    The wife’s car, think it will polish out.
    She reversed into the tree didnt she?
    Thankfully when I used it yesterday, I parked it on the drive, she went out and then when she returned parked in the road.  I bought it a few years ago as a birthday present.

    If you do decide to travel then we cant guarantee that youll be able to complete your journey and replacement transport may not be availableTo make things easier for you if youve already bought your ticket for Friday you can use it today or on Saturday at no extra cost or you can apply for a refund As a safety precaution Network Rail have put a 50mph speed restriction in place and we have already had to cancel a number of trainsDue to the probability of trees and debris being blown on to the tracks there are likely to be further cancellations delays and disruption on the day For more information please visit the Southeastern website and for live updates follow StormEunice on Twitter

    I see Man City's plane had to abort its landing and divert to Liverpool. Looked like the plane was practically hovering above the ground, would of shit myself.

    The red warning is really just for the west coast of Devon & Cornwall as well as bit of the Bristol channel. Rest of the South of England it's a yellow warning. 

    I'm off to see a client tomorrow in Essex. I should be ok but thinking the Dartford Bridge might be shut so will be delays getting back into Kent if I have to use the Tunnel instead.

    I'm having the roof re-tiled and there are no tiles on at the moment, smashing.
    Well at least they can't blow off I suppose.
    The advice is to stay at home, but I need to collect the wife from hospital and then I'm seeing The Kooks.

    As Golfie says the Red Warning and advice to stay at home and not travel is for the West Country and Wales, for the rest of us the warning is Yellow.

    Never realised the kooks were still going. Saw them at t.wells forum 2005/6 just before their debut hit the charts.

    Girlfriend flew out of Manchester to Portugal today. She described the takeoff as 'horrendous' - fuck knows what the landing would have been like if she'd been coming home instead :open_mouth:

    The warning for most of England is an amber warning, not yellow, so significantly more dangerous than yellow.

    It is a red warning for us here on the beautiful Costa del Cardiff as well.

    Crazy to think how common landings are like that around the world, still blows my mind how something that heavy can be so skilfully and safely manoeuvred.

    Pilots generally like a bit of wind, after all air flowing over the wings is what keeps them in the air. Fog on the other hand, especially at night can be a bit bum clenching.

    That's no way to refer to the in-laws.

    I've told my wife she'll have to go in the loft and hold the roof down.

    There could also be warning of high winds around 5pm on Saturday as another storm rushes along the south coast. This is what causing the problem for 5pm Saturday, but it’s to early yet to say definitely will be a problem or not.
