Exactly the same thing here in Hessle. Just a flash through the curtains which I ignored until I saw this thread... Strange that it was so widespread, people seeing it in Beverley, Willerby, Hessle, Avenues, etc.
Saw it on the way home from work as I was in the ganstead to leven road around 1850. Like most people my response was '**** me!'. It was shortly followed by me driving through Banstead from holdnerness rd to come across 4x4 cop car on verge parked up, 1 car on the verge facing the wrong way with its front end smashed in and 2 big recovery vehicles trying to pull a double decker bus out of someone's front garden on the wrong side of the road having, it would appear, skidded off the road and smashed through the hedge. That evoked a 'fuuuuuucking ell' response! Quite an eventful journey home tonight!
Sounds very similar to something I experienced a few winters ago round this side of the Pennines. Was just outside my workplace with a couple of colleagues during a freak hail/snowstorm when a bolt of lightning hit our car park just a few yards from us. Weird because there was no warning at all - no lightning or thunder before or after that solitary bolt. It was so bloody loud though and scared the living **** out of us!! Don't think I've ever sprinted as fast as I did for those few seconds after.
Why was every ****ed scared ? It was quite sureel and interesting in the pub, some of em got talking about a fc game in 96 or something when they last saw it happen, man up pansies
You all sure it was thunder only the same thing happened here in Nottingham months ago and on the news later on they said it was a sonic boom from a jet?
I feel left out as well. **** all happening in Ferriby of the North. I keep looking out of my living room window regularly to see if one of my neighbours dog is about to **** on my lawn again and have seen bollock all. I swear I will smear dog faeces all over their windows with my ****ing bare hands if that bastarding dog dumps on my lawn one more time. Any left will be posted through the letter box. The snow will definitely assist in the sighting of any dumpage should I not be on watch when that ****ing mutt is doing it's ablutions. I will not be defeated, it's not in my nature. I hope the arsehole of a dog gets struck by this mysterious lightening that you all speak of. That'd learn it!!!!
There was flashes of lightning before the rumbles, defiantly storm Craig, I missed the first flash and thought someone was moving furniture until another flash come and somebody else mentioned it
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. When I lived in Beverley, some lads pulled up alongside my car, smashed the back window with a breeze block and nicked the Blaupunkt speakers of the back parcel shelf. I had a new window fitted, along with a new pair of Blaupunkt speakers, but two days later, they came back and did it again(glass was free, but the speakers were £140 a pair). I spent every night for the next two weeks staring out my lounge window with a baseball bat, waiting for the ****ers to come back. Eventually they did and though I missed them with the bat, they never came back. I'd still like to set another trap for those ****s(to be fair, it was 18 years ago, they've probably moved on now). But what the hell, save me some of that dog ****e CG, just in case.
Consider it saved. Next time I see you at a game I'll slip a package of dog manure into your parka pocket, free of charge. Be funny if any Old Bill saw the exchange and search you mind. You could tell them it was just some good **** and when they end up smeared in faeces it would be their fault for not believing you. It would be the whimsical jape of the season.
