Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases or charged particles from the sun through space, while planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical elements from a planet's atmosphere into space. Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the regions in which they occur, and their effect. The strongest observed winds on a planet in our solar system occur on Neptune and Saturn.
In meteorology, winds are often referred to according to their strength, and the direction from which the wind is blowing. Short bursts of high speed wind are termed gusts. Strong winds of intermediate duration (around one minute) are termed squalls. Long-duration winds have various names associated with their average strength, such as breeze, gale, storm, hurricane, and typhoon. Wind occurs on a range of scales, from thunderstorm flows lasting tens of minutes, to local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting a few hours, to global winds resulting from the difference in absorption of solar energy between the climate zones on Earth. The two main causes of large-scale atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect). Within the tropics, thermal low circulations over terrain and high plateaus can drive monsoon circulations. In coastal areas the sea breeze/land breeze cycle can define local winds; in areas that have variable terrain, mountain and valley breezes can dominate local winds.
In human civilization, wind has inspired mythology, influenced the events of history, expanded the range of transport and warfare, and provided a power source for mechanical work, electricity and recreation. Wind powers the voyages of sailing ships across Earth's oceans. Hot air balloons use the wind to take short trips, and powered flight uses it to increase lift and reduce fuel consumption. UV loves to break wind too. Areas of wind shear caused by various weather phenomena can lead to dangerous situations for aircraft. When winds become strong, trees and man-made structures are damaged or destroyed.
Winds can shape landforms, via a variety of aeolian processes such as the formation of fertile soils, such as loess, and by erosion. Dust from large deserts can be moved great distances from its source region by the prevailing winds; winds that are accelerated by rough topography and associated with dust outbreaks have been assigned regional names in various parts of the world because of their significant effects on those regions. Wind affects the spread of wildfires. Winds disperse seeds from various plants, enabling the survival and dispersal of those plant species, as well as flying insect populations. When combined with cold temperatures, wind has a negative impact on livestock. Wind affects animals' food stores, as well as their hunting and defensive strategies. In conclusion wind is the best.

Cheese is over-rated and boring. Lets rank the roast dinners.
1. Roast beef
2. Roast pork
3. Roast turkey
4. Roast lamb
5. Roast chicken
IMO.
Turkey is massively under-rated though so I expect to be on my own rating it above chicken.

Roast beef is overrated there. All the others I'm fine with.

Big difference between rating the meats and rating the roast dinners, ****.

said pork is #1 and that's entirely crackling based. after that its like in a bike race where you finish in a group and all get the same placing

lol fish as #1.
1/10 as a rating maybe.

I kind of think the opposite. It's a pretty hard thing to actually **** up IMO; it's consistently okay without ever really being absolutely gun
I think I have a bias towards roast beef because I always get Sirloin roasts which make amazing, thick pan gravy and then have it with Yorkshire pudding. The actual beef itself in the roast is inferior to the pork and the turkey but the Yorkshire pudding and lush gravy just adds so much to it IMO. Even more than crackling adds to pork.
I rate lamb pretty low down because I'd rather have braised lamb shanks than a leg of lamb if I'm in the mood for a lamb roast-type meal.

Rare to find a grilled/hot plated hot dog in Australia. It's all you'll find in Denmark, for example. Delicious stuff.
Dead to me.
