<Pulls up permanent seat in the weather thread>

Morning weather watchers - how are we all this fine year? Except it's NOT fine is it?

It's shite really, weather wise. Snow is crap with no redeeming features (I don't want bullshit about 'but it's pretty' etc, etc - when you've seen one lot of 'send us your pictures' on the BBC website, you've seen them all. I hate snow and reserve the right to) and it was pissing it down all night.

As some of you may or may not know, I get a little bit tetchy when it comes to the weather for Glastonbury. This year, as you're ALL aware (I may take an advert out in every major national newspaper - the Stourbridge News has already covered my plight as it was one of those weeks with very little news, no cats had been caught up trees that week) I'm NOT going to Glastonbury.

BUT, the weather thread helped me pass the time. So I'm going to continue looking and ranting at the result, especially if it's not predicting wall-to-wall sunshine (even when it's night time - I'm unreasonable) and 30 degree heat.

IF I was going, that would be the conditions I would be DEMANDING this year. I don't want any of you lucky bastards to suffer just because I'm not going. Surely the thought of a Langdale-less Glasto is punishment enough? (No sarky replied to this thanks.... )

So, rain can f**k off. Again. It's not 'fun' in the mud, it's crap. The festival is still awesome, but just less awesome than if it's nice and sunny.

I've got my fingers crossed for you.

[Langdale Wolf]

That is incrediabley charitable of you LW, surely with you on our side the weather gods would not dare cheat us!

[3puddings]

Oh I'm glad we're discussing the weather already! It's never too early!! Has anyone got access to any statistics? Like how many wet Glasto's in a row there's been? Maybe we could find out if we're statistically due a dry one (I think yes)

Thanks Langdale Wolf, it wouldn't be the same without you coaching Scorcher FC!!

I've done the same ones as you then, bar 2000. I remember my mates coming back from 2003 browner than if they'd spent a month backpacking round Spain, that was the last dry (scorchio!) one I think, I want some of that ass!!

[mr_smiss]

Just had a call from the chairman and apparently my Scorchers FC contract has been renewed for season 09.

(There goes the degree now the weather thread is up and running.)

[usatoglas]

as my sister says "I want a scorcher wth sun sun sun ...... but not too hot"

i had to laugh

but

its gonna be full of sunshiney days. huzzah

[Ed209]

From the ones I've been to:

2000 - mostly dry, a bit of rain on the Thursday

2004 - Thursday HOT. Friday HOT. Saturday & Sunday WET.

2005 - Thursday HOT. Then a Biblical flood. Friday to Sunday sunny but mostly soaking underfoot.

2007 - Shite. Wet. Muddy. And it just got worse. Yuck.

2008 - Mostly fine, except some rain on Thursday night through until Friday afternoon. Otherwise okay.

You're due wall-to-wall sunshine.

[Ed209]

Just to add to that list I seem to remember

2002- mostly dry. Not scorching and fairly overcast but perfectly pleasant

2003- HOT HOT HOT HOT, sunday - the odd downpour especially as the headliners finished

[Singularity]

Hope sun. Think sun.

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun And Sun!

"I know a place, where the sun hits the sky!"

[stripeass85]

If every single person programs the thought that it will be absolutely glorious weather for the whole of glastonbury it will happen!!! So whenever you get a bad thought about rain, banish it with hot sunshine!!

[Kaye]

i think its going to rain, there about a 90 % chance it will.

[Langdale Wolf]

I actually read an article earlier this year that stated that "the Gulf Stream was revving itself up" which would mean a warm and sunny summer! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

[mr_bizarre]

I predict it will get a little cooler at night after the sun has set

[Langdale Wolf]

[mr_bizarre]

Unacceptable.

The only regulation in temperature should be down to excretion of sweat after too much alcohol intake.

[Langdale Wolf]

But we need the cooler nights so we can appreciate the sweltering days that we'll get

Why do you sweat after drinking to much alcohol? Is it cos you're dancing like a loon?

[Steve P]

Welcome back the Weather thread!

Well at least with me not going this year, the rollercoaster of emotions that is this thread shall not effect my sleep quite so much. Here's hoping you have good weather (not to good though, that's being saved for 2010 )

You'll appreciate the sweltering days when you get home and spend the next fortnight in an ice bath.

As for the sweating - yes - excessive dancing and basically being over-zealous and stupid.
