Peckhamgatecrasher Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Can't get over the number of people on the Rye and Goose Green sheltering under trees in a lightning storm. Don't do it people!

woofmarkthedog Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 No sit under an umbrella or better a climbing frame Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6945-thundering-stupidity/#findComment-222290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 carry a large javelin and point it straight up into the sky to avoid all lightening, you can only do this successfully in wide open spaces like the park.

lenk Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 TIP: You need to build a Faraday cage to protect yourself - if there's any metal benches about on the Rye they would make good material to build one with.

Domitianus Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I recommend that all women wear extensively underwired bras when venturing out in weather like this!

KalamityKel Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Or be me standing under umbrella holding a metal rod in the air whilst trying quite pathetically to unblock a drain fighting against chunks of ice, wind... with me rolled up trousers and sleeves.Now have given up and sporting an attractive pair of muddy legs, a soaking back and a red over worked face... roll on 8pm when I can go home!

Brendan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Natural selection PGC, natural selection. The world has too many people anyway so the inability to make a simple deduction of causality or at least have some grasp of widely known colloquial wisdom are as good a grounds as any to determine those we can do without.

Muley Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Ha, I channeled the lightening through a conductor on the town hall roof to an old De Lorian car, and am posting this from the future. Have become small and Canadian though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6945-thundering-stupidity/#findComment-222515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee82 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I generally tend to shoot up to Dulwich and Sydenham for a quick round of golf whenever there's lightning. Adds a certain degree of risk to any game! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6945-thundering-stupidity/#findComment-222540 Share on other sites More sharing options...

evelknievel Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Jaybee, as Lee Trevino once said, if you get caught in a thunderstorm on the golf course stand in the open with your one iron held in the air. Even god can't hit a one iron. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6945-thundering-stupidity/#findComment-222583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
