It's just role-playing, lads. Nothing wrong with it. Is there?

Nah, no injuries or damage to report thanks lads. Other places got it worse, poor hoors.

Think it was only out a few hours in most places, Sheen.

My next door neighbour lost the washing off the line.

I'm in The Azores at the moment (as a break away from the 15 angry dobermans I keep at the house) and the locals were getting pissed off with CNN going on about potential damage to the UK and Ireland while half the island was getting fvcked up.

I agree with them. I don't want to make light of it as three people died but the hyperbole on Sky and other TV channels about Ireland was OTT even by their standards. It was a storm by definition. Even in the build-up it was being present as apocalyptical. As ever, they will inflate news depending on whether they can get film of it to show - if they can, it's news, if they can't then forget it. Other areas of the world suffer horrendous natural disasters and we never get to hear about them.

To be fair, the Irish government did class it as a national emergency. The news channels are hardly going to ignore that. It's not Raoul Moat or a royal baby, it's millions of people (potentially) in danger.

RTE 1 devoted almost their entire day to reporting the storm and its progress, but they seem to run out of things to report after the tragic third death of the day near Dundalk mid afternoon. The storm began to peter out or lessen in intensity gradually once it reached Mayo. They kept reverting back to old reports or turning to the Met Eirann reporter to ask what could happen still. Some might see this as overkill. To me in someway it was, but to be fair the overall reportage was generally good and not over the top, sensationalist,'Oh my God' type reporting that Sky, ITV or the BBC seem to annoyingly portray to viewers these days. Alarmism seems to be the way with journalism today to gain attention.
The fact there were fewer casualties on Monday was down to good, advanced fore warnings by both the Irish and British weather institutions so contingency plans could be put in place if and where required. Many people were told to stay put and not venture out unless absolutely necessary. No one could say they weren't warned.
Re- Brian's post, there are indeed loads of natural disasters going on over the world that go unreported or get little attention, but people and journalists are really only interested or concerned if the disaster happens locally or where nationals of say Britain or Ireland are involved. Only so much can be reported or we would all be deluged with doom and gloom scenarios, and Christ, we experience enough of them naturally or not at present.

There aint half been some clever bastards.
