I noticed the stadium looked damp when the coverage started.

That was about it, just that little shower before it started. No deluge

and no rain during so Corbyn was wrong in the end.

Fantastic show, shame about Macca but I kind of understand why they

stuck him in.

By the way Dave I never saw it out to the end; what was the issue with

McCartney besides the fact his voice has gone?







Spot on! And his sell by date expired some years ago.



jim, Northampton

Can you elaborate on what you mean by sell by date?

The date by which he should have been removed from public display.

That is a very feeble reply. If it's based on his dreadful ability to forecast more than a day ahead maybe this lot should be included as well

You effing moron.

You gave a forecast that was wishy washy?
Like the MetOffices' humble attempt to put the Olympics on a schedule to miss the bad weather?

And you only got it out last week?

I am not surprised he has nothing to do with the lot of you.

You do realise your bacon was saved by Saola I hope. Because when those two China Sea storms reach cyclosis you will have some more rain.

That's where his deluge went and if the Met Office saw them coming I'm a China clipper.

There was nothing on the MetO charts to indicate even the first of them until noon on the 28th and we not allowed into the inner sanctum got to see that when, may I ask?

You all want your arses kicking. And I am not talking about a none too gentle nudge either! You self congratulatory blighters.

(I am trying to be nice. That's why I substituted the word blighters for *******s.)

Yes it was hopeless Michael. The 29.8C recorded here on Wednesday was
0.2C out. Awful for a four day out forecast. Must try harder.

LOL.

I had to reread Lawrence's comment to make sure I was on the right
wavelength with my first comment. Thanks Col for putting my mind at rest.

I don't want to rain on your and Col's parades but if you look hard enough you'll see it was Dave Cornwell who raised the issued of McCartney performance , I just being a friendly chap asked what the issue was. However Dave never emails me or replies nowadays -it must have been something I've said.

Well, I did you the honour of replying to your original off topic
question. Then you decided to go round the ruddy estates and revert back
to the original topic. I don't know what you're on, but I'm ruddy
thankful my doctor hasn't prescribed it for me.
