Bloody hell. Fix it up quick lads, Hans Zimmer is playing next month.
It howling down here. Just been to Sainsbury’s in West London, had to wrestling the shopping trolley across the car park. Stuff flying everywhere.
What’s it like for anyone else around the UK?
Living in Leicester working in Coventry. It is blowing but it isn’t that bad yet.
Dog was loving it this morning, the wind must do something to smells.
Some spots of rain but intermittent still, wind pushed me back a step but I got used to it. Blowy day in the midland
Out of curiosity, what’s O2 likely to do here? I’m not sure how easy a fix that’ll be.
It’s gonna be like one of those untethered trampolines bouncing it’s way through London
> The O2 was known as the Millennium Arena when it first opened in 2000.
Wait, wasn’t it the millennium dome? Is this a Mandela effect type thing?
Hopefully the storm takes the entire thing wizard of oz style. It’s an eyesore
A little excitement for our young adult stadium, oh well back to boring shit soon.
Am in Cardiff.
A soldier’s head just flew past the front door, mouthing the word, “victory”.
Not going to lie, as a Scot I forget how much natural protection we get from how hilly and mountainous we are when heavy winds hits. The damage down there is already crazy. Stay safe!
North Devon’s fucking mental, my kids go kart moved across the garden.
There’s a livestream of planes landing at Heathrow which is both entertaining and intermittantly terrifying. 34 go-arounds and a couple of Qatari jets that took 3 attempts to get down.
Not surprised tbf the material used had a 15 to 20 year life when it was made (don’t they always say that) I seem to remember a fuss been made about its life limitations at the time 1999
Hahahahahaha The Milleniumim Tent has been blown over by the wind! Hahahhhaa
For a structure that was originally planned to have been torn down years ago it’s held up pretty well I’d say.

And we have buildings that have stood for hundreds of years. In fact the O2 architect Richard Rodgers lived in an Edwardian townhouse.
That’s karma for charging me £12.50 for a double vodka
The millennium isn’t over yet, why not just call it the Millennium Dome?
The entire nation knows about the Millennium Dome, how many of us have heard of a telephone company’s personal arena? I hadn’t.
To shreds you say?
No, I can’t believe anyone beat me to it either.
Rees-Mogg will be on the news presently to say that the roof hasn’t been damaged at all and anyway it’s all because of covid.
Local Uni Environment Centre has also lost its roof.
In my opinion, given the amount they study the environment, they should have seen it coming 🙂
This is why roofs are hardly ever made of papier mache.
