Rain yes, wind no. I can't stand wind noise. In '87 during the "big storm", the garden fence came through the glass panel of the front door and just missed my mother. After that I was always very nervous when we had a heavy wind and couldn't sleep - I still wear ear plugs at night, when it is very windy. It is funny, I love a good storm on the coast, when I am outside, but being in a house when it is windy is not fun.


I don't mind the wind when I'm inside, but outside I'd sooner it was pouring down instead of windy. It just brings out something primal :? :lol: :?

Totally with you on that, especially when it brings that incredible sense of refreshing after seriously muggy weather. It wasn't a thunderstorm, but we had some lovely rain here yesterday. Today it's just drizzle though :(

In all honesty I'm slightly disturbed by how nice that sounds and how calm and mellow it makes me feel.

In Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, they have a marshmallow machine. Does that make the,, or just store them? If it makes them, then it's a form of replicator. They don't seem to have little replicators in Star Trek, and in the TNG years. Where would it get the raw materials to make them? If it's a dispenser, then it seems to have the capacity to only store two, three at a push. The rest of the bulk seems to be a large mechanised Pez type dispenser.

And WHY would you make a marsh mallow machine anyway? Have they become that lazy already? Cou,don't they have got a bag of them at the space port?

More to the point, why would you watch Star Trek V.

As Raj (Big Bang Theory) put it, "Star Trek V is the standard against which all badness is measured."

Ordered my record player last night for the kitchen/dining room, I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow rather than the predicted Monday so fingers crossed. Off into the old town tomorrow to record hunt.

The Mister and I had our first go on motorbikes on Saturday. We both really enjoyed it so we've booked our CBT for the 12th Sept :lol:

Steeplephone something, not expensive just something to play music in the kitchen while we cook :)
