... Have I missed something? I think her music is great. Did they start an Amy MacDonald bashing since beiber isn't enough anymore?
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluebeat,
And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.
I'da called you Woody, Joe

No. I think she's okay and a safe option. The next thing up from Bieber is a dog's turd.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Thank God it's not Beiber, my deepest fears have been allayed.

I went outside for a walk, and got a bit wet, and it was rather windy, so I guess yes.

Just the media building it up, and the Met Office overreacting again - so they can't be called to task over it like Fish was in the '87 one. Now that was a storm (for Britain, anyway). I made a small fortune while the electricity was out for a week (playing three card brag against the landlord of my local hostilery1).

I agree (media blowing it up ) mind you I slept through the one in the eighties, I'm in Surrey and apart from the odd tree down its all a bit disappointing - where's the fire and brimstone ?

I just went for a stroll and saw precisely ten trees down -- two of which have fallen on houses, and two on cars, in less than 1km (I'd had enough by the time I'd gone about 400m).
Not a good day for a cycling race.

In the Three Bridges area where we live in Crawley there have been a number of leaves blown about and around the station a few puddles forced traffic to drive around them; a squirrel was bitching about a bad hair day. That's about as frightening as it gets.
Our council, gaw'd bless 'em, decided it was was too dangerous to send the refuse trucks out this morning. Funny thing is, the traffic wardens (Ticketing Machines) were seen doing the rounds. Funny that, eh?

Talk about overreacting - I've ridden motorbikes in MUCH worse weather than this, can't believe my train operator is not running any trains until at least 9.00am - so that means 11.00am its not even raining for f***s sake !!!

So have I - this is pretty trivial from what I can see on TV. (We had a load of rain, but no wind to speak of at all - most of the leaves are still on the damn trees)
It's raining here though - which means the cat has just come in soaking wet to be dried (and if I don't do it well enough he slaps my feet until he is satisfied). Then he went straight back out in it...

No, he's a small black and white neutered male. And he rules the house with a iron paw!
In his mind, anyhow. If he developed an opposable thumb I'd be worried, but...

Isn't that so they can find out all the blockages on the tracks and clear them?
Call me old mr cautious if you like, but I think it is probably best to send the special trains down all the lines to find the trees on them rather than just hurtling trains full of commuters everywhere and then just responding each one of them derails.

Here's a good one from this morning, a pool of water a metre deep completely covering the road directly outside Anglian Water's head office, because the drains have failed... iiiiiiiiiironyyyyyyy.
The worst part? The idiots trying to drive through it.

Funny enough on the other side of said road is the Cambridgeshire Police HQ, completely covering their only way in/out...

I like how they just get out of the transporter and start pushing like nothing special happened. I guess in my whereabouts they would get off and be standing around wondering what they should do

Two years ago, Scotland was being battered by 110MPH winds and the news reported that London was being battered by 40MPH winds. Not a mention of Scotland. The only reason this "storm" is being hyped up is because it's hitting the homes of the news presenters.

And mine - it was so bad earlier I had to turn my wipers on.

Your house has wipers? Lazy divil. Get out there and clean those windows yourself.
