Storm 'Doris'

[TVC]

The people of Northern Scotland have had a look at Storm Doris and decided she just looks like a normal Monday.

I saw two over-turned wheelie bins earlier so I went down the shops and bought all the bread and milk.

 

[PeteXXX]

Well, Doris was a let down!
Barely got moist, let alone wet ..

What happened ? It looks like a nice day for the surrey hills tomorrow

I saw two over-turned wheelie bins earlier so I went down the shops and bought all the bread and milk.

I saw 300 overturned bins , some in the road and rubbish all over the street . That was just Hounslow councils bin collection day.

@PeteXXX does your other half know that Doris barely got moist ?

I thought we'd already had Doris!
Turns out that she's on her way in day or two..

 

[Hill Wimp]

She started knocking on the door of the beach yesterday evening then got bored because we ignored her.

All was quiet up to half an hour ago but she has started banging again so I have put the washing out.

She is due to kick in the door here around 10am tomorrow and continue trashing the place up until late evening.

And according to the Beeb this time it's Dorris

It's a bit blowy in south Oxfordshire

I think the eye of Doris went over Cheshire, nice and calm and the birds were tweeting?

Wind Gusts between 50 and 60 mph predicted here tomorrow. It'll blow itself out

Some facts about the name Doris

My grandmother was called Doris, she was born in 1906 and died in 1992 - Love and kisses, Nana xx. I can remember when I was a young lad, my granddad getting impatient with her and saying in a loud voice, "For goodness sake, Doris".

The central character in Tom Sharpe's hilarious novel, "Ancestral Vices" had a computer which he was very fond of and which he named Doris.

This must be the 3rd or 4th storm named Doris in the past year or so.

It's just brightened up here considerably, so I'm going out on the bike for an hour as there'll be no chance tomorrow.

I think Doris hits us about 9.00 pm ?
