New - The things that really annoy you

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Y'all don't get thunderstorms very often, do you? Genuinely don't know but always imagine the British Isles getting more drizzle than anything.

We dont. Maybe two or three times per year.
Tonight's thunder was epic though. Sounded like metal barrels being thrown about by the Gods!

Turns out by general concensus and a lot of whispering, it was dynamite.
Many years ago when all the ceramic mines were still open, the lads used to nick a few sticks of dynamite, and use them for fishing.
Tootle out to sea, light blue touchpaper, sling it away from boat, mop up the deaf, stunned fish.
It stopped when the village butcher held on to a stick too long and lost his arm from above the elbow down.
Fuzz got involved, forced to of course, and it stopped.
Hi honey they"re hooooome.

There's in the region of 300k lightning strikes per annum in UK and Ireland.

Construction companies not giving neighborhood notice when they blow up a fucking building.

Like, three blocks down from me. Gave me a fucking heart attack and a half. Christ. At least a worker was out by my building and could let us know what was going on but holy shit.

What you need is a Fred Dibnah with a horn.

This is how we topple things here in the UK. They don't make them like him anymore.

Him laddering a chimney, putting up scaffolding on a chimney, and climbing a chimney overhang on YouTube is mental, almost as mental as John Noakes climbing Nelson’s column for a kids tv show

You wouldnt class them as thunderstorms though. In my mind, a thunderstorm is when there is more than one thunderclap and one lightning strike and it goes on for a few mins.
Feels like we only experience that a few times per year

 

[leedswolf]

Thunderstorms may occur in any part of the UK and in any month although southeast England and the summer half year, especially the months of May to August inclusive, give rise to the highest incidence of thunderstorms and resulting lightning strikes.

Reag his biography a while ago, definitely a strange but interesting character. Didn't like blowing chimneys up unless he had to, preferred to knock em down from the top with a sledgehammer, he thought it was disrespectful to just take em down with explosives after someone had built them one brick st a time.

His documentary is on iPlayer. It’s decent watch.

We used to live in a little village in Derbyshire (Buxworth) and once a year the local pub down at the end of the canal held a steam weekend and loads of steam traction engines turned up. One Sunday morning this unreal noise outside as Fred Dibnah came rumbling past with that unmistakeable smell of steam and smoke drifting in the window, and there he was delivering milk to the houses. (with a big fucking line of cars stuck behind him!) The Drummer was about 6 or 7 at the time!

Next door neighbour trying to ruin my good mood with a Lionel Ritchie music session.

 

[BillyDee]

What's the problem, is it too quiet?

 

[darlowolf64]

Is he making too much noise dancing on the ceiling?

Hopefully, I truly hope it doesn't continue all night long.

 

[Keef]

If he owns a Muslim butchers shop, he’ll be round asking halal, is it meat you’re looking for?

 

[The Bear]

Hopefully, I truly hope it doesn't continue all night long.

If he does it'll be far from easy like Sunday morning.

 

[Jack Regan]

Mike and the Mechanics now, bring back fucking Lionel.

Over My Shoulder is a great tune.

It’s fucking wank
