Off Topic The SIR Kenny Dalglish Public House

Saw on news reckon will head up towards north/South Carolina in next few days. Should die down a bit by time it reaches you shouldn't it?

 

Regarding Haiti, they were apparently expecting 1 metre (yep,1 metre) of rain in a 24/48 hour period

That's about 9 months worth for them, usually. Hope they are coping ok, some seriously poor people over there

 

Hopefully.

We will get lots of rain here and storms in the centre of the state but the coastal areas like Charleston are going to be hit by class 2 hurricane winds.

We had our record "once in a thousand year" flood exactly one year ago this week. Several dams broke here in the Midlands during those storms. We still have bridges and roads closed from those storms. Flooding is the concern here.

They are evacuating people living 100 miles from the coast. We're slightly more inland than that fortunately.

 

Fingers crossed for you and others over there

 

Still recovering from the earthquake over there as well

 

Thank you. I personally should be ok. I'm on high ground that can't flood. I'm also one of a small % of people in this state with a brick house (the vast majority are vinyl on wood here).

The worst I can expect is power cuts and an extra 40 mins on my commute if the bridge is out of order again.

 

Stay safe.

 

I was saying to a mate earlier - we whinge about the weather all the time here, but at least we don't have to worry about our houses getting demolished every few years.

 

It's quite cold today.

 

Shocking isn't it?

 

But gets boiling in afternoon.. so do you bring a coat knowing have to carry it in afternoon or not and just deal with chill first thing?

No you're just old today.

 

I'm always old. Have you got any spare room in your gaff in Laaarndan? My youngest is after somewhere to stay.

Brave..

 

In all seriousness. I wouldn't know how I'd approach the Mrs with that one.

 

Would you be happy for her to stay at a young professionals like me .

In all seriousness, is this a long term thing or just a short term thing i.e. visiting or she getting a job here

 

She's having a year out before returning to do an MA. Understandably, she wants to get out of her mother's house. On her travels, she met a bloke (looks like Joe Allen) who became a 'friend'. He lives in Peckham with his brother and sister-in-law. He suggested she move in there and get a job (which she has). Last weekend, it became clear that the bloke wanted to be more than just a 'friend', which my daughter doesn't want. He said she'd have to move out.

She's not been there long enough to have built up a network of friends, so she's moving in with my best mate down there today, but only on a short-term basis. He's lived on his own for about 20 years and is comfortable that way. She will hopefully find somewhere through networking with the new people she's working with, but it may take a while.

 

Messier to just go online and find something with someone random isn't it?

 

It's all about house sharing in London. Tell her to take some time to visit places and get a gauge on the potential new housemates. Sometimes it's better to choose people over the quality of the building you're going to live in. It's the best way to make friends here.
