion, no storm.
It’s all fine don’t worry- posh boy has ordered Fallon & Byrne hampers for everyone left homeless.
shhh, don’t tell eoin. you know the way he gets upset about things like this..
Looks like she was already out in it
Evelyn Cusack on the path of the Storm in the lunchtime new reports – “The storm will go inland northwest of Mayo and Donegal”. I’m heading for Sligo, it’s never mention on Met Eireann, must be some sort of magic weather border that doesn’t affect them.
It’s gonna mostly impact the west coast counties, so what’s the panic nationally?
It’s fine lads- posh boy is on RTE next- stop necking the gin ‘n grapefruits- all is good- nobody will homeless.
Well- there is a lot of hot air but- enough of posh boy
