MickyD Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 BBC have received complaints that they have put journalists and camera men in danger by having them report from close to the sea wall at various spots around Britain. Next news item was a report from Syria where ISIS were being flushed out from their hide-outs amidst flying missiles, mortars and bullets. Nobody complains about the dangers faced by that journalist and camera man. I know where I'd rather be. Quote

Marc505 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Can you hear Beetham Tower singing away? Missed this sorry Franco, can hear it a bit in bad weather but nowhere near as bad as it once was. Used to wake me up! (Disclaimer. At home, not at my desk) Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Used to do some work round a fishing lake. They installed some metal railings and when the wind blew they would sing. From a distance it was mournful and a bit spooky until you realised what it was. Quote

From a distance it was mournful and a bit spooky until you realised what it was. Sounds like our metal chimney for our new fire, but we find that quite nice. Not a bad as our new plastic soffits. When it blows hard from the South they sound like a wailing banshee, I think its the air holes. Luckily we've only experienced that twice since they were installed last September. Quote

My window vents do that. Bloody weird when you're asleep and some sepulchral entity sounds like its coming in through the window. Quote
Winchester White Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Went up to winter hill mast today. That was a fucking stupid idea. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Went up to winter hill mast today. That was a fucking stupid idea. Did you get as close as possible to the mast, then put your head back and look at the top? Always feel like you're going to fall over. Quote
Winchester White Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Did you get as close as possible to the mast, then put your head back and look at the top? Always feel like you're going to fall over. Once we hit the road bit to the mast the weather came in and we were less than 50 yards away before we could even see it. Fucking horrible it was. On our way back down it cleared again, typical! Got a picture of a BWFC sticker with Pud on tour at the mast, that was nice. Quote

Pretty much every time I've walked up there, be sweating like fook and stop for food. Temp drops about 5 degrees and sweat goes cold - horrible. Seems to take ages to warm up again. Quote

frank_spencer Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Rather be looking up though than at the top looking down; leave that to Miami. The glass floor is fun up there. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 The glass floor is fun up there. I only need to see a footage from a plane showing a cliff or something. Even a drop from the side of the car- turns my stomach. Quote
bgoefc Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Severe weather warning from the Met office for snow over East Lancs and West Yorks today. So far only some sleet. Edited March 2, 2017 by bgoefc Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Clinging on this winter Cold today. My mums crocus have all been squished. Everywhere is absolutely pissed wet through. Puddles on new house farm fields developing their own aquatic ecosystem. Quote
