Title: OT: This wind! Post by: Trace on December 03, 2006, 03:41:37 PM I can't believe I'm about to admit this, but this wind is scaring the poop outta me, it seems to be coming in from a different direction than usual, and it is honestly scaring the feck out of me!
My house is making noises I aint ever heard before and I've lived here 11 sodding years. Anyone lucky enough not to have it? P.S. I dont mean wind of the farting/burping kind b4 any of you start!

Post by: madasahatstand on December 03, 2006, 03:55:57 PM its gusty up here too. a good way to look at wind like this is around blowing the cobwebs away. its natures way of giving the earth a good dusting :) sit back and enjoy it. if your house has stood for 11 years or more then you have nothing to worry about

You'll be ok Trace :) Title: Re: OT: This wind! Post by: I, Zimbra on December 03, 2006, 08:40:18 PM Couldn't sleep all last night. My bedroom happens to be right under the chimney, which people have been telling me for years needs to be replaced as it is in imminent danger of collapse.... :(
Title: Re: OT: This wind! Post by: RioRodent on December 04, 2006, 09:30:40 AM I used nearly £10 more diesel coming back from Newcastle yesterday (265 miles), than it took to get there on Friday... so I guess there was a fair bit of 'southerly' in it?
Title: Re: OT: This wind! Post by: Dingdell on December 04, 2006, 10:54:06 AM We were staying in Brighton - it was like sleeping in a wind tunnel - noise was dreadful and we heard all sorts of bangs and crashes outside - we were on the seafront. On the way home on Sunday we saw the fireworks factory explode in Lewes - massive bright light lit up the whole sky like a bomb - it was like this weekend was the end of the world. Very scary.
