I guess a spell of severe wintery weather would give everyone a boost
who
loves that sort of thing. It's bound to happen again one day. God
knows when
though as the 'bound to happen' phrase has been said by southerners
for
years now

Don't you agree with me that, on the top of all this, the simple most
annoying thing in the world is botched winter forecasts such as 2002,
2005, pictures of polar bears before Big Ben(!), etc., etc., etc..

England 0 - 0 Holland, by the way. Both teams played exceptionally
badly, and the time to oust Eriksson is upon us.

I agree it is annoying when a forecast of cold and snow fails to materialise
and I agree about the polar bears/bigben thing, ive never made any secret of
the fact I hate those headlines.
It's not the forecasts or forecasters that annoy me though, it's just the
sh*t weather.
I guess the moral is to expect nothing and then you will never be
dissapointed. Either that or move to Canada :-p

As for the football, it was rubbish and all the talk of how wright Phillips
should play in place of Beckham and yet he misses to gilt edged chances in
the first half. Good to see Sven kept with his record of weird
substitutions. Why bring those two on at the end? Only a friendly I guess

To me, forecasting a winter like 2002 TO SMALL CHILDREN, and then NOT
even REMOTELY bothering to apologise when it all goes truly belly-up,
is more than enough to drive a sane, competent, amicable, social person
like me to the end of his tether.

Everything was fine on the forum. I was getting on well with both
admins and general users. Then I decided to make a run for an apology,
and, some fifteen minutes later, I was banned!:-o :-(

Beckham is a tired has-been anyway, and he should go while he has a
shred of dignity left.

His performance in Portugal last summer was truly dire.:-(

Yep.

This sort of thing is a risky business. I recall Hoddle playing by the
same card in Euro 96, and that ended in disaster, likewise!:-o :-(

Well, I guess it could be argued that winter isn't over yet. I'm not

got it wrong, when a forecast goes tits up.

Let me just say that, as is now, hopefully, anyway, widely known, I
have made PEACE with Brian Gaze via e-mail over those events now.
However, that said, I will say this, anyway:
1. There was NO apology - certainly there was nothing direct - on the
front page of The Weather Outlook website anytime AFTER that 2002
winter, and, till this day, there has not been one PUBLIC message of
direct apology for that winter. HOWEVER, I say again, I HAVE
straightened this out now with Brian via e-mail, and we have - I hope!
- a mutual understanding for each other.
2. In the winter of 2002, Brian - AND OTHERS(!) - kept on saying that
"it will come cold next week" and "it will come cold next week", only
for NOTHING to EVER happen!:-( :-( At least NOW, the kettle of fish is
very much different.:-)
3. I know NOW what I did NOT KNOW before, and, although this does not
*really* apply to Brian or The Weather Outlook, my awareness was that
the 2002 winter forecasts were really the EXPERT VERIFICATION of MY
DREAMS(!) once again about to come true. This was as, obviously quite
starkly, opposed to a set of exceptionally poorly-organised forecasts
by the likes of Tom "campus kid" Presutti and Gavin "I truly believed"
Partridge, not to mention badger "I forecast cold weather EVERY
winter", and the less said about Gary Sarre, the better.:-(

I am not the guy that I have been demonised as. Nor is Matty H, as, I
can see from here, you, like the other admins on TWO who I am in touch
with, are sensible, rational, decent-minded people, who do a good job.

I hope that one day the negotiations as to my return to The Weather
Outlook discussion forums can begin. It was allowed with Codge, except
that I, contrary to the incessant lies of Justin Williams', am most
certainly NOT Codge. Furthermore, as late last year has proved, not to
mention *some* of my posts on this particular forum now, I am also
indeed capable of engaging in sensible, rational, logical, coherent,
decent-minded weather and climatological discussion.

The thing is, there are many people out there doing forecasts. You have the
respected ones, the likes of Brian Gaze, Andrew Bond, the Met Office, who
all do a long range forecast.

You have respected short to mid range forecasters such as Will Hand, Paul
Bartlett to name but two and I personally think expecting apologies off
anyone for a forecast based on their own opinions through model
interpretations, is asking a bit much. An acknowledgement of error yes, but
not an apology.
The MetO would be aplogising on a weekly basis if their countryfile forecast
were taken as gospel :)

Paul Bartlett is "short to mid range" forecasting?:-o He wrote the
winter of 2005 - this current one - off in February, 2004!:-o

and I personally think expecting apologies off

yes

This would suffice, but, and again I am sorry if he is reading this,
this did not happen on The Weather Outlook after the "winter" of 2002,
although Tom Presutti and Gavin Partridge *did*, I recall, emit *some*
kind of "acknowledgement of error" on the website forum. However, I can
never recall this appearing on certainly Tom Presutti's website.:-o :-(
Tom says that he has issued BOTH "an acknowledgement of error" AND an
apology, and I now, KINDLY, of course:-), call on him to help me to
verify this, but so far there is no sign of him and his co-operation.
Gavin though remains as stubborn as a mule about absolutely
everything.:-(

, but
not an apology.

Compare the forecasted:
-"a repeat of 1947",
with the eventual, poignant reality:
-the mildest winter since 1998!:-o :-(

forecast

You do have a point there. However, note my comments just about the
winter of 2002.

Actually Will, looking back I may have taken your post somewhat out of
context? Hope so anyway but the lack of smilies on this stupid newsgroup
doesnt help matters. I like to think that we have had decent, if rare
contact since we had our row and whilst I may sometimes disagree with your
comments, I don't recall seeing any that were abusive at all, as you
suggest.

Just to reiterate though, you were not nearly banned.

Some people seem to think I make the banning decisions on TWO. I don't. They
are a team decision, I just tend to be more vocal than some of my more
refined colleagues, who have the sense to keep a low profile usually :-p

The derogatory comments on here about TWO mean nothing to us anyway. It's
always the same people, with the same tired old arguments. The forum is
strong and succesfull and whilst I can understand that some of the threads
or comments on there are not to your taste, your input on there is looked
out for i'm sure.

Anway, back to the job of co-demon, banning more poor undeserving members
from the hell hole of TWO ------ sarcasm ;-)

Col, most seem to be people who have been banned from TWO forum for some

About a year ago I nearly got banned myself :-O for argueing
(scientifically)
with "big Matty H" (he likes that description :-)). Problem for the mods
was
that my arguments were slowly winning people over and there was a danger
that
the group could split. But to be honest, life is too short and I just
didn't
have the energy or the time to keep up the discussion. Matt and I had an
e-mail
discussion and we resolved our differences in an adult way. I must also
say that
at no stage did I personally insult or threaten anyone, I would never
stoop
*that* low.

Off to watch the footie now, bring on the Dutch ... he he he

One day it may be scientifically possible (personally I doubt it) but until

"The only axes I have to grind on here with anyone are being done through

Legal procedure! For what ? That just about sums you and your ilk up. That

GET THIS VERY CLEAR, YOU ARE A MODERATOR/TRAFFICKWARDEN ON A "QUACK, LYING ,
TWO-BIT FORECASTING AGENCY. THAT HAS YET TO GET A LRF CORRECT IN IT'S VERY

As for that stupid.........remark about Will

"Your account is active. You are not banned at all"

Are you that twisted that you failed to read what Will actually wrote?

"About a year ago I nearly got banned myself "

He never said he was banned! You stupid front for a lie mongering

Yet I defended you "Big boy Matty". I replied that you, had yet to achieve

"someone coming round yours and blowing your head off with a sawn-off
shotgun", TWICE. It's NOT nice, and he has my full backing.

I would have thought once would do the trick? :D

In case you don't know, Andrew Bond has reported you for your threat
against him.

Damien, you are not welcome in this ng with your anti-capitalist crap. If
you can't realise that no-one will defend you, no one will support you, and
you can't take the most blatant of hints, then perhaps you were right to be
excluded from "The other place".

PS Can you show evidence of Mr Bond actually reporting Lawrence to the
police? Hmmm second thoughts, don't bother. I think we should start an
anti-pollution drive, and you're the first target.

(Andrew if you're reading this perhaps you would like to confirm or deny
this statement of Beddy-bye).

Actually Will, looking back I may have taken your post somewhat out
of
context? Hope so anyway but the lack of smilies on this stupid
newsgroup
doesnt help matters.

So that's why people are banned, imprper use of smilies :-) :-) :-)


There there there you Sonder commando


That'd be Sonderkommando. Been watching BBC2's recent series, have we?

But that's beside the point. Far be it for me to criticise the
much-respected weather forecaster, Will, his claims of being 'nearly
banned' from TWO are way off the mark.

Trolling scrotes get banned. Will is clearly not one of those, indeed
his reputation on TWO is massive and he's as well respected there as he
is here. His input and vast knowledge is always welcome - even when his
opinion is opposite to that of some members/mods.

It's clear to me that the mythical reputation of TWO as nothing but a
non-thinking, yes-man forum has a life of its own.

Question: when is a death threat not a death threat?

Answer: when it's the above.:-(

I will at least *try* to *pretend* that you never said that.

Damien, you are not welcome in this ng with your anti-capitalist
crap.

Some HALF A BILLION+(!) of my COUNTRYMEN DIED because of crapitalism!

If you want to continue your decadent, submisison to the ruling
classes, Blue boy, then FINE!:-( We have a NATION - let alone an
ENTIRE BLOC - to reclaim!:-o :-(

If
you can't realise that no-one will defend you, no one will support
you, and
you can't take the most blatant of hints, then perhaps you were right
to be
excluded from "The other place".

1. I did have defenders,
2. I did have supporters,
3. I could "take the most blatant of hints",
4. I was WRONG to be banned "from 'The other place'".:-(

I was banned for bothering a homosexual-capitalist user.

Don't talk about things that you don't know about!:-o :-( :-(

PS Can you show evidence of Mr Bond actually reporting Lawrence to
the
police? Hmmm second thoughts, don't bother.

Fine. I posted the link somewhere else, anyway. Just saw it about five
minutes ago.

I think we should start an
anti-pollution drive, and you're the first target.

So that's what Damien is on about. Bondai has reported me to the police for
apparent death threats? . All in the fanciful mad mad world of Damien. Who
is the real person behind the fake persona? The man who is trying to steal
our News group.

Henry, I knew about the role of the Sonderkommando many many years ago. The
fact I spelt the name incorrectly was down to laziness x tiredness .

Ah-ah, he's ALLEGEDLY reported you, Lawrence. I don't think it ever
happened. But until Mr Bond wanders this way and corroborates it, I
wouldn't worry too much.

Why would an independent weather forum need publicity?

I have had some ups and downs with Two too :-)
I got a bit ****ed off a few years ago when they first started locking
posts if there was a hint of anything being duplicated from a previous
post. There are some good people on the site that i passed observations
to last year when we got a covering of snow. There are a few who who
give the impression that your not welcome on the site.So i have got the
message and kept off.
