A Location Location SubForum

[Paid The Umpire]

Is there a chance of you guys placing a new Sub-Forum in the off-topic called "Location Talk" or something.

Where people from the same place can talk about that location stuff. So a thread called "Sydney, Australia" would have all Sydney-siders talking about Sydney stuff, like "How crap the Opera House" etc.

 

[Mister Wright]

Or all the Brisbane people talking about how miserable the weather is.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

lol just another reason for people to go on a posting frenzy ?

 

[Neil Pickup]

I'm pretty sure OT can cover this.

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Persaonally i disagree.

Off-topic is all about non-cricket stuff.
This subforum would be about meeting up at games and getting trashed... etc.

Damn i thought this was gonna mean a forum where we could talk about the excellent property show 'location, location, location'

Don't complain. You're not on storm or hurricane warning.

 

[NikhilN]

didnt frances rip through trinidad Liam? or did it miss it?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I don't recall T&T ever being hit by a hurricane. God has a special place for us. That said, on this occasion, the eye will likely pass over Tobago. That's bad news for them and bad weather for Trinidad. On the flip side, school's out.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Yup, I loved it last year when the snow put paid to school for a while.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The slight difference being that people generally aren't left homeless or dead by snow. Storm warning over now. The hurricane appears to have changed directions. Thank God.

Actually, the homeless get hit very very hard by snow in Britain.

 

[Langeveldt]

Maybe when our membership doubles we can nag again for regional sub bits... Our SW England contingent is positively thriving... Shame there is not much to talk about here

However north south subsections would be like sorting the wheat from the chavs

And the homeless in a hurricane....

Thankfully the death count for Tobago is only 1 and for Grenada and Barbados it's 3 and 2 respectively.

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Well, back to the topic, I've gone and made a Perth, Australia thread in the Off Topic area.

I hear it's the worst to hit the Caribbean ever or something? 12 dead across the islands and it's heading towards Jamiaca?

Is your area OK?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Level 5 hurricane. That's as bad as they get. The death count in Grenada is up to 13 and it's on its way to Cuba then Jamaica. After that it's off to Florida.

I really feel sorry for Florida. They expect it on Sunday and it'll be the second hurricane to hit them in less than a month! Also this one is far worse. My prayers are definitely with them.

Trinidad and Tobago is fine compared to Grenada. Grenada was levelled. Here Tobago got some bad damage but wasn't actually hit by the hurricane itself. In Trinidad we just had some heavy rains and some wind. Where I was you'd barely know there was a hurricane about because the south of the island was quite clear after midday.

One thing about natural disasters though, they show that all men are equal because by the end of it, when you're left with not a personal posession in the world, you're just as good as the next guy.

 

[Langeveldt]

I guess its a good thing that there wasnt more human life lost, but the damage looks awful... Its petered out now?

We're in the process of cancelling our imminent holiday to Jamaica, its a shame because not a particularly wealthy part of the world is going to have their tourism industry hit pretty hard for the moment...
