Storm Imogen is the latest female weather system to come crashing on to our coasts in the past few days. Imogen has created havoc in certain areas but thankfully people are becoming a little more sensible and not taking unnecessary journeys this time out.
That message has yet to get to the nation's population of Swans, the galant white bird which reportedly has a strong ability and tendency to break the arms of human folk (although we believe this 'fact' to be the work of a PR firm working on behalf of the pigeon industry). Gardai have found them using flooded roads as new environments and after a big meeting at HQ it was decided that invoking the words of Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes RIP and the rest of 90s supergroup TLC would be the best approach in fixing the issue. It's so crazy it just might work.

We advise swans not to go chasing waterfalls and to please stick to the rivers and lakes they’re used to 3/3 pic.twitter.com/6FsLLPdf9l
