Default Flushed with Pride

Desperate Dan on BBC referred to the wind circulation of Sunday’s
upcoming storm as like “being flushed down the toilet”. I collapsed
with laughter so not sure exactly what he said.

I think DD's problem is that he tries to hard, and comes out with
fanciful metaphors

Yes, he is. Talking crap as usual. It isn't immediately
obvious what he means but I suppose it won't be as windy as we thought
a day or two ago. What a mangled and absurd way to say it! Some of
these people have a facility with the English language that would not
do credit to a recent central European immigrant.

Less windy here, because it seems the depression has turned right a bit,
keeping us on the cold air side (latest forecast is for sleet in the south
of England with temperatures only a few degrees above freezing tomorrow).
Northern France could still be taking it big from this system, although the
forecast winds on "XCweather" seem well short of the "Apocalypse Now"
syndrome with references back to October 1987 which were at one time being
predicted.
