Watching this hurricane hit Jamaica. Bloody hell the weather can be brutal at times.

I have been to Jamaica and I absolutely love the place. Really special atmosphere and people. I hope so much the damage is limited for that beautiful place and people.
I’m here now, mate. I turned down my evacuation notice and I’ve stayed behind. The place has been completely flattened from west to centre. I went along to Ocho Rios yesterday to get some signal and it’s fine here, barely a leaf blown off the trees.

Everything has been levelled where I’m staying and things are already getting desperate. All the meat and fish supplies have now been chucked because there’s no power to keep any appliances on. There’s no running water. The crops have been wiped out. No signal for communication. They’ll need to start getting aid into these areas because I think we are days from people turning to robbing and looting.
 
Firestick's started deleting and blocking apps without warning (eg CinemaHD), bloody annoying. Fortunately the one i use for iptv is still there but it's probably just a matter of time, time to start looking at other android boxes.
 
I have a work's away day at St Mary's stadium on the 4th of December

Big incident at the Durham Road/Prospect junction, roads in a couple of directions closed, air ambulance involved. From the crash helmet 20 yards further down Durham Road I'm guessing a teen on a motorbike or ebike involved. Not for the first time there.

I didn’t watch it, early to bed for me. The wife watched it though and reckoned we acquitted ourselves well as a region. Anyone know the venue it took place in?

Came into the Engine Room after the show last night, a thoroughly pleasant lady. Took time to speak with folk and have photos taken etc. This may sound daft but she looks exactly as she does in real life as she does on tv. Massive car waiting outside for her also.
