The big storm.

Guest

Following advice from the met office myself and the family went over the whole house and outbuildings battening down hatches - I am never sure where these are located but I do make sure the recycling containers are in the shed- we have also stocked up on several hundred litres of bottled water and a few tons of tinned goods. We have made a shelter behind the settee and turned the electric off, does anybody know what time the storm will be here? It's quiet, too quiet.

Tried to play earlier but started to piss down after one hole so mission aborted and off to the pub for a nice bit of roast chicken.Last round of the BMW should be good today,definitely be tuning in to catch a bit of that.Which course are you playing tomorrow?

Spent lunch time at the riser in Gunny, very nice, luckily we managed to avoid the fallen trees, floods that were no doubt hampering motorists all over the region.

No storm outside can outrival the hangover brewing within my deathly core.

8.12?? Is that the most precise time ever for a tee off?

Is that all. We have much stronger wind in my part of the world! Got feck all to do with the weather and everything to do with the wife's cooking! Very Happy

She's now gone for a bath and then bed to get away from me! Razz

No. Tee times are 8 minutes apart.

You don't play golf.

Obviously.

Got caught in one or two 5 minute cloudbursts, and the wind really started to blow from about 11 o'clock, but that's pretty standard for Boringdon. Along with Staddon, Boringdon is probably the most exposed to the elements of all the reasonably local courses.

Played well too. For a bloody change!

It's careless people like you Czarks that put your own lives, not to mention the lives of the emergency services at risk, by venturing forth in such hazardous conditions, thankfully, against the odds you have come through in one piece. Very Happy

I was on a ferry from Brixham to Torquay yesterday affraid

Have you ever ventured up into the Arctic Circle Seadog? Now when it blows up there you can call it a blow. Like a mirror some of the time but wait 5 minutes and it's like an Alton Towers super ride. The little fishing boats just do what little fishing boats do and carry on fishing like nothings happening. Respect to them for my Cod and chips.
