Default How many people?

Secretly follow the CFS but are too embarrassed to admit to.
I have to say I never learn my lesson with that computerised version of
Derek Accora. Actually comparing the GFS to a quack spiritualist medium is
very apt. You know they both spout rubbish even so you still want to
believe.

Hold on there's a Scandinavian high trying to pass on a message..........the
money is under the mattress.

I think it's that of all the models it's the one that goes furthest
ahead (or at least dares to make it public) that makes it addictive
We all want to crystal ball gaze but T+384?
Well it's fun...

I admit sadly that I do go by it to 144, after that it is not too bright
so I have a little cry and switch off. Day by day comparisons of its
output at 384 are amusing to compare though - and it all looks so damn
logical! Though on very general type I don't think it is all that bad
once you get to know its many weaknesses.
Still the heart beats faster when MS 10C (850MB) is shown over UK - daft
I know.
Dreams are better than nothing though.
Cheers

Snip

Actually, it hasn't been that bad the last few weeks, unfortunately. It has
been pretty consistent with the high pressure to the South.
So I've been told, never look at it myself.
