  1. As you know. No one ever runs out of likes. The like is just ones appreciation for a post they relate to or are showing there appreciation for a great post. (Normally weather related) :-D This brings me onto my next thing about liking posts. I fully respect Pauls and the rest of the NW team hiding who likes posts, but it is good to see who likes your post. In busy times ie snow and adverse weather we can get in trouble for posting pointless or off topic posts, and what I feel will happen during these great times, is the threads will be diluted and the main flow of the thread will be interrupted by thank-you posts etc. I imagine hiding the like function has been disabled to stop any rivalry or point scoring in the mod thread, but in our friendly none hatred (and most popular SE and EA thread) does this really need to happen? After lurking and then being an active(ish) poster on here, we are a community and good cyber friends on here.Thanks, if this post seems out of line please delete. LD

    They have been in abundance due to the great quality posts, I'm not easily pleased. This weather malarky is like a profession to some I love the passion :good:. Concerning the change, at first i was inclined that the implementation was a punishment. I do think the idea originated from the MOD thread - as we know it can get spicy in there. I have come to terms with the change. What Bothers me is that you need to have the hassle of checking someone's profile to see if they've been online. Some just skim through, and are too busy to post. Also there may be people that have grudges with you, but there is no way to identify. Fortunately you can't find out unless there is a bust up on this thread, which i hugely doubt :)
  2. Amazing what a difference a few miles can make, no rain here this morning, never mind thunder! in fact we had clear blue skies.Left at mid day for Plumpton race course. Lovely there too, which was nice. Managed two 2nd's and a 3rd, well the 3rd was also last as only 3 finished. Just as well we don't part with real cash when we go.

    We had a near direct hit, the rain was biblical it's amazing how much a few miles can do :D not that happy about the Charlton results but props to them, being 2 nil down and then going ahead takes some doing. It is incredibly tight down the bottom of the table. On to the weather it looks moist out there... It is very humid just the right, ingredients for a cracking storm.

  3. Hey all, not been posting due to the dire internet. Hope you're all fine and well. I've been reading back, and noticed there has been some division; which I thought was water under the bridge. The regulars give a damn good example, and this is hard to follow. When I first made my entrance, I was a little intimidated i must be honest. Many of you have got a strong reputation, starting with nothing is not so easy. Like the first day of Secondary School almost bizarrely. Whoever you are, you're always welcome on this thread. I made the plunge it took just over a year, sometimes you just have to go for it, and see what happens, I'm glad to report that it was thoroughly the right thing to do. Regardless of the recent drama :) this is forum full of people after all, this things happen - just focus on the good that you are doing.

  4. Evening - Tonight marks my 100th Post 8)

    I've only been active on this forum for barely a month, but I feel like I have integrated well this is due to your friendliness, unprecedented on most forums, where trolls are primarily on the headline, this is a special place full of wonderful people.

    It is rather complexing to get my head that I've made 100 posts probably a lot of gibberish.. But it has been truely a pleasure to be part of this big community, as we approach the summer my posts may slip down, however I'm a all year person. I believe the people come first and the weather second, cheers :good: you'll all have to contend with me, I might get a little dazzled by the S word but I'll try my best.

  5. Afternoon what a lovely day it is, blues skies, scattered white cloud and the warming yellow sun :)

    Great concoction, at this time Easter time is not looking promising, could be unsettled. But we need all the rain we can get... If it was not for the wettest winter in 250 years, we would be approaching drought state. March was very dry here. And that theme is set to stay. 15.5c pleasant outside.

  6. Nucleur is the way foward, there is plenty left... Although not a renewable energy. But for now.. We don't need to worry.. Future generations are going to cross troubled waters, but by then im sure some scientists would've discovered a new energy source. Wind energy simply does not produce enough electricity, to provide for our every growing population.

  7. A marbile sized meteor would cause a large crater at speed of atmospheric entry which averages around 30,000-40,000mph - the crater is then generally 10x the object diameter. But a marble sized meteor moving through the atmosphere would quickly lose momentum through drag so it will only fall to the ground around terminal velocity. Only big meteors hit at high speed.Could be a meteor but the odds are miniscule so the gravel in the parachute idea seems more likely but who knows, amazing if it is!

    It is definitely not a meteorite thats for sure. I disagree there, the air resistance would not be enough to greatly speed it down.. As its pulled down by the Earth's strong gravitational pull. Of course the larger the meteorite the larger the size.. But even if it was the size of a marble a crater would be evident even if it only had a diameter of 10cm. Meteorites are fairly rare.. Most burn up in the atmosphere, we are fortunate or we would be like the moon. On occasion some large enough.. Impact the earth, wouldn't like to be there to witness it :p
  8. This odds malarky is wrong, you can not genuinely put a mathematical figure on the likelihood of getting hit by a meteorite.

    It either happens or it don't... Most of this meteorites crash in the ocean and they are unheard of, as 70% of the earth'a surface is water, I was told by my physics teacher that even a meteorite the size of a marble could make a very large crater.

    But was this even found? I think this is a hoax.

  9. Afternoon folks :hi:

    Light steady Rain, 14c. Been glancing over our regional; back in January 2013 it has made this winter thoroughly depressing. The energy and charisma was excellent, hope that is replicated in winter 2014/2015!! Snow is virtually non existent until December here.. But it sure does fly by. I will enjoy this summer immensely, just hope it's not muggy and humid, like last year.

    Does anyone how how you insert a animation on this forum, All I get is a still image.

  10. Oh the irony.....I had an invite to visit my friends in Hastings ( well Fairlight to be exact ) this week. Had I been able to make the journey I would be parked up on the Firehills with my camera right now !

    I know how you feel, that would be a glorious setting for spectacular shots, I have a caravan down in Winchelsea. The only blinking time we don't go down there, oh well.. There will be more opportunities through the year. Outside it's looking rather dark.. Stormy looking :)
  11. Afternoon all, Hope your enjoying your sunday - quite humid outside and overcast yet again 15.6c storm potential? We've entered a quiet time for weather, while I was hibernating i missed out all on the action, not to worry, fantastic 'poetic' translation AS - im not so good with words but yours are truely captivating! Have a wonderful time in scenic Pembrokeshire, brace for what ever the weather throws at you, it is a exposed place but its all part of the fun and tales to tell :good:
