Osmposm, you're absolutely right, I had been at Auntie's sherry last night and the Bristol Cream always brings out the worst in me. RJS's input is always scientific and well reasoned, I think I was having a moment due to some of the mocking and lets face it, insulting (quackery comes to mind) contributions from some posters. Apologies to Roger for my drunken misunderstanding, I think it was the right ammunition but most certainly the wrong target. BTW, you should have seen that post before OON got hold of it, something about my good woman and a telephone box! Kids, don't do sherry!!!

Man, you definitely know your stuff, but do you not think that your last paragraph is patronising or condescending? You have already made your point about the narrow minded scientific community and the alleged conspiracy to stifle new and radical ways of thinking, but the great irony is that you have joined their gang!!! Can't we just wait and see? Is there any need for someone as you to denigrate MB's forecast? When it goes all tits up, pull it to pieces by all means, but for now as an intelligent man, I am shocked by your attitude and would hazard a guess that MB would be offended by this, after all, its only a forecast. BTW.... I fancy a weeks surfing at Woolacombe Bay at the end of April, surfs up? Sunshine? Anyone???? METO or MurcieBoy or RJS or GFS or....... Toss a coin...... What needs to be remembered is when the forecast was made.........

I read this thread and wonder...... What is it that makes intelligent people attempt to ridicule someone for the only reason that they disagree with what they say? He says "big storm", they say "no......" for many different and sometimes, but not always valid reasons, and thats the point...... But when Einstein's alleged IQ is brought in to this it all turns into a lot of ugly and very unhelpful dog biscuits. For Christ's sake, judge the man on his forecast and nothing more.... for now. Not that it matters, but I've been a member and an avid reader of this website for over six years now, and I've found the information here more than helpful on a number of occasions (nod to Steve Murr and Yamkin!!!!). Anyway, can we please judge MurcieBoys forecast after the proposed dates and not before? I never post so I have to say a big thankyou to the hosts and mods of this site, first call for weather. I raise my glass to you. Edit........ Dave? The Eye in the Sky...... Really enjoy your posts mate, best thing about this site is seeing you lot making monkey's out of the media!!!! And you do.

I don't understand the sarcasm directed towards MurcieBoy, he makes a VERY bold forecast which will stand or fall by the 5th of February. He provides no evidence or explanation for the forecast so we have no way to debunk it, yet. Let us see. Steve Murr's contribution (minus the pub wind up) is certainly the most pertinant, "where does the energy come from?". Nevertheless, lets just wait and see and then let the dogs off the lead!!

Stratford, East London, light rain, 7 degees. For the record I ain't been sledging since 83. We need snow.
