YANBU to put the life of bri on (he's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy, I can just hear her/his squeaky voice )

YABU to not love thunderstorms, embrace the heart pounding.

We had a fantastic 24 hour one on hols a couple of years ago, it made the holiday

cheeseandmayo · 07/05/2011 01:05

Quite annoyed as we have had NO rain at all tonight.

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 07/05/2011 01:05

AgentZigzag · 07/05/2011 01:10

I used to love a glass or five of chilled cider on a warm summers eve, but it gives me the shits these days (don't care if it's TMI, I have to live with it )

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 07/05/2011 01:13

OP posts:

AgentZigzag · 07/05/2011 01:32

Greece midlandsmum, didn't stop me sleeping though

TMI - too much info.

I don't talk about medical stuff as a rule on MN, but I take it as a personal insult, especially from that former friend Merrydown

startail · 07/05/2011 01:33

UANBU, I like thunderstorms, but you are quite at liberty not too.
We had a real cracker on holiday in Cornwall once that no one could sleep through and that's the only occasion I can remember feeling just a little uneasy.
However, you are not allowed to be scared of wasps, unless you are properly allergic to them

Salmotrutta · 07/05/2011 01:35

YANBU - this might "out" me but I had a relative who died after being struck by lightning many years ago.

It was horrible and left me very wary of thunderstorms.

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 07/05/2011 01:35

passed off here now, sent it to worcestershire me thinks. [evil laugh]

OP posts:

jasminejo24 · 07/05/2011 01:37

ah my mom is alergic to wasps and one landed on her. everyone said dont move its more scared of you. so she didnt move and it stung her (stung or stang?)
im not aftaid of wasps but hornets on the other hand ...

AgentZigzag · 07/05/2011 01:38

Me and an ex used to roffle with some of the names of ciders.

Cripple Cock was a fave

duckypoo · 07/05/2011 01:39

Ooh I love them, especially when you have mad hail then rain bouncing up to your knees. Dd and I were caught in one a couple of streets from home once, we were drenched to the knickers and had great fun.

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 07/05/2011 01:41

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 07/05/2011 01:41

YABU

Just moved home to florida and enjoying have some properly epic thunderstoms. If you are in England your thunderstorm is poo sorry,.

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 07/05/2011 01:55

vajazz you said epic too, u iz down wiv da kids too admit they are probably pathetic here compared to US! dd told me to 'stop being a wuss' as they have been learning about tornados etc. in school. nothing like being put in your place by an 8yo

OP posts:

Salmotrutta · 07/05/2011 02:04

VajazzHands - it was a thunderstorm in England that killed my relative.

All I'm saying here is, just be wary. Lightning is dangerous.
