So we’ve been experiencing pretty shitty weather over the past few days as Storm Abigail blows her way across our little island and the UK…
Naturally, we’ve all taken to Twitter to vent about our first officially named storm. Because y’know, when you’re getting blown across the Ha’penny Bridge it’s the perfect time to whip out your phone and tweet!
To be honest we just want Storm Abigail to be over so that we don’t have to listen to anymore Abigails saying they’re not that bad, or people cracking ‘is it a gale or ‘gail?’ puns.
There’s a woman out there flying a kite. No wait, sorry – she’s walking her dog! #StormAbigail

The @LovinDublin offices currently sound like the Titanic during the bit where Rose has to go back down below deck to find Jack. #Abigail

Storm Abigail is blowing in tomorrow. Luckily we Abigails are a pretty mild bunch.

If you have any washing on the line, might be an idea to take it in. Lest it end up in Outer Mongolia with this wind. #StormAbigail
