Default Late arrivals at the Meteorologists' ball

There must be a possibility of a meteorological 'Mornington Crescent'
game, but the rules are so fiendish and I can't see how the
Clausius-Clapeyron variation could be employed ..... ;-)

Hmmm. Interesting thought - what if you disqualified the Utsire manoeuvre
following the Irish Sea crossing? Would it work then?

I then went to college with a Peter Sweet!

.... I think you would have to invoke the non-reversible thermodynamic
rule, but that wasn't introduced into all versions of the game!

It was in the UK ('97) version though, so unless you're still playing the old
rules, it should count.

Apart from the Navier-Stokes variation.

Mr and Mrs Proth and their daughter Kay

Mr and Mrs Herze and their son Lew

Mr and Mrs Baillie and their not-quite-next-door neighbours Shannon and

And Welcome to Mr Fisher, now in his Forties, accompanied by his

Rottweiler FitzRoy, gosh that dog's got some German Bight. If his wife was
with him she'd be on the Baileys no doubt.

Hello,


Please welcome Claire Skyes but it's good to see the back of her
Auntie, Syclonic-Gloome.

And now someone we saw in the Severn valley, earlier this month:
Sir Virefludwarning.

Right now, though, we need to watch out for Auntie Syclone's
relations:
Merry D.O.Nal, Sir Cuylation.

If they overstay their welcome, we will see the return of
Major Drought, Walter Shortages and, maybe even, Jose Pypebann, next
summer.

What's more, our usual thundering guest can't come – you know, Nymbus.

Sorry to be politically incorrect, but Auntie Syclone has become
rather large lately, regularly becoming a blocking Auntie Syclone in
the doorway.

But let's make a quick diversion to the Astronomers' Ball, where
Claire Skyes is always very welcome, unlike her sister Cloe Dee Skyes.

Zola E. Clypes, Shelly Clypse and their father, Par Shelley Clypse
were big there in 1999.

Who would forget last year's celebrity guest, Madge Netique-Storms?

Then there were all those mums speaking out against plans to ban
pushchairs from the ballroom, last summer; yes, lots of Ma's in
opposition.

Next June, if you go out to the car park, you may even be lucky to
catch Venus in a transit.

Finally, for anyone familiar with weather stations, Orey's doing a
Physics degree. Yes, Orey Gone scientific. I hear she is working with
a Ray D.O. Frequency-Sensor.

I know someone who went to school with someone with the surname Darcy and
the initials RC; no prizes fro guessing what he was called by his peers. I
have also seen the name House associated with the initial P in a cricket
scorebook.

Bad news tonight. The Meteorologists Ball has had to re locate to

ramshackle surroundings. But no matter, look there's the Earl Of Trafalger,
chauffeured in a Plymouth by hisYorkshire born driver : "Shall we park by
the North 'ut Sire, or by the South'ut sire?"

Robert
PS : apologies for this.....Just had to do it.

The wife suggested a thread on the lines of the 'I'm sorry I haven't a
clue' prog.

One for starters:

Mr and Mrs Thanitwasyesterday and their dismal daughter, Claudia
Thanitwasyesterday


Any more?

...and the Batic girls, Anna Batic and Kat A Batic. Anna will take you up the
hill but it's straight down again with that cool girl Kat A. Watch out for
their father Ade A Batic-always hot under the collar. Have a drink at the
Iso Bar with Milli Bar. Watch out for those trouble makers Eddie and GusT.
Don't worry about Therm Al - all hot air. Have a chat with Anna Prop - she
might have her Welsh mate TAF with her.

That's enough
