Agreed - but as some people are reading this at work (like me), it does draw the eye to my PC of anyone who's walking past at the time; I think that was more the point that some people were trying to make!

Not really suitable work viewing is it! :blink:

Not too busy to go chasing the idiot around the internet though ;)

someone linked to it and others were referencing it. I simply referenced it myself thru that link, so I was working off what he's posted and not others interpretations of it.

But to get back to the REAL point - which no one is trying to defend - what place do images that are being posted only for their sexism 'value' have to do with the weather?

As I've said, this is not a sex-starved adolescent boys website, but a website that is used by both men and women. Many women who read posts here find such things offensive, but the silly little boys are so wrapped up with their hands round their cock they're unable to see their actions for what they are.

I'm amazed how incredibly thick some people here are being about this. If you want to look at pictures of women go find another site to do it on.

If any of the above offends you, then this website is not for you. Bye.

It doesnt seem the poster in question was posting anything indecent though, shame, his post will be missed on here but if you want to read any more of his good weatehr info then head over to http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/69427-glastonbury-2011/page__st__102, there are a few good posters there that explian as this weather jargon,

Doubt the forcast on the site it self is all that difference to anywhere else though

My work in yeovil use the same forcast as the Navy (as we build and fly helicopters) and its predicting slight cloud and short light showers this weekend. But that the longest it goes and yeovils about 40 mins from shepton.

Seriously never understood why pics of German woman where relevant to the weather thread.

Regardless of the reasons why they were posted or the clique sentiments behind them do you seem them anywhere else of the site? No..

Jebus, lord of the rings, it's the f**king weather thread, and currently being viewed by 260 people.

If you want to go head to head with Mod and owner of the site piss off to wibble and start a thread on sexism and why its ok to show pic's of woman with their puppies hanging out covered with paint...

This is serious! this is weather! this is bloody Glastonbury!

It was getting bloody tedious wading through loads of photos of naked flesh to see the latest forecasts, and people have had a fair amount of warning to be fair. And no wonder some people might take offence to them!

in all fairness its kinda not is it? check out the netweather forecast, its almost entirely dry. :D:D

and if their forecast is as good as the ones I've checked in the past, expect it to piss it down.

Meanwhile I see devonhammer isn't giving up the lies. Oh dear how sad never mind. I guess that's all he has.

i dont think anybody is disputing what you are saying here, we're just trying to relate it to devonhammer. as he didnt post the pictures in question it seems strange that he is the one 'taking the blame' as it were. (i'm at work so not going to go back through the thread to check but others have indicated that it wasnt him that posted the pictures)

read back on this thread - I have already explained why he was warned.

If a bunch of immature arseholes are going to try and using empty-headed bluster to try and justify their sexism and to try and get me to back down about objecting to it, I'm not going to bend to their unthinking and selfish view, I'm going to do what is necessary to make it stop.

    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.

    • So, what would the weather have been like at this year's festival?   It's been shambolic around here, the rain is soul destroying and showing no sign of letting up, bar odd sporadic days here and there. Disgraceful for June.   What's it like down there? Have we had a lucky escape?...
