The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
So, I was evacuated from my office this morning because another tree was very unsafe and it was looking like it might fall in through my office window because the ground was so soggy (see pictures of leaning tree from inside and outside my office window).
I was told to exit from my office as quickly as possible. I managed to grab a few things to use at another desk and then they cordoned off my office so I couldn't go back in.
Unfortunately I needed my scientific calculator and forgot to take mine with me and so wanted to borrow one from a colleague to do my important and complicated calculations! So there I am in an office of chemists and physicists and 'nuclear' experts, and the best that anybody could come up with for me is this piece of tat that hasn't even got a brackets button... sheeshhh ! (I decided to use excel instead!)
I guess the logic behind this is that you stand a better chance of seeing falling trees etc if its not dark, but it did seem a bit 'stay away from the moors' if you get my drift.
Anyway, you'll all be glad to know I managed to get home safe, by about 4.45, avoiding plenty of falling trees becasue it was still daylight.
I wasn't sent home early. I feel left out. Anyway, my wind related story is as follows:
When I got to work yesterday, I noted a tree that had apparently fallen on top of a parked 4wd vehicle. On closer inspection, I discovered that the tree had fallen around the vehicle - with branches on all sides, but not a scratch on the vehicle at all! That was one lucky escape! I was gonna take a photo, but it was too dark and the camera on my phone is rubbish anyway.

That there calculator is rubbish.

see jdk.. this is why they told you to get home before it was dark!
It's certainly possible, however there were lots of other spaces around - it would be a little odd to park up against a fallen tree in those circumstances. I don't think there was enough room on the driver's side to open the door.
