The Weather Thread ...

Ooo well jealous. We've only had one during all this hot weather and that was mainly a few hours of flashes, very little thunder really.

I live on the coast, so dunno if that makes a difference thunderwise. Being on the coast, we normally get a decent breeze on and off during hot periods tho, so that's a bonus.
 
Fingers crossed it's heading your way and doesn't piss itself dry before it gets there.

Got a bunch of parakeets inthe tree just outside my window, too. =D
 
Big old thunderstorm here too, although I think it's pissed off now. To be honest it doesn't seem to have reduced the humidity THAT much.

Oh it's so much cooler today = Lovely <3

Plus, there have been reports of more Lenticular clouds this year. I've seen a few trying to form, some have formed, but non of them have had the majesty, beauty and other-worldly look of the one that passed over us probably around this time last year:

I'd never even heard about them until this passed over us. And jeeeebuzz it was absolutely magical, I felt like a little kid seeing snow for the first time :)

sounds like you live in Laos or something with parakeets, so it'll probably wear itself out before it gets to me ;p

Are these parakeets in London? I think I've heard stories about them before.

D'you see em too jan?

Yeah, I see em and I hear em all the time. I think they started out in Ealing in the 1950s. Parakeets were popular pets but enough escaped to form a breeding population there, and they've expanded massively in the last decade. I see them all the time here since about five years ago. We don't have great shimmering hordes of them like they do in Ealing but it's not unusual to see ten or so in a group. They're extremely noisy, rowdy birds, and I'm sure they're not doing our indigenous chums any use.

Get The Gun!
 
OK, looks like I was wrong-ish about the origins of the parakeets (not that it's very clear here anyway although there are some ace urban legends attached):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_parakeets

But by way of retaliation they are completely wrong about both numbers and locations. I reckon there are way, way more than 50,000 of them and they're all over the place.

I was thinking of setting border control on them actually :D

Also, my gun's range is about 30ft and has trouble breaking the surface of water fired directly down into it.

Smug twat warning!!

Acshually (sic) ya'know, the air/water interface is notoriously effective at significantly attenuating a bullets' velocity - even with high velocity firearms.. :p
 
OK then, ballistics boffin... In field tests it just goes into (but not through the other side of) an empty coke can at a range of 4-5 feet.
 
Had this air rifle minus the chequered handle thing

Having the pistol in one hand and phone filming in the other was fun walking around like an fps :D got through gas cannisters very quickly though

OK, I'm not having a war with you then. My .22 was made in the 1940s and its spring is not what it once was.
