I suspect Orchestral Manoeuvres are as much in the Dark as you are.

Is this old people's music?

I think myself and @Hill Wimp are probably at opposite ends of the same train.

Why did you not come and find me ?

I managed to get out for a cycle ride with my friends this afternoon.
We stopped off half way round and popped in to see Hector Cole a blacksmith. He showed us a Saxon pattern welded sword that he was making.
We continued on our way round, the four of us like a group of old codgers from Last of the Summer Wine.
We cycled about 19 miles in all.

Would that make a difference?

Yes, if it was found anywhere else it wouldn't have come from Sutton Hoo.
Hector thinks that the one that he is trying to replicate and the one from the famous boat burial were made by the same blacksmith.

It'll blow itself out, or hit the South coast with a wimper(end of the world time).

More than likely , but as the image shows the current projection is for it to still be at hurricane strength just off the south coast of Ireland. Extremely ususual to see that being forecast anywhere near this part of the world.
