Rainfall in Newcastlegreenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
Since we've been relaying the pitch this week, what sort of weather have you had up there? What effect does heavy rainfall have on recently layed turf? Any groundsmen out there?

Absolutely P@ssing down.

Windy ;-)) If the weather's anything like it is up here in north Northumberland, whatever they've laid will probably have ended up on South Shields beach by now.

It's a mite breezy, all the way from Tynedale to Durham. Thought I saw a small dog and a house from Kansas sweep by earlier.

There's a long cobbled driveway appeared near my house this morning. Funny yellow cobbles too. Wonder where it goes?

There was a disconcerting rattle from the skylight in the common room here. All the more disconcerting given I was sat right under it!

On a serious note, watch yourselves up there. There are accidents being reported all over the area.

Found my brain and decided to use it. Only phone in the hoose was cordless, which is useless in a power cut. Drove to Alnwick to buy a new one but had to move 2 stonking big branches off the drive before I could get oot. Two roads blocked by fallen trees and a lorry on its side on the A697. More evidence of vehicles blown off the road. No sign of MacBeth. I think he must be in Holland by now.PS. Cancel that invitation for drinks Pilgrim ;-)

We've lost two glass windows in the shed and a perspex sheet out of the other shed. The TV aerial on the roof has collapsed and is dangling dangerously from it's cable, and I nearly got blown away walking across the field at lunchtime. Bastard wind.

Now don't be like that strawman. I'd keep this going but I haven't got the nerve!

we're in the midst of a new set of houses and one looks very close to losing its chimneythe main dual carraigeway into Dunfermline is closed, as I predicted to my wife this morning. They are building a new big office at a business park on the brow of the hill, nothing of comparable height between here and Stirling so a nice 20 mile straight stretch for the wind to get going in, the new building had all the metal work for the roof carefully placed on its frame and spent the day having it converted into missiles.
Not nice to be out
