Reckon we had that at Easter. I leave for work at 5.45am and it's supposed to be about 12°C - is it bollox, more like 7°C....freeze. Then it's supposed to be sunny and 22°C..... turns out to be 18°C and raining. I want a job at the Met Office...reckon I can do just as well on a forecast.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

Weather forecasters and horse racing tipsters have the easiest jobs in the world, they fuck up on a daily basis yet still stay employed?
And totally ruin your day in the process, without any hint of an apology.
What's all that about?  :grumble

At least there will be others there to share my misery. Anyway, I kinda suspect we'll all be too wasted to care  :lol

It always rains down that end. You're on the Irish Sea FFS  :D
I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.

must have an hard ass freck to ride in the wooden plank of a seat..
less than 20 miles and I'd be crying with ass ache.
If I wanted to make a life-long career out of
working with the mentally retarded I would
have opened a Harley Davidson Dealership!
