Stop throwing golfballs at me! Not only large hail but
densely distributed which I think is rather unusual.
Nice to see you here again, Wijke. I had a colleague at work
called John Hagel, a name which was of Dutch rather than German
origin, so he said. I asked him what it meant and he told me. It
seems unusual for someone to be called "hail". On the other hand the
surname Snow is well-known in the UK, as are Sleet, Gale, Winter,
Winters, Summers and Spring.

I can't get it to play, either in Quicktime or Windows Media Player, nor
in Firefox or IE - it tells me that it needs some plug-in or something
that is 'not on this server'. Anybody else have problems?

Hello Tudor,

Yes, "Hagel" is a common name in Holland. We also know surnames as Zomer
(=Summer); Winter (Winter); but never saw a Lente (=Spring) passing by.
However Herfst (= autumn) does exist as surname. Also Storm (= gale). Sneeuw
(=snow) not very common but exists. Nice game this is... finding weather
related surnames .

My machine attempted to play it in RealPlayer but said I
needed some extra software, called DivX, which I was quite easily able
to download and install. It took about 10 minutes all told. I think
the software only applies to RealPlayer.
