wind


How mad was that wind last night?!
Was it that bad down south?
Sound like elephants were playing fitba in my loft!

It was pretty windy, but nothing like you guys have been getting.


Funny story, though.  One of the guys in my team is in in the TA and spent the weekend on 'maneuvers' in the Breckon Beacons.  Apparently they don't take tens as they're too heavy to put in a rucksack, so what they do is tie a poncho to 2 bunjee cords between a couple of trees a foot or two above the gound and dig a hole underneath.


So the poor sod was patrolling in 90 mile an hour winds, driving rain (apparently he couldn't see more than an arm's length in front of him) and then sleeping in a soggy hole in the ground.  And then the girly sod called in sick the next day!


I, myself, was tucked up in my nice warm bed.

HAH!,

I know how that one goes, I used to be in the Marines Reserves and had to do the same thing (poncho, bungees and all) a week before christmas in snow just north of Dundee! Crackin'!

It can't be good.


Anyway.  He's got a bit of a 'glandular' thing now and he's taken the rest of the week off.


What a girl.
