Severe weather warning for Northern UK

Special deal for you, 3.60 each time. But not if Clare's driving.

 

I might have to advertise, rather than just relying on his business.

 

It's only some Northerners.

 

It'll be repaired/replaced. Why be upset?

 

It is.

And nicer.

 

It's like the coast of Sumatra in Carlisle today!

 

Not even close I think you'll find.

 

Ben Blaney says...

Because it doesn't look nice.

 

If you've got a 30mph side wind and you're doing 30mph ground speed, then
the resultant wind vector - the wind you actually feel - is 45mph at 45deg.
Double your speed, still with a 30mph side wind, and you have a 70mph wind,
but hitting you at less than 30deg off the straight ahead. Go up to 90, and
you get a 95mph wind at only 20 deg. If the wind gusts up to, say, 45mph,
then at 90mph you get a 5mph increase in wind speed and maybe a 6deg change
in direction. If you caught that gust at 30mph, then your wind speed would
go from 45mph to nearly 55mph, and you'd also have an 11deg change in wind
direction to cope with.

If you want to play around with wind vectors, try this site:

If you need something portable to use while crossing the Severn - or
sheltering at Aust, waiting for the wind to drop - get one of these:

....and remember, /fast is safe/.

Heh. Last time I has a conversation about "real" and "apparent" wind, it
was on a 36 footer bobbing about in the oggin. It was ended by the guy
on the helm "venting" the previous night's curry with a cry of "Now
*that's* what you call apparent wind! Wahey!"

Hoyuss.

I think he means the one with the incredible croos-winds.

Following *anyone* was fairly likely to put you in a ditch.

I was on that one and I followed Andy. I have to admit it was somewhat
scary in the crosswind but we got there and had time for at least 3
fags before anyone caught up.

That was fun.

 

I thought you were going for a shag?

Criticism of your performance up there somewhere. Now I'm off to bed,
lets see how long a time lag between my posts eh? <g>

 

twas the one where Champ had the other challenge of being a rain god.
sods law says he was on the next ferry and had glorious sunshine all
the time in France.

I was happy sticking at 90 and they dissapeared into the distance. i
thought sod that and left them to it.

wasnt my thoughts.

During a huge system outage earlier last year I did 4 back to back 19.5
hour days over a bank holiday weekend. Somehow I found it almost
impossible to sleep between then..

My comment on day 3 was that it was like being drunk but without any
kind of hangover.
