Good plan Batman!

There was on strike of lightning that was very close to me (Swathling) and that woke me up, took me ages to get back to sleep.

And there's nothign wrong with Millbrook, I'd rather walk there at midnight than in some other parts of the City.

I went outside for it and danced in the rain with a lady friend. :cool:


Was some awesome thunder, though some silly git has his alarm far too sensitive as it went off every single time...


and yes - pub crawl sounds awesome

Anyone near Southampton see the large flash?

The thunder took ages to get to Chandlers Ford but damn it was loud.

And they said we would have no thunder storms tonight :rolleyes:

I missed it and I love thunder and lightning. I slept through it :(

Here we go again!

EDIT: It's going crazy! Towards Southampton for those in CF. The lightning is as clear as day, striking the ground but I can't hear any thunder. Either because of the background noise or the aliens are here.

Followed by a heavy BBQ me thinks
bbq sounds good, but it should come before a pub crawl... undercooked meat doesnt settle so well after 10 pints! ;)

plus of course the only food to end a night of drinking on is radjani's kebabs. :D
