Storm? pah...
(In northern Germany it is only a storm when the sheep have no curls anymore)

Here the Met Office only have to issue a Severe Weather Warning and the din of the storm is drowned out by the clatter of hundreds of doors being flung open by hordes of the feeble-minded, setting off to see how inventively they can get themselves (and others) killed:

Second storm to hit UK this weekend...Bah humbug I'm with catfish on this one. So overblown in the news last weekends one was. I even shouted out the window...bring it on you, to get some response. You got better odds being blown over by a rhino fart and they are powerful.

My son is an unusual lad: he came home from college today with some scratches on his hand. He'd been attacked by a 'boss monitor lizard'. Now I'm pretty sure that's something not many people have done

I'm having one of those 'Murphy's Law' weeks, where if anything can go wrong it will. I'm running out of toilet paper. I ran out of milk. I ran out of butter. Not good, but all in an average week. Then the battery on my glucose meter died. Definitely not good. So? A quick trip to the store and all will be well. But not if the car won't start. I have a neighbor who'll jump my car. He even has a special battery in a control box with cables. We hook it up and it still acts like the battery's dead. We try to jump it directly from his car, and it still won't start. He goes and digs out his battery tester. It's putting out a full load of juice. He finally decides it's the starter motor. That's going to cost more than I can afford right now, so I have to live without a car. Yesterday I took a bus to the store.
I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

^ welcome to my life
But really, i know those days. It is dark, storm damaged the roof, went up, the second i want to look at the tiles from inside the neon light dies. Ok, torch, bright shine, off, bulb dies. Climbing down the ladder, i stumble over the cat .. i'll spare you the rest. If the starter clicks but will not turn it is the magneto switch, sometimes it helps to give a short blow with a hammer at the starter housing, may help for the moment.

I've also had the same problem within the last few years and it was a smog related item that the part only cost $40, but the labor was a $100. It's too cold for Steve to crawl under the car to hit the starter Get a neighbor to do it
