That David Shukman has done several reports on the recent extreme weather that amuse/infuriate me. You know the one were he gleefully tells the viewer that the jet stream this winter has been working like a giant weather factory/machine churning out storm after storm on a conveyor belt and firing them at the UK...

David, welcome to the world of the weather, its always worked like that, and thankfully will always continue to work like that, as long as the sun is there to keep it going.

Apologies for that last bit about the sun, I nearly got caught up in anology speak for a moment...
