Weather thread 2011

[TwistedReligion]

well I'm going to give it a go anyway.

MUD, RAIN, RAIN, MUD, LOVE IT I DO

[Mr.Tease]

Just out of interest, people have said that this time last year the forecast wasn't good. So when did you see that the weather WAS going to be good after all? And was last years thread this intense too?

I have to say I am holding out for good weather - this crappy run of bad weather we are having atm cannot stay here for long - can it?

[Bubblepopelectric]

Yep, I definitely remember this time last year the forecast was looking a bit crap, and there was a great deal of intensity as we watched 2 possible weather fronts fighting it out in the predictions. I don't think the forecast became good until a few days before the festival, and even then there was a threat of rain- I don't think we foresaw how nice it turned out to be.

Also on the wet years before last year the forecast tended to look really good right up until the last week, and then suddenly got downgraded to sh*t! It was so frustrating.

So a bad forecast at this point is not necessarily a disaster- they key is to hope for the best but prepare yourself for the worst!

What the titty bollocks is up with you lot?

1. Its sufficiently far away right now to say, its still more of an unknown than anything else.

2. NO F*CKIN RAIN. NO F*CKIN COMPROMISE. This thread was a behemoth of positivity last year. Seemed to do the trick. Lets ave at it again!

Keep the faith!!

Alright folks, I've not been around much this year, mostly due to having a 6 month old to deal with, but also cause I have a new job and I get less time to spunk around on t'internet. I keep looking at this thread in disbelief, what happend to no rain no compromise, come guys pull yourselves together.....

This is very similar to last year and we had a belter, thanks in part to the excellent French v German forecasting sytem but also thanks to some serious sacrifices made by the users of this forum,

I seem to remember making a deal with the rain gods that I'd cycle to work everyday in the pouring rain for a good dry Glastonbury and I did and it was... I have already made the same deal but have not made it public until now.

I want everyone else to start making some serious sacrifices to the rain gods.... NOW!

[Cooter]

right ok, I'll sacrifice my sunday roast tomorrow for a pot noodle, now that's got to get it sorted. It's going to hurt but I will do it.

[JoeyT]

Maybe we should all post photo's of the sun at last year's festival? Remind whoever it is that decides the weather.
