bigsteve Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Now I know all you lot down south had a beautiful hot sunny day yesterday, but thanks to you lot, we had torrential, heavy thunder storms for 3 hours here last night! There was one really powerful fork of lightning that must've landed in our street. I was near the window at the time and I've never witnessed a flash of light of so big before. It took out the street lights, disconnected the PC and also blown the Freeview box so it now doesn't work! Afterwards I had jaw aches, a tingly feeling in my arms and a cracking head ache :shock: Alright now, but well scary stuff. There's some pics on the Beeb's site http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgo...est/4974858.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 lol people seemed to enjoy it though: Its AMAZING! Darren, East Kilbride, Glasgow simply amazing !!!! Peter Gonnella, Glasgow Amazing, saw a lightning strike take out a full block of house lights etc in Parkhall, Clydebank. Bob Steel, Glasgow What a wonderful evenings entertainment. Never witnessed so much lightning happening at the same time. Michael Blair, Paisley Shame about your Freeview box though, Steve :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 This one's good: But the caption reads: "Ron Stirling captured what looked like a bolt of lightning hitting a tower block in Parkhead" If thats not a bolt of lightning, I don't know what is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberduck Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Last summer I saw the same sort of thing. A bolt of lightning hit a pylon 200m away from where I was stood. There were sparks flying everywhere. It scared me senseless but was such an amazing sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuro Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 lol Aza's been there before!! :wink: I wasn't there but I think Craig simply ate far too many cheeseburgers and didn't remember her name, her height, her age, what she looked like, or anything. In fact he has no recollection whatsoever of meeting the person, which I think's brilliant! Am told they made out though and she's quite hot, so get on the case Craig and hunt her down! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Not remembering anything is the best position to be in, especially if you here she was hot, that way you can never be dissapointed when you meet them and realise it was simply a booze induced fittie you remember bein with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aza Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 its amazing how things change when you out drinking and the beer goggles come on........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 its amazing how things change when you out drinking and the beer goggles come on........ It can be fantastic though if a mate is hammered and starts making moves on some, lets say, un-aesthically pleasing female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 This can result in the "I wish I could eat my arm off" situation if it goes too far. You know, when you wake up in the morning in bed with this "un-aesthically pleasing female", you realize your error of judgement but you can't escape because she's sleeping on your arm.... aaargh!

Max Kane Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Get your arm back in the most un-quiet and discrete manner and wake her up, say 'what ya cookin me for breakie then?' and proceed to walk about puffing your gut out, she'll soon regret the incident as much as you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
