948.0. "Hurricane Joe" by SIOG::OSULLIVAN_D (Best Before 07/68) Fri Sep 06 1991 07:52

    	According to my reliable meterological sources Hurricane Joe has
    been sweeping up the west coast and wreaking havoc and destruction 
    (of the brain cells) in his wake.  Galway and Mayo are believed to 
    have suffered the worst of the hot air which is the characteristic 
    feature of Hurricane Joe.  Weather predictions are for the north to 
    be hit hardest at the weekend before it reverses direction and winds 
    down the east coast next Monday.  The long weather forecast does not
    look good for the whole Cork region and several novenas to Our Lady
    of Ballinaspittle are in progress that HJ misses the holy county (btw
    others are praying for the exact opposite).

	re .0: Galway surviving an onset of hot air is as surprising as Murmansk surviving a cold spell. It'sssssssss not as if they're unaccusssssssssssssssstomed to it. --Mr Topaz

	HJ will undoubtably swing north soon according to the weather reports I have seen. Too bad it doesn't blow out to sea. But then if it hits Cork it can only improve the area. 8*)....... paddy

	Yer an evil man, Paddy. Wishin' such a tempest on the good people of Cork. When d'ya figger it'll buck the Gulf winds and head west agin?

	Weather Update... Citizens, I bring those of ye of the Cork persuasion the latest news on Hurrican Joe's progress. Happily, the prayers of the Ballinaspittle Brethern in league with the Clonakilty Cherishers have succeeded in diverting the HJ twister in the midlands. The capital was hit rather hard this lunchtime, worst excesses around the Guinness brewery and Willie Ryan's pub where its sedate luchtime crowd were bombarded with rebel (county)songs sung woefully out of tune. The recently abandoned 'holy hour' was re-introduced and HJ and his entourage were chased down the quays and crossed the Liffey like a whirlwind. Contrary to earlier predictions HJ is now headed north again after having broken wind at a special private viewing of The Arthur Guinness Story. Shouts of 'more Murphys' and 'Beamish Brendan' ensured another hasty departure for the dastardly duo and latest met. office reports indicate that HJ is again headed north, thus saving our "true" capital city. More later...

	Wot?! HJ bypassed Bishopstown?? Good thing it's on the Lee-ward side ��
948.8	The rebuit the course entrance since that day.	MACNAS::MHUGHES		`Tue Sep 10 1991 20:47`	18
	Leaprechauns are enjoying the heatwave. The first week in Sept. of 1991 was the hottest on record in Ireland. HJ is having beneficial after-effects. However the first week of Sept. 1985 was warmer as the authors of .0 &.1 will vouch. The friction generated at the turnstiles of the racecourse gates approached meltdown proportions and are widely believed to have motivated the diet of the century. They have also repaired the railing near the first fence past the stand. HJ's whirlygig geographic gyrations are presently an unknown factor but Keyes Ferrie and yours truly know that he was well foddered for his journey before he left the wesht for fallower pastures. Snake will treasure the Maple Syrup for a lifetime (P.S. .1 I can get it for you wholesale !)

	Mike I believe Hurricane Joe was doing battle with a squally shower of weastmeath wailers when last heard of. -Dermot
948.10	Related to the snake ????	CHEFS::HOUSEB		`Wed Sep 11 1991 10:00`	11
	Mike, Totally different subject but - are you related to the Hughes family who own Hughes's Bar in Woodquay, I've been told you are ???? If so we are distant relations as Micky is my mam's cousin !!! It would be interesting to know. Good luck, Brian.
948.11	Dangerous admission	DBOSW2::BRENNAN_M	Guinness - A work of Arth	`Wed Sep 11 1991 10:56`	7
	The Hughes of Wood Quay strongly deny any rtelationship. If they admmitted to that the slippery serpent would slither in and get sozzled for free. So its best to keep him at arms length. MBr
948.12	the snake's a thirsty man	CHEFS::HOUSEB		`Wed Sep 11 1991 13:28`	4
	enough said !!!!! Brian.
948.13	Cork's all Ireland after all	SIOG::OSULLIVAN_D	Best Before 07/68	`Thu Sep 19 1991 10:45`	8
	Whatever about Cork being saved from Hurricane Joe, Dave Barry did a cyclonic job on Bayern Munich last evening when he scored a beaut for Cork City. The Bavarians were peeing in their lederhosen for the rest of the evening. -Dermot P.S. Any sightings of HJ in New England?
