Hurricane Ophelia

Current prediction from scholarly sources.

In case the cows get blown away.

Few NI weather broadcasters kicking off.

Still down on your average weekend but a lot for a Monday.

Why do they sell liquor in white bottles?...

Whoa, wait, a hurricane is actually going to hit the British Isles? This has to be the first time I've heard of it happening.

Maybe Ireland could come park itself over in one of our Great Lakes? I know you guys don't like us, but we think you're all pretty cool.

Blow Ireland over to Canada. We'll take those crazy bastards. Don't send them any further north, it is too damn cold.

Don't worry. We're sending over as many as we can. I'll see you when I have my degree.

I'd love this, I might move anyway. We'd be a bit close to that obnoxious neighbor of yours, but we could have each others back :)

Dublin's already further north than any of Canada's major population centres.

All the Irish people I've talked to would seem to prefer going east and bolting themselves to Poland. Because Catholicism.

What?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don't know a single Irish person who has moved to Poland, my generation have gone everywhere, but not to Poland.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Came in the context of talking about Polish immigrants in Belfast, the theory being this is good because they'll vote to secede from the UK.

The two of my garden walls collapsed one onto our air heating unit so we have no hot water or heating. A bit annoying but nothing terrible

2 dead last I saw. Woman crushed by tree on car, man killed in "chainsaw accident" trying to clear fallen tree... Not sure if that counts

Aye heard that later on, I think it counts though not sure how he managed it, basically said he was killed with his own saw.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

They said it happened when another tree fell down on top of him. There's 3 dead now apperently.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Well, a chainsaw is pretty much a fast-moving chain on a stick, so if it hits and catches on something that doesn't give, it might kick.
