michael fish the weatherman - seems a nice chap but messed up big time as frontman with the forecast
from wiki:-
' a few hours before the storm broke, on 15 October 1987, he said during a forecast: "Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way... well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!". That evening, the worst storm to hit South East England for three centuries caused record damage and killed 19 people. '

Worse still, it uprooted the old laburnum tree next to my drive, which landed right across my Alfa Romeo cloverleaf.

Hello, Hopefully If you all let me stay around, I'll be able to Contribute and have some fun too............ 53 years old, Short, Fat and Stupid..... been Riding since 1979..... had a fair few Bikes and done a fair few miles too.......... Posted a few times on MCN and never upset anyone !!!! ......... here's some bike pics.
Mate..... I've always ridden these types of bikes.... totally addicted to Acceleration......... Had FJ1200's back in the day.... than CBR1000F's Blackbirds, Busa's and the ZZR1400............. Still got a clean Licence too........
The FJ was a Revelation.............. Heavy but felt really light on the move............ I wanted one as soon as I got overtaken by an FJ1100 on the M6 heading South whilst Two up on my GS850G coming back from Cumbria .......... feck, was that a heavy Bike......... Trying to keep up with him was really painful so I decided to invest in one when I returned.................... spent about 3 months going to Exeter ( Bridge ) to just look at the bike in the showroom before I actually got the Keys............... 88 was a really good year for Bikes....... but a shit year for Relationships......... truth be known.
but a shit year for Relationships......... truth be known. oh dear that doesn't sound too good
where i live, at the end of a cul de sac, peeps park in the turning head and the driveway is on a slope so it is a rare thing to be able to do a clean sweep into the property, with the parking and all it means hauling bikes around, all a bit difficult and i actually did drop one that i previously owned which wasn't that heavy although i couldn't pick it up without help, it's the awkwardness of it at low speed/manoeuvring really
