The General Conversation Thread

Hell's teeth, it was as recently as December 2013 that we had the last onslaught
But when mother nature is in the mood, there ain't no holding her back

 

Any Tempranillo / wine fans out there fancy having a bash at I.D'ing wines from tasting notes?

So, we have 'groups of spectators' gathering to watch the waves/tidal surge and who is going to rescue them if they get swept away???

Yes Cromer, I've had the 'odd' pint in there when walking in the area and it's pretty devastating.
In general though I think the area got off relatively lightly with the exception of the man who tragically lost his life at Thorpeness.

 

Agreed. But worrying how many chose to remain in their homes when strongly advised to evacuate to rescue centres, just to be safe. Plus, after the last, far worse surge tides in Dec 2013, I walked back from the Fishing Boat pub in E. Runton with a mate down the beach and the erosion was scary. Massive cliff falls, mainly sandy around here, so unstable anyway. Sadly, anyone walking too close or fossil-hunting, etc is asking for trouble - and that poor guy found some

 

Don't know if you've seen this Cromer - some pretty upsetting scenes - http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/environ...after_storm_surge_hit_north_norfolk_1_4849867

 

Norwich board room?

Bah!

 

Slam!!

 

It's quite mild out this morning!

I think I'll leave it out!

 

You want a proper Twat, General - well, here goes!

Definitely a proper twat!

Bah!

 

I'd to read the article twice to believe I hadn't misread it!!!!!

 

I can't remember where it was but there was a sign saying road closed 4 miles ahead, then another at 3 miles ahead, then 2 miles and 1 mile and finally there was a bridge that had completely collapsed with a sign saying, "Now do you believe us!"

 

Any Comedy/Podcast fans on here who like "The Parapod"??

Ian Boldsworth (Ray Peacock) doing a podcast on ghosts, mysteries, and conspiracies. With his mate (another stand up) who 100% believes in ghosts, and is gullible enough to believe in things like the Lock Ness, Bigfoot etc. It's by far my favorite podcast currently running. They just released a teaser trailer of a special I think.

Got me so excited. Episode 1 of Series 3 will be released free on itunes from Wednesday!!!

 

Kitten advise. Desperate please.

Tiggy is a little tw*t.

He now associates me with feeding him, letting him out of his room in the mornings, and clearing up his Sh*t. Apart from that, he moves away from me every time I'm near him. He's now doing the same to my gf.

Since I got home from work, hes avoided me. No matter what I do. I've taken his food bowl away. As that's all he gives me affection for. He now just hides.

No matter what I do, he hides, until his bowl is empty and he wants food, then he's all over me.

How do you break it, that I'm not just his food source, without just starving the little selfish Pr*ck?!

 

I read somewhere that whereas dogs have "owners", cats simply have "staff". Sounds like you're finding your position in the household.
