Actually a very pleasant midsummer day in New Zealand. Half past nine on Saturday morning, birds are chirping, very slight cool breeze...... should be a nice day.

Been a bit windy today in the east mids. Was a mini blizzard yesterday too. Gonna go to the shop in a minute, I'll see if any wheelie bins have gone flying
Any sexy sheep?
Yeah, sheep jokes don't really work on me, sorry. To you guys I'm a Kiwi, but here IRL? I'm not considered a New Zealander. Legally, sure. But not socially. ?

Blew the roof off the millennium dome
What's a kiwi? I just assumed you shagged farm animals, I wasn't trying to discriminate.
Did you see the video of the bus that got hit?
No. Was it a nice bus?

Story time.
When I moved to the USA it was in October. In the November I moved to Yuma in Arizona for work. It was a cold winter. Then around January February the temperature started to build. And kept building. And building. It was roasting every fucken day and I wasn't used to it being from England. Then one day there was a monsoon. It was awesome. I'd not long had my 350z at the time so I went out driving in it, I was doing Tokyo drifts at 30mph. I stopped on a lane near some fields because I wanted to stand in the rain (this was the first rain I'd had in 6+ months) and while I was standing there like Andy dufresne my fucken hat was taken by a gust of wind and was getting away from me in the field. I managed to chase it down and has I was getting back to the car realized I'd just ran through a field in shorts during a monsoon and was caked in mud. Even better I'd left the car door open and the inside trim was fucken soaked.
I'll always remember it tho. First time it rained when I was in Arizona.
Storm ripped down power poles and everything, it was badass.

Storm Eunice: Highest ever winds of 122mph recorded in England
All but essential travel has been advised against as Storm Eunice hits the country.
The winds not so bad here. I was expecting worse. No rain either
I think the death figure is standing at 3 atm. One of the people who died was in Muswell Hill where I used to live In the 90s.

Got lucky on that one. Sqeaked it by a couple of decades.
4 if you count Ireland, which I don't.
But I think there's some unreported that will emerge.
Will probably be blamed on the new wind variety of covid
I was proved correct. Trains were my let down. They cucked pretty early and fucked me up.
There will be some made up safe operation limit for trains on the lines. With the speculated wind speed set to exceed that by a shitload there's no way someone is gonna sign off on letting them run.
Each driver would have to do an at point risk assessment to declaring themselves happy with safety before they took the train.
Wheras if they don't they will still be paid to do fuck all.
The limit was 50mph. It was trees being blown on the tracks that kyboshed my quest to London. Not speed of locomotives.
DLR was running.
If I was gonna guess I'd have said 50mph.
When I was on harriers they couldn't launch if the wind was above 25 as it could rip the canopy open when you opened it to get in.
Wind is a very dangerous thing in aviation, I have absolutely no idea how it affects trains but I knew that some cunt somewhere would have written a maximum operating limit. Probably got pointy ears.
And to be fair I've worked on the opposite side of the coin. I've had to write manuals and instructions where I have to pull numbers out my ass sometimes, it's based on judgement and guessing.
I don't know enough about the rail industry to know how much crosswinds etc could go toward derailing them.
Anne frankly I don't want to because trains are shit and the rail industry is boring.
