Another poor run, for the love of God!

A ray of hope, this was JACKONE's forecast from a year ago today, and we know how that turned out. All time to change folks..

"So the pattern continuing from yesterday and no reason to change the higher than average chance of a wet festival, however nothing is set in stone and the transition to unsettled weather from the High Pressure next weekend, looks messy synopticall and the Pressure ensemble looks more promising than any of today's operational runs."

Seeing as the latest run shows that the high pressure over Greenland is disappearing can we perhaps hope the next runs we get to be more positive?

Or can we still get rubbish weather if without high pressure over it?

When I was onroute to Boston, there was an American couple in front of me on the plane, who where looking out of the window, the Air Hostess passed, they asked what country was it they could see Air Hostess replies Greenland, I beleive I'll check for you, air hostess then dissapears, American Couple start saying sounds about right it doesn't look nice, wouldn't like to live there etc. Air hostess then returns informs them it is in actual fact New foundland, The Americans then shut up and I bust out laughing :lol:

I think you may of had to be there, but it was funny!!!

Since then I've liked Greenland, until this high has got in the way :ph34r:

We can still get rubbish weather without the Greenland high.

It was shown breaking down on the 06z yesterday, only to reappear in the other runs. The main thing is that it's not nailed on - it can break down.

The other thing is that we're using the NFRNFC scale which looks bad because everything from wet mist to torrential downpour = fail. We're very much at the occasional shower end of the spectrum. Obviously still shite, but more along the lines of the small shite left in the toilet by the attractive lady before you, rather than falling in a longdrop shite.

Right, desparate times call for desparate measures folks.

Forget the Bavarian barmaids for now, we badly need this obscure, little known Austrian to take charge :

Well he had very good weather when the first invaded Russia ... and as for the winter following, who cares, it's only a crap historical analogy anyway, posted for unGerman 'humour' purposes :lol:

No war crimes were committed or Geneva Conventions broken in the creation of this post. Only crimes of bad taste! :ph34r:

    • Hey everyone! My friend and I are heading over from Sweden to Tramlines this summer. We had our eyes on a bunch of different festivals in the UK, but since most of them sold out before we even knew if we’d be able to make the trip, we finally settled on Tramlines. Why Tramlines, you might ask? Well, because we’re absolutely crazy about British music, and finding a festival like this (where you also don’t have to camp, a huge plus) made it impossible not to buy a ticket. The fact that I’ll also get to see The Enemy after beeing a fan for 19 years didn’t hurt either.   Since the app doesn’t work over here… is the Clashfinder schedule 100% accurate? What’s the venue like, and what does the map look like? Which sides of the stages are best to stand on? How long does it take to walk between stages? What are the prices usually for food and drinks? Is it easy to get to the festival from town? And is it easy to get back into town? Is it allowed to walk around with a beer anywhere in the venue, or are there those stupid fenced-off bar areas? As you can tell, I need all kinds of info, so please share your best tips and tricks to make this the best festival experience possible.  I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! 😃
    • A whole year of this!  What a time to be alive! This is going to be an incredible playlist.
    • Sorry matey.  Always a nightmare when you have a plan and something scuppers it.   Happy myself, fills a nice little gap for me. Lucky so far really.     I’d have preferred an alternative too to break up the 21 pilot set but shan’t complain 
    • Happy with the name, unhappy with what it did to the lineup. Now I have to choose between Florence Road and Beirut 😞 and still no alternative to 21p.
    • Odd and rare for RW indeed! I even remember reading in the past that one of the reasons for certain bands not appearing there, were similar demands being rejected. It’s weird that they play after Gorillaz and even more weird that there won’t be an alternative. All they had to do was push Pixies to later.
