I'm sorry, but we're having a serious meteorological discussion using the tried and tested Formed A Band notation. You seem to be under the misguided impression that it's OK to post random pictures of pretty girls. Where's the science in that?

The Dutch pics are of the girls Robbie Earle gave tickets to for the games in South Africa. Then they used them for some sort of flash marketing campaign, and he got sacked.

Not sure what they're trying to sell, but I'm buying it.

Looks like they're trying to sell tits.

Erm, not too sure if you're being serious or not, but after looking at pages 106/7 it seemed the order of the day was posting up pictures of good looking Germans. Thought I'd include some Dutch lovelies in the interest of fairness. I apologize profusely and enjoy your A band notions.

Sorry, the background is that someone posted a link to a very good German weather site. This prompted pictures of Germans (men at the time). This led to LW commenting that during good forecasts we get happy and post pictures of Germans. This in turn led to Formed a Band suggesting that good weather should be signified with Germans while bad weather should be signified with French. If the outlook is mixed then you might get away with an average looking Swiss person although no-ones tried this yet, so you could get flamed.

The safest bet on here is to only predict good weather and add a picture of a German lovely.

And remember - All German, No Compromise

I left this thread at about half 9 last night with the usual peaceful talk of GFS and general nerdy stuff. I come back to it on my lunch now and I can only surmise that YOU'VE ALL GONE MAD!

However, by the look of the photos, I assume the forecasts are good.

In keeping with the theme, I hope the weather is hot and dry - so my skin turns (Eva) Braun.

All very exciting as the festival comes (Miroslav) Klose.

We want to be getting a fingering from the Azores. Some forecasts have got this, so too soon to say, but quite possible. :)

and will everyone STOP with Finnish, Dutch, Brazilian or any other nationality of girl that is not French or German.

Met Office:

UK Outlook for Monday 21 Jun 2010 to Wednesday 30 Jun 2010:

Most areas of the UK should remain largely dry throughout next week with some decent sunny periods at times. Northern and northwestern areas are likely to be cloudiest and are more likely to see occasional rain, although there will be plenty of dry and bright weather too. Although most other places will be mainly dry, isolated light showers may develop at times. Temperatures should be near normal throughout much of the period, and it should feel pleasantly warm in any prolonged periods of sunshine, but will feel cooler on the coasts. Indications are that there these mainly dry conditions will continue to the end of June, with temperatures remaining close to average for the time of year in most places.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
