I hope you all can get back to your normal lives ASAP, although I know that many will not not be that lucky... :rose: DABBee wrote: Three people absolutely laughing their ass off at emergency reception got some strange looks I can tell you. I believe that's normal, even positive. You know, having a bit of fun in a situation like that surely helps keeping the morale up. Probably they should have avoided to laugh in public, but still I perfectly understand the need to get away from reality for a few moments. Here in Italy we have floods pretty much at any spring and autumn, pretty much everywhere in the Country. Large cities like Milan, Rome or Naples never get flooded though (I live in Milan). Our problem here is that these things keep happening every year, the problems is always the same: too much buildings near rivers or in areas with unstable ground. At least you don't have to blame your own politicians and administrations. If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother.

Somehow a link to an old Monty Python script doesn't quite work for me. Dinner reservations and a subtle promise of things to come are a far more effective message... Will Rogers never met me.

Thanks and we'll enjoy them for you :laugh:

I'm a fair bit further north but we have had one go right over the top of us some years ago, tracked like this and just follewed the north to us. Thing is, it's such a large system we we will have big winds and heavy rain,and I'm a baseball throw from the beach.

Ah, betternow. Yes I share and I care. Pop over to my place any time. Just finished cooking for the crew here and did not self immolate. Salmon cutlets with pepper fried in verging on the ridiculous oil, mushrooms and carrots in butter, fries ala American style. Just having dessert of mandarine and gooseberry. Time off from work - it's bliss. I guess the knack is to know how to relax without (totally) destroying yourself. Cheers, DB Twinkle: I had that... dream again.
