Sat here in the sun finding reasons not to head north to the UK and,whilst checking the English weather forecast,I see some numpty has had the bright idea of giving storms English names
Now. Don't call me a racialist but. When it comes to storm M******** wouldn't it be fun to call it Mohammod
Were driving back via France this year esp as the diesel is so cheap and the ferries havnt cut fares.Last years horrific crossing in the Bay of Biscay has also coloured my opinion somewhat..Having spent a fortune to have our dogs with us in a dog friendly cabin I spent the whole crossing being sick and the hubby spent most of the time trying to stop the dogs eating my vomit. So its a nice steady tittle up the coast this year but not till it gets warmer.I be skyped a few staff who have worked the winter and its been awful it seems..real end of the world weather
Anyway to those who know me..I'm back soon and yes the polo shirts are a little tight on me but they will soon loosen !

Why not call it Storm Jesus? Just as many people have been killed by as many lunatics in his name as Mohammed, (other prophets are available!) And in exactly the same way. No religion can claim the moral high ground on killing and mayhem.

I think storm bob would be appropriate given the number of replies to the new pay thread!

Yes youngsterashsa you have a point really As a woman of advanced years I've grown tired of old men with beards telling me what to do and what is right...this is especially true when they claim their opinions are a "religion"and therefore need special respect
Back to the storm naming..we already use the names of friends and relatives ofJESUS to name things (Mary,peter,john,Joe). So how about we ease It in with Fatima,Ali etc? And storm Prince Siddatha would be cracking!

I see 1970's casual racism and sexism is alive and licking on this vile little forum.

We had that lovely hot summer,blue peter and Morecambe & Wise on the box and to finish off the decade we elected a woman PM.
Oh and clubs like CCC,cc,RAC,AA were run as clubs not the corporate shisters they have become today

Well that was easy( maybe because I didn't drive). A slow tootle up the coast of France ,one night on a free aire behind the big supermarket in Calais..fill up with booze and fags and of to the ferry. Didn't see many illegal immigrants on the way as it was early and I suppose they were still in bed! Checked on top and under though before customs as it would be a bit of a show-up if the customs fellas found one clinging somewhere. God its cold and wet Going to have to dig out the wellies,the sites going to be a paddy field
