Better than full-sized hail.

Sounds like you are being hit by a Scottish summer

Yeah, that stuff is on its way here. About another 4 to 5 hours.

Whereabouts are you? We're meant to be getting crazy winds here in Toronto (in fact it's started)
Evidently my riding buddies have decided that 90kmh wind gusts will merely help us up the hills so our 5:30AM ride is still on. Anyone have some body armour I can borrow?

Lafayette, Indiana, USA. We had a 4.75 hour power failure.

Indiana? Isn't that where Prince Charles sent his first honeymoon.

How did you guys end up fairing down there?

Quite well, other than a number of downed branches and a 4.75 hour power failure for most of the city.

We're re-racking a bunch of servers and upgrading some of the power bars (I know - co-hosting - how quaint!) so there may be a few minor outages of a couple of minutes here and there over the course of the morning.
All done. Minimal hamster damage.

Clearly quite well - he isn't responding so it is possibly one of these:
1) He was arrested and they took his tablet away,
2) He is still drunk and can't turn the tablet / PC on,
3) He is still so drunk he can't type (scary thought, having seen his "drunken posts" before),
4) Michelle has killed him and disposed of the remains,
5) He is so badly hung over he can't type because his fingers are too loud.
Any preference?

He is alive, there was some musings on FB about what he has come home to.

He is alive.
I have seen some posts from him on FB.

Alive, sober, backend of hanging and looking to eat something nasty.
I think I am in need of some Vitamin K(ebab).

A week since the car accident and two interesting things have presented themselves.
Firstly, according to my wife, I no longer snore. I have snored loudly since childhood, even had an unsuccessful operation to improve it once.
Secondly I can no longer cook. Everything I have tried since has gone wrong, and I can't work out why. First time timings were all wrong, some bits burnt, others practically raw. Other times things have tasted wrong.
Obviously the second is far more pressing and serious than the first.

Well, putting a +ve spin on it - now the Mrs. can cook - no excuses as she'll be getting a decent night's kip for the first time since shacking up with you

Trust me, it's going to take far larger shift in the cosmos for her to be able to cook. I think it will be safer to stick with my freeky tasting crap.
To be fair to her, she is very good at ordering take always by phone.

I never knew there are operations available to improve snoring? Which idiot would opt for it anyway?

The one who "sleeps" next to a snorer... 
Herself (bless her little cotton socks) has been known to wake herself up by snoring too loud. Seriously. I have been tempted to have an operation to disable my ears...

Snigger. I did just that on a long-haul flight a while back (not sure when my snoring started but I'm now Olympic level according to the missus). Then I noticed my shoulder felt damp. My T-shirt was soaked with the flood of drool coming from my mouth.

It can be a symptom of more serious things. I had the op as a kid, think it was related to more fundamental nasal breathing issues.
My father-in-law is having an op next week because of his snoring, think it might be apnea related.

It can indeed.
