Time to grow up Will, You really are getting carried away by your
fetish and you are, basically, talking rot.

That's a pretty despicable response even by your standards - claiming
the moral high ground and cheapening the language of bereavement, all in the
cause of your obsession with and hatred of Will. We all know why you can't
stand him - he saw through you. You're pathetic and should be utterly
ashamed of yourself. Just go, and take your poison with you.

Tudor you do realise that the response was from 2012!!!

Somebody seems to be trying to stir up trouble, just ignore.

So you think snow melting is the saddest sight in the world, just like the
smug idiot who first posted it ?

Everyone knows - or at least should do - that what Will said wasn't
intended to be taken literally but was a piece of hyperbole.

You do realise that this argument is 3 years old, don't you?

Col

It seems to have been Jim Cannon who first revived the thread. I suspect
that he didn't realise that he was responding to a post from 2012, at
any rate I'd like to think so. Those using Google Groups often seem to
be caught like that. (Having said that, I originally didn't notice that
the thread was three years old either.)

If he thought it was hyperbole why didn;t he end his message with a wink ;-)

Socks have no politics they can be either left or right. However reverse reg is an exception to that rule being a sock and having an apparently left-wing view (whatever that means nowadays)

I think you'll find that although Tudor and I have met and spoke once by telephone he disagrees with most of all that I say. yet we both know neither of us are bad people . So therefore every know and again he does lose his patience with me and tells me to shut up FFS but always in a gentlemanly civil manor.


But a "defender of Jenkins" what have I done?

Is it the AGW views that I hold
Is it because of my men in tights at Beaulah heights episode and that's held against me -thankfully it wasn't held against me on that day.
Is it because I get so annoyed with UKMO exaggerating every weather event and sometimes point that out.

Or is it simply my self accepted poor grammar which has always been used as a way of belittling any point I've tried to make.

Or is it purely my sad attempts at humour.

Yes I stand accused on all points.

Actually John I too hate to see snow retreat like a defeated army. It must be something to do with our age group both being born 51/52. I do realise that at that point Will will be eager to dismiss intensely any other similarities.

Nope I love snow and always will and people like that are saddened to see it melt as here in the UK its such a huge effort for the weather conditions to align, produce it and sustain it.

Of course as we all are hurtling towards our dotage maybe if we start to get consistent snowfall every winter and slip and hurt ourselves a few times with our mobility severely hampered due to the snow/ice conditions, then the love affair with snow will be sorely tested.

Yeah, I seem to be a bit late coming to this, for one reason or another. Not enough weather to divert one's attention. 8/8 Sc again. No peace for the wicked.

I remember one day in - I think - January 2010 when I managed to slip
over twice in one day on snow that had been compressed into ice by cars
driving over it. (Once on the pavement while crossing someone's drive
and once when crossing the road.) Luckily I suffered nothing worse than
bruising. And it still hasn't cured me of my love of snow!

There seem to have been a lot of USWers born at that time, in my case 1951.

WE were, of course, lucky enough to age during a musical revolution, and at a time when top bands would play outside the major cities.

Genesis, Yes, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull (a personal favourite and possibly still the loudest band I've ever seen) Fairport Convention (before Sandy Denny died) Queen (twice!) Elvis Costello, The Ramones all played the "Wints" in Penzance. The place is now a restaurant, now doubt run by a celebrity chef.

The 1st time Queen came they charged £25! - to quote
"Caravan were always a popular draw locally and visited the venue on several occasions. On one occasion John was offered a support band for the sum of £25. As he was told the drummer came from 'down your way' he decided to take a chance. The support band were of course Queen and six months later they were well on their way to becoming a household name. Queen would return the favour in 1974 by playing at the Gardens when they were topping the charts."

Those were the days my friend, and as for CD replacing vinyl! It was important always to have the coolest album on show as you walked around, and the artwork, well. I now nostalgically browse through the Vinyl in retro shops.

As an excuse for all this I should point out that the 2 bottles of champagne (well strictly speaking sparkling wine) went down well.

Oh, the weather's been OK as well.
