Quick question: what's the point of making these new threads once one gets a bit long in the teeth?

 

If it's to make searching through a thread easier, surely having tens of threads counteracts that?

 

Baffled 

 

Oh and Merry Christmas

Snow! Snow! What the f*** is that? Still lovely here. Spring is sprung...the grass is riss...I wonder where that birdy is.....:)Blimey! I didn't even write the 'F' word and the filter got me. :O Edited February 22, 2014 by Keraunophile

It's not......the board of directors are in the process of re writing the rule book and it looks at this stage as if a winner could be decided on how much salt the local authorities have left in their depot....I've checked with MK council and I understand stocks are at the max of 3,000 tonnes here so unless anyone can beat me on that I've won

There is no need to be baffled or sarcastic - all the regional threads are run for approximately 40 pages, if they get too much longer than that it takes ages for the pages to load especially for members who are accessing the site from a mobile device...we always link to the previous thread to make it easy for people to catch up so I really don't see what your problem is !

Hating all the little digs on here at the moment.  Going to take some time out.

Been a lovely day today, thought it was meant to be windy?

It's been lovely here too, tonight into tomorrow is when this region will see some patchy light rain and gusty wind ...

 

 

...nothing like as bad as in Wales, Ireland and Scotland though !

Nah....don't do that Chilly, just ignore them. The input from all the nice people on here cancels out the sarcastic digs a hundred fold.

3 million tonnes left in london

 

It's the amount left for your borough or local council.....not the whole of London  

 

Anyway the grit will be obsolete soon as studies in the US have found that Beet juice, cheese brine and garlic salt all prove to be as effective as road salt at temperatures well below zero and without the environmental impacts or cost of rock salt ....

...the brine comes with a warning though.... "may cause Pizza cravings"

in that case, due to government cuts, my borough couldn't afford any this year, so they have the 2 grammes left over from lasy year.

Wasn't there an earth quake this week in the bristol channel?

 

The Bristol Channel floods, which occurred on 30 January 1607, resulted in the drowning of a large number of people and the destruction of a large amount of farmland and livestock. Recent research has suggested that the cause may have been a tsunami.

The cause of the flood remains disputed, insofar as contemporary explanations blamed God. Subsequent scientific explanations ignored much of the written evidence and blamed bad weather, until recent research suggested a tsunami. Traditionally it had been believed that the floods were caused by a storm surge, a combination of meteorological extremes and a high tide.

Written evidence from the time describes events that were similar to those that unfolded in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, including the sea receding before the wave arrived, a wave of water that rushed in faster than men could run, sparks coming off the top of the wave, and a crowd of people who stood and watched the wave coming towards them until it was too late to run.

Update Coney Hall flood, came back from the pub earlier 5   five fire engines working on the flooding.

Hi Ali,

 

Just a quick thanks for reacting quickly to my post, earlier this afternoon. I really felt that the 2 posts I quoted were unacceptable and as this is a family orientated forum, we should be guarding against the use of this sort of language and smutty innuendo.

If some members feel I've overreacted, I'm sorry and I certainly didnt intend to cause an "atmosphere", on the thread, at all.

But in light of certain problems there have been recently on the Regional Thread and on the forum in general, standards and behaviour need to be maintained, for the good of everyone, poster and viewer alike.

 

Ali, think you have a thankless task trying to keep order on this thread but you always manage do so with a smile and some considerable understanding too.

 

Regards,

Tom.

Thank you Tom - and for understanding why I also deleted your post which quoted the one I deleted and the other that I edited - can I just ask all of you to please hit the report button when you see something that you think needs moderating or bringing to the teams attention - it makes our job so much easier as we only have one post to deal with rather than having it quoted and then having more to edit or delete.

 

Hopefully we can get back to happy regional weather based chat in here now and move on from some of the issues there have been recently 

[Charltonkerry]

Not certain what's been happening on here today, and to be fair, I don't want to either. Like MK says let's get back to happy weather related regional thread, or in my case the usual rubbish of non weather related posts :-)

I don't normally speak about the football games I go to, I do mention the fact that I am going, but today if I get this right will be both weather related and football related.

Today I went to see Charlton at the valley where the drainage has collapsed and the water table is only about 10mm below the playing surface, knowing in my heart we where going to lose, but I thought why not go, its a beautiful day, the sun was shining, birds singing and the pitch well I think you can say it was mud, with a few patch of grass, actually reminded me of Surreys pictures of his garden. The game kicked off off eventually half time come round, and the Charlton and QPR Down syndrome teams come onto the pitch, these lads mostly youngster are the absolute highlight, they love the applause and lap it up, they are really fantastic, and be honest this is the second time this year they have been presented to a large crowd. Anyway the game if you where a Charlton fan ended happily with us snatching a 92 minute goal, great joy erupted and I got a kiss from the 18stone bloke who sits behind me when we scored, also got a lovely hug from my boy, he never done that before, all this love and excitement just made me wonder and I don't want this to sound condescending but will the fans of the big TV clubs ever know what today feels like - pure joy, we have suffered a lot of negativity over the past few years & today, no matter how small & insignificant in the football world & possibly even our season, was just a brilliant feeling.

Have a great night what's left of it, and enjoy yourself, I have the wine slipped down a treat.
