  Sunday I was lawn bowling with a carry out and some pals in the glorious spring sunshine; today there is lightning right over the city and the loudest thunder I have ever heard. I remember, perhaps unwisely, sitting on my balcony on the top floor of our apartment building in spain, watching fork lighting crash into the balaeric isles and dance all across the sky in front of us for over an hour and a half - quite the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Thankfully up here we don't get much of the forked stuff, so I'm unlikely to be frazzled today but its hell of a loud, like bombs going off.

  Anyone else in glasgow hearing this?

  It's been raining (and everything that comes with it) here all week too.

  • Which is OK every once in a while but not when I'm trying to catch a bus for an exam.– Jaline

  Lawn bowling? I love you, kelpie.

  When I was about 11 I stood atop our house holding aloft the remote control for a toy car, trying to attract the fork lightning, to no avail. I sadly loped down stairs and explained what I'd been up to to my Dad, to which he responded - "So, what if you'd been successful?". I hadn't thought that far ahead.

  • haha, yeah - I videoed the spanish storm with my phone held aloft for 15 minutes till I realised wtf I was up to– kelpie

  Lawn bowls rocks. Great way to spend a sunny afternoon, particularly with added alcohol

  I just saw loads of forked lightening, and the loudest thunder I have ever heard. It was great, although I reckon the Glasgow tower has taken a beating...again.

  • is it forking? I didn't think so when I posted, but I'm pretty sure of it now– kelpie1/2

    its forking amazing.....heh...– kinross2/2

  My grandad used to be big into his lawn bowls - I wish I'd been old enough to try and inherit his bowls [oo-er] before he passed on.

  To this day, one of the only 'sports' I enjoy watching on TV is bowls - the grace, poise and majesty are largely unrivalled by any other televised sport. I've had many an argument with 'friends' about this - they largely write it off as a pointless and a bit dull, to which I respond '..and football is?'.

  When I grow up and move away from this filthy city, I'ma definitely going to take it on.

  • guff, 'largely'. I hate repeating words like that - it's like a spastic mental tic or something.– detritus1/3

    I like it. It conjured an image of your friends with a massive 10ft post-it note.– Spookytim2/3

    They were running across a bowling green, about to slap it down and right it off.– Spookytim3/3
