The worst storm of the winter is on track to batter Britain, causing traffic chaos and coastal flooding, forecasters warned.

"britain braced -- battering"

"worst -- of winter"

"to batter britain"

"causing chaos -- coastal"

too much aliteration for me.

sounds like dr. seuss

God yeah, you're right.

!@#$%! 03.09.2008 03:44 PM

maybe it's an incantation meant to bring on the storm :eek:

Lurker 03.09.2008 03:47 PM

Maybe they think that if they scare people enough the rain god will be satisfied and not bring the storm. It has been sunny all day

gmku 03.09.2008 04:45 PM

Hey, leave our president alone! He rules the free world. I think that includes your part.

Yeah true. Some of the weather reports are weird here, some channels won't show the weather in Ireland though it's stupid not to, whereas on other channels you even sometimes see the weather for the edges of France, as well as Ireland. It's like somechannels are trying to spite Ireland.

i envy the brits. in my wonderworld it rains all day.

Lurker 03.09.2008 06:43 PM

Ha, I quite like rain too.

Toilet & Bowels 03.10.2008 03:20 AM

no trains this morning because the storm blew a tree on to the line = no work = awesomeness

Cantankerous 03.10.2008 03:26 AM

the reason i won't move to britain is due to the weather (and citizenship issues...i'm not giving up my US citizenship no way no how). and i wouldn't want to be in such close quarters with the welsh and madonna.

anyway this most certainly can be blamed on global warming. if i wanted to get really left-wing i would just blame it on the bush administration but it goes back a lot further than that if you really look into it.
