    Sorry to hear that.

    Actually the safest place you could ever be inside a car, thats if its made of metal not plastic, its called the Faraday cage effect, The charge seemly goes round the outside and then earths itself on the ground, thou it has nothing to do with rubber tyres.

    If caught in the open stay away from trees as a strike would make them explode, simply kneel down with your butt in the and your face flat to the dirt, the theory is that its better to get a strike to your butt and not directly your head, or maybe it just makes it easier to kiss your own butt goodbye.

    A big no no is using a land line thats hard wired during a storm, its ok to use cordless and mobiles indoors but not outside as any metal object could cause a strike. Plus if you dont have surge protections on pcs etc unplug them, same goes if you PC is hare connected to the router.

    Best storm ever was sailing down Southampton water with a 60ft metal mast just asking for a direct hit I wouldnt of minded, I knew angt would go gown the metal shrouds then jump to the sea with no harm to the boat, but it had a metal steering wheel directly connected to the boom and thus I was trying to touch that baby as little as possible from as far away as I could. As per the family sat below waving their cups of tea at soaked me every now and again with smug grins.

    It is never wrong to respect nature and to fear what it can do if you are complacent.

    Ive witnessed a tornado kicking off during a thunderstorm, It was only a cat 1 but per square mile Britain gets more of them than tornado alley in America.

    But lightening fasinates me, its known now that an arch of energy goes upwards before the strike comes down wards, then an arch of energy goes upwards from the source of the stricke in the cloud and this is all about how the ozone layer is generated and protects us from the suns harmful rays.

    My new best mate Lord Bucket head told me all this, well he is still upset he couldnt beat Mrs May to be an MP so hes been out about searching for the allusive cash cow and magic money tree to save our planet.

    America dosent worship government it worships GOD.

    Good old Trumpy tweeting again, post his sacking of all transgenders in his military. the excuse being about medical costs when the actuality is any new recruits would have to be at least 18 months in to gender reassignment post opp and existing service persons would only cost them a max total of 3 million. But they never got to the recruitment stage so in fact all Trump is doing is sacking people because it will bring the nasties who hate all thing other than straight men or women because he needs their support as he is in for pasting over the investigations on him.

    The attack on the LGBT community could be a scary start to him even going to war with someone to distract away from his alleged corruptions and pull the , you need a strong leader at this time, card. Considering he promised to support LGBT individuals in he campaign speeches !!!!

    Today I submitted my plans for a car that runs on pixxie dust and cat poo to the licence office.. I could be in the money by 2040.

    Hes playing all the cards he can to dodge any impeachment. He literally is a school yard bully whos reach the highest office. His making USA great again is exactly what Hitler said when he came to power, in both cses playing on the frustrations of down trodden people, in Trumps case it was Mexico and China Hitler the war rebates te Allies demanded after ww1.

    I keep looking into the eyes of the white house spokesman lady when she speels off all this duff stuff... I ponder if she has sold her soul to Trump because no money on earth would any sane person want to do that job. In post war Iraq the Americans went after liars like her who propped up the President.

    Having more problems with my eyes, have a swirling vortex that basically completely blinds me for a second when its there and its becoming there more and more freqyentlu now, off to the Doc on Tuesday and hopefully will see Proff at eye hospital as soon as possible.. its kinda testing my normal upbeat mood.

    Would not be surprised to see him resign eventually, in favour of the V.President. Giving the reason, all the "witch hunts" stopping him focusing on his election promises.

    Cheers Dazzle.. I know Im already registered severely sight impaired/blind, but I really dont want to go totally blind .. Ive got too many people to annoy on the internet with my dull energy sucking posts .

    Anywho the land lady is off with her troop of Guides to camp this weekend, I get the week to myself.. just as well really as I think my very being is erking her at the moment.. but then she has had a couple of weeks being a teacher to tired tots at work who just want their mummies.. then she comes home to the fun black hole that is me her lodger.

    I may be delusional but I seem to still have my weird effect on some, in Robert Dyers on Sat out of the blue a worker lady actually handed me her card and said call me if you need anything.. I wasnt even buying anything, I was stood there patiently while relatives where taking half an hour over deciding what dish scrubber they were going to buy.. I have to say thou she was very attractive and a lot younger than me.. then on Thursday land lady ran into one of her teacher mates, who was very intense to say the least... in a specific way.. towards me.. yikes .. I keep looking in the mirror and seriously cant see hwat they see

    I think I should just keep taking the meds and stop day dreaming that I am in a soft core porn movie from the 70s .. thou my nieces ex could of been in one, he certainly had the creepy mastache look to fit.
