I have little sympathy for Daily Express readers who actually believe
their ludicrous headlines.

Although his voice makes you fall asleep, I do like his 'down to earth' comments. I follow his Thursday updates every week.

As you know Dave no retail business misses a trick when it comes to stocking up.

I remember Comets several years ago piling high electric fans in preparation for the UKMO 'BBQ' summer infamous prediction. Of course they never sold them and went bankrupt shortly afterwards.

Hmm, about as accurate as much of what you post here.



The BBQ summer forecast was in 2009, while Comet went into

administration in November 2012.

Do you really believe I was linking their demise to the sale of fans?

As your sock puppet master would say.. "idiot".

But they like others will pitch their stock upgrades to reputable forecasters , so that lets UKMO of the hook ;-)

To be fair Lawrence, that was the implication of your post.

More crap from the crapmeister.


I don't have a "sock puppet master".


==============================
The underlying problem is that he (Lawrence Jenkins) clearly doesn't have a
clue as to the meaning of the term, which he obviously picked up at the
Humpty Dumpty School of Etymology. It's rather like a toddler picking up on
a dirty word for the first time and can't then resist blurting it out at
every opportunity, oblivious to its irrelevance.

I agree - Col is being much too kind, but kindness is a rare commodity in
these parts and perhaps to be encouraged.
