.....is full of useless cunts.

There I was, eagerly anticipating a scorching August spent largely lazing on beaches in Devon because we were told that we'd actually get a fucking summer this year and now the incompetent pricks have changed their minds and are forecasting the usual washout.

If they can't be more accurate they shouldn't fucking bother.

The 'heatwave' was our summer.

I am completley repulsed by the vile weather

I refuse to take off my gladiator sandals though! even though they go all slippy and horrid in the rain

It better start getting sunny for V festival - I dont envisage wellys as part of my attire!

You don't want to fuck with the Met Office, they'll hunt you down.

Hyacinth Bucket sprang instantly to my mind then.    :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Did you know that the Met Office, had moved from Bracknell to Exeter?

That makes sense. Given that most of our weather comes from the South West. They can now go outside look at the clouds, stick their finger in the air & make the foecast. It'd be a just as acurate.

Amazing building !

I used to look after it as one of my contracts in 2004

Shouldn't you be out selling The Big Issue, with your dog tied up with a piece of string?

 It's a good point, but I rather like the idea of taxpayer's funded jobs, being based in shitholes....it's only fair, what do they do all day anyway...a euro met office would surely do the job.

They shouldn't try to be so clever.It just isn't possible to predict the weather months in advance.

I was away on my holiday in the Scilly isles last week and the weather was great six days out of seven.Come back home and its awful,i had three layers and my slippers on last night,i wore a coat and a hat to the West Brom friendly  :( 

Oh well,where we would be without the weather to moan about  :)

Got a job so stick it up your arse you bald cunt

My garden mission this year has been to sort out the lawn.  And after ruthless scarification, weeding, feeding and buckets of lovely rain, it's actually starting to look rather lush - despite the presence of the hulking great beech tree at the bottom of the garden.

A silver lining to those ugly grey rain clouds.  Hope that helps.

Not helping mine and Larwoods wardrobe dilemmas thought is it Ardiles??? huh???

I refuse to get my Ugss out!!

This is true.  And do genuinely sympathise with your Ugg-related predicament.  (You could always get a pair of wellington boots and paint them Ugg colour, maybe?)

Course it is... St Swithun's Day should see you alright...then oaks and ashes and  the relative chronology of their foliage arrival does the job.

Hope it doesn't rain on the 8th.

Usually they just have a look and see what the North Atlantic Jet Stream's doing. The further south it is generally means worse weather.

When the long range forecasts were done earlier in the year the jet steam was sitting nicely just north of Scotland, which is the ideal position for a generally hot summer. But the jet stream shifted and is now sitting around the level of the English Channel which generally gives for more wet weather.

Last year was the first time I can remember when it wasn't stonking hot for the opener....sure sign of climate change.

And its my wedding day.

Commiserations.

Long range weather forecasting is pointless.  Chaos theory.  That's all you need to know.

Talking of Chaos, it's been a while since I've seen KAOS graffiti.  (Supports my theory that Oxford are becoming increasinly irrelevant as rivals to STFC.)

I like wellys - but after the age of about 4 years old they are just not acceptable "anytime" footwear anymore?

Wellies are the preferred footwear of sheepshaggers.

A good alternative to wellington boots is to wrap plastic bags around your shoes so they don't get dirty.

But where do you put the sheep's legs?

euuuuuuuuuuuuuw REG!!!!!! thats ming!! Id never thought of that before

That's because you're not Welsh.

nope and Im glad Im not!

If I HAVE to wear wellys to V festival - will that make me a bad person?

Of course not....have you considered waders?

Classic. Can't believe 'Women in waders' is something that actually exists.

If there's rubber and women..it'll exist.

I suppose JFW would be more Prada

funnily enough no - but do yout think me and Zoe would get to be in the calender if we did?

The woman in Reg's picture looks like she's been dead for at least a week.  Call me old fashioned, but I'm so much more likely to find a model attractive if I think she's got a pulse.

Wellies are uber fashionable with the festival-going ladies... with a skirt and bikini top usually. Optional aviators.

Your radical old skool attitude disgusts me. Get with the times.

It might depend on what you do with the fish....look at these bad boys

I would so not touch a fish!!! how ming

And with splashes of mud on the legs.

It is a very good look.
