    The weather forecast for 7am tomorrow at Bristol airport. Still, it's not as bad as at 9am. I might just make it...

    Won't the flight be cancelled?

    Dunno. Forecast saying 28mph wind and 40mph gusts at 7am, but think it's be pretty straight down the runway, rather than crosswinds. I won't be using much petrol going up the M5 tonight.

    It's quite an odd one, I'm on the edge of the red zone so risk to life. Schools have been shut, trains are all cancelled, both mine and my wife's employers have told us not to go into the office and the TV weather is saying 90-100mph gusts. However the Met Office and BBC weather are showing wind speeds in the high 20mph with gusts to about 65mph at the peak.

    Considering Bristol airport is on a hill top and on the edge of the red zone I'm surprised flights haven't already been cancelled to be honest.

    Well, I might just have a day in a windy airport. Time will tell.

    I had a day like that last year. News was full of doom and gloom. Met Office were chill.
    Wish I'd listened to the news. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Well, it appears we'll be flying. A few at Bristol cancelled, but the airport is absolutely heaving.

    Are 78mph guests a bit too big to go riding in?

    Despite the red warning it isn't even as windy here as it was on Wednesday when we didn't have a weather warning. Stiff breeze at most.

    It’s at one end of the risk vs reward spectrum.

    Looks like it is a bit later coming in than first predicted. Second red area now for the south-east.

    So went to drop the car off for the MOT.

    Walk back - it's really not very exciting.

    As in low risk, high reward for strava top times?

    Just caught a guy, who, after his dog shat in front of my house, decided to put the sh!t bag in my bin.

    By the time I got out to explain not very politely why he was as bad as the thing he put in my bin, he was too far down the road. FFS

    On a positive note, if it does get bad, from my loft office I'll have a good view of all the stuff in the neighbours' gardens flying around.

    it was like this here an hour ago but now it is getting gusty.

    To improvise my own Beaufort scale the catflap is starting to move on it's own but the trampoline is still there

    Yeah, really starting to pick up here now. Seems to be a few hours later than was originally forecast.

    Hooray. Maybe a storm will prevent you getting home again if you get really lucky!

    Should have followed him at a distance then dropped it on his doorstep.

    I had an incident the summer before last. It was around 11pm on one of the really warm days we had and some bloke cycled past me (an all the gear, no idea type) just as my dog was unloading. I cleaned up and the guy who was by then about 100m up the road from me shouted over his shoulder 'pick it up you dirty c**t'. I managed to fight off the urge to jump in the car and run him off the road then put the bag of poo in his mouth. However, a quick check on Strava made him easy to identify as no-one else was riding at that time - it was very tempting to drive to his house and dump the bag on his doorstep but again I avoided the temptation.

    My dad used to go out and throw it at the owner. Kept a trowel by the door for this purpose. Worked a treat.

    Not advisable given the wind conditions ;-)

    In your wheelie bin outside the house? I assume he didn't come in and put it in your kitchen bin.

    Can you explain to me why that's so bad?

    Good practice to deal with your own rubbish.

    I f*cking hate dogs and I hate their sh!t even more so why should I suffer a nasal full of his dog's sh!t because he's too lazy to carry it home and deal with his own rubbish?

    It's not a public bin. It's a private bin. It's for rubbish from my household, not anyone else's.

    By your logic I should just put my rubbish in whichever bin on my street I like?

    I hate dog sh1t but I find people picking it up absolutely sickening.

    However if they bagged it and put it in my bin without me seeing i would not have a problem. I would see it as a fitting punishment for leaving my bins out the front.
