[News] Storm Ciara

[Coalburner]

There was a guy on a phone in to the Jeremy Vine show this lunchtime who bragged that he went surfing in, I think Weston Super Mare over the weekend. He said it was like being in a washing machine. It makes you wonder about some people's state of mind

What sort of idiot puts themselves and others at risk by surfing in a storm?

"The surfer was later found conscious by rescuers about six miles away from where he entered the water."

If that surfer doesn't spend the rest of his life fund raising for the RNLI at every conceivable moment then they should hang their head in shame.

My Brother-in-Law is a Helmsman for the Burnham-on-Sea RNLI just a couple of miles further down the coast from WestonSM.

Every time we hear that he's been out on a rescue in treacherous conditions it really drives it home how he and his colleagues put their lives on the line, especially when idiots such as this think that they're invincible.

Remember, the RNLI is a voluntary organisation. Don't make them pay for their rescue, make them join RNLI crews for a period of time so that they gain a better appreciation of the dangers they put themselves and their rescuers to.

Hastings Lifeboat crew, I salute you.
Brave men, that is real roughers, and the surfer needs to have his arse kicked, repeatedly.

Their lives literally on the line, for someone perusing his hobby. Selfish.

I’m guessing, so most likely wrong, but I would think that whether or not there is a local lifeboat never enters the mind of these people and dicing with death is how they get their thrills.

I wondered what the Miele was as I walked along the beach at Weston.

Who is global and why did you have a cold arse in the first place ?

Maybe his balls were glowing and heating up and causing his arse to warm?

Glo-ball warming my arse!

I heard today that this 10-second clip taken by a member of the public has resulted in more donations to the RNLI than a year's worth of organised and carefully planned fundraising! Good stuff.
