Britain braced for storm battering

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

too much beowulf maybe?

God yeah, you're right.

!@#$%! · 03.09.2008, 03:44 PM

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

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

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.
