We've had it for 2 solid hours now, sheet lightning and all sorts. My fucking beer is in the car too but I'm buggered if I'm getting it
My Mum's meant to be driving up to Newcastle tomorrow, 200 odd miles, I might be taking time off work and sharing the driving if it stays this way

GT's random fact of the day - A thunderstorm blew one of my old computers up once and set part of it alight. I have a surge protector now, to protect the delicate internal components against unexpected influxes of electrical charge

I loved it, my cats didn't! I'm just over the watershed for the next valley (effectivley where the M62 runs) and got it continuosly from 10 til 3ish. Bit of a contrast to say it's only 4/5miles away! A bit more exposed as I live on the side of a valley though. I could see it all coming in from across the pennines and Huddersfield area and it looked pretty impressive. Not seen lightning as good as that in this country before Yeah, me too. God knows why!

We had one that was really bad yesterday, started at 8, didn't go away until probably 12. It was torrential rain and I had to walk in it with a saxophone case meaning I couldn't run, but this was at 8:30, when it wasn't as bad. Really scary lightning, and the thunder made our walls rattle Our lights flickered badly and my mate said she had a powercut for a while, a bungalow in the village I go to school in was hit and burst into flames and I think due to a lightning strike the internet at school was down too. And I'm really, really scared of thunder storms. I sat, frozen in a chair all night, and refused to go to bed until it rumbled away

You're welcome mate.
I've found myself ostracised of late for saying that at least Take That were better than the modern boy bands. It's basically a nostalgia / rose tinted specs thing - I sure as hell hated the c*nts when they were around but I suppose I just remember that collective feeling of the past
