    Folks, the Prom may not be the safest place in this weather. I saw large chunks of it torn out after Hurricane Debbie in 1961.

    Great idea.
    Dr. Colohan Road is flooded and it is windy enough to move cars from side to side. Plus there is high tide due soon.

    My wheelie bin just left on its holidays. If anyone from Mayo is reading this and sees it flying over their house, can you let me know?

    Yeah sure they will.

    That is if, "can you let me know?", means: move it to it, and start living in it.

    They do that alright.

    I've just finished chaining the hanging sign at work to the wall; it was flapping like a really flappy thing.

    Walking back from lunch today a massive sign blew off a pole in the square. would have squashed anyone walking near it.

    Michael Crowe nearly hit our car today but thankfully hit a neighbour's window instead. *evil laugh*
    Seriously though, watch out for them. All of Derek Nolan's ones in particular seem to have come down.

    All Crowe's loose posters are being picked up by volunteers as we speak i'm informed. I say the work shy labour crowd will leave theirs lying around the place for weeks, similar to how they were slow taking down posters after the locals. lazy feckers.

    I have a heavy car and could really feel the wind shake it today.
    That doesn't happen often.

    God is telling us that she is NOT pleased with the way political signs have defaced our towns. She tried asking ye nicely to remove the, but no one was listening. So this is her revenge. :D

    Nolans posters are dropping at a huge rate. Any chance that the wind is getting a bit of "help"???

    Huge amounts of rubbish around the place this morning.

    You know the way you can be fined if you dump your rubbish and there is something with your name on it in it? Can the same be done for the political posters; I'm sure the candidates/parties would make sure they were picked up quickly if they were threathened with that.

    Due to your username I'm imagining that post was sent in from a mobile as you fly around Mayo trying to intercept your wheelie bin.
