It's the weekend, what else would you expect?OK Mother Nature. You win. Thunderstorms have been banging on here since just before midnight. Eased up a bit, but, about half hour ago, got woken up again by an almighty bang (oooh missus!). Non-stop lightning too and a severe weather warning in place, meaning the buses/trains are off and a possible record lightning count.
So, 445am here, watching nature having fun with tea. There’s going to be a lot of tired faces today.
Long time no see, ow's tha doing?
You still travelling on Northern services?Not so bad!

The usage of "73" for such a purpose comes from the Phillips Code, originally devised in the era of telegraphs to speed up transmission of common messages by mapping them to numbers.
"73" mapped to "best regards" or "my compliments" and was intended as a general valediction for transmitted messages.
It is still used for that purpose today in morse code transmissions and often makes its way into everyday correspondence among hams as a form of jargon.
There is also "88" (which maps to "love and kisses") that sometimes takes the place of "73" for communications between affectionate parties.
