Definitely drafty up here. If it wasn't for the rain we would have to use two pegs to hang the washing out today.

These threads don't get any funnier each time they're created, it must be said.

The media-lead mithering over what is a typical if more vigorous than usual equinoctial storm doesn't get any less tedious either. Storms happen every bloody year and every bloody year the media go on about it like it's the end of bloody days. No doubt it'll be blamed on global warming as well for good measure. If we're really unlucky the media will now segue seemlessly into mithering about 'OMG Snowmageddon!!!' or how snow is going to be a thing of the past, just like they do every year.

Last year people made similar remarks about the St Jude storm, a few months later after getting battered and flooded week after week it wasn't quite so funny anymore.

Isis, Ebola and now a hurricane.

I can't take it anymore.

You forgot to add UKIP, global warming, global cooling, climate change, diesel cars etc to the list

Sounds like a Billy Joel song.

But in the shadow of real problems, it was still nothing, benign. (Sure a very few people died, individual tragedies etc., but people die from accidents all the time, and the death rate didn't rise as a result of the wind and rain last Winter.) The press overreacted massively to what was just a soggy old Winter.

Whilst that'd be a good one to change the words to whilst serenading your loved one, I was thinking more 'We Didn't Start the Fire'
