Not if you didn't try to buy them until Saturday afternoon.

Anyone give us a weather check now William's gone... ?

 

[bluestreak]

Never trust a 5 day forecast - accuracy drops to about 40%.

ANd oilskins? In 20+ heat? Are you MAD?

mad as a lorry, mate.

as any fule know cheap, breathable and lightweight waterproofs are widely available from any camping goods boutique worth its salt.

 

[kyser_soze]

Is that observed or fact?

Handy fact if it is one

Met office admission from what I remember...could be wrong but it is a fact that accuracy in forecasting goes down the further you try and predict. IIRC they're right about 85% for the one day for any given region and it drops up to 3 days and then becomes a lot more unpredictable.

I saw 'em for sale on Saturday for £7.

Id: check

Id!! good point. And I've got me book as well, in case I get bored....

 

[J77]

Confidence is moderate that the Glastonbury Festival will experiencely largely settled and fine conditions in association with the close proximity of a high pressure feature.

Nice word

Bully for you What were they, size 14?
I spent 3 hours wandering round with my girlfriend (who was the silly sausage who was sans wellies), and the best that we could come up with was a pair a size too small for £40. That's what you get for sleeping in.

Right....

I picked up my citizenship card from the post office this morning.

I've just done my presentation at work which went fine.

I have now consumed a large glass of red wine.

I think its finally time for me to let myself get properly excited!

 

[Agent Sparrow]

I think I might be very slightly pissed....

 

[aqua]

I'm stll not very excited though

 

[ddraig]

[Agent Sparrow]

I leve work in 2hours (glares at clock to make it go faster)

Pourquoi?

Hopefully just work 2 hours left related?

 

[aqua]

[boing!]

Don't want to miss their debut (?) performance at glastonbury.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

*realises she'll meet AS at last *

I was thinking the same!

(about aqua, not Agent Sparrow of course! Though its possible I'll finally meet myself if the mushrooms are strong enough).









I can't believe I've got myself tidly for my last few hours at work when I'm meant to be tying up lose ends....

 

[aqua]
