Severe weather warning - Central Scotland

Discuss your wife's objections to the fifth dish going up or your concern that there's far too little violence on the box these days. You can also introduce yourself here or just chat about anything. Remember, no keys or files allowed.

High winds 60 mph - 80 mph expected this afternoon - evening in central Scotland.

Today 11th November 2005.

Worst in four years - take care and check your dish.

Only he who does nothing, does nothing wrong.

Certainly - it was a freebie scavenged off the side of the road on bin day in 2001. It sits on an old car tyre pointing at 19E, although gawd knows what it will be pointing at by tomorrow morning.....

Dishes more or less survived the battering. The 19E 80cm dish on the tyre is slightly off beam and 16E (the 1m dish) is going to need tweaking a bit......

Repairs / realignments this afternoon. A gentle kick should push the tyre round enough.
