Whistle down the wind..

I am just looking to book a holiday for later in the year, and given that the Caribbean is a location we like, I thought it best to check out the hurricane season. It runs from July until November and just once in a while I would quite like hurricane Simon to put in an appearance.

No chance of that happening though, as the names are pretty much cast in stone, and a bit like the Open golf championship courses, they work on a rota system. If yer not in, yer can't win basically. Unless that is, you are a real howler like Katrina, when you might get dropped for a new bird in six years time. The 2007 names are very similar to 2001, and already Andrea and Barry have been allocated, probably to tropical storms. So, see, Allison is already history......and so is Iris, replaced by Ingrid. My sister-in-law is in the rotation as are Stanley and Scope from the S-club five.

And Chantel is the next one to arrive, blimey if she is anything like her namesake (different spelling I know!!) in Big Brother the East coast of the States is in for weeks of howling and screaming. At least Preston will get some peace.
