Weather thread 2011

I think we can safely say we've dodged a bullet somewhat with Friday's rain.

Hopefully it'll drain through over the weekend nice and quickly and not be as extreme as Sunday, ready for Dustbowl 2011.

NFR, NFC.

Just read from page 135 to now. What a carry on! Nasty Neil and his swear fest. I just want to say if it does r**n then we know that it is due to the lack of positive thinking and pictures of germans. You cant argue with facts, it worked last year. P.S Neil, you cant call the people you serve dicks. Also i cannot believe you go to glasto with the way you look down on people.

Its lovely to see it all getting back to normal. I reckon shit weather for the weekend and then come the Wednesday we will be basking!!!

Synopsis

During Thursday, a ridge resides over central Europe and Sern Scandinavia ... while a slow moving upper and collocated surface low resides to the W of Ireland. By midday cold front clears the east coast introducing an unstable/showery returning Pm airmass from the west.

... E EIRE, E WALES, MIDLANDS, N, E + SE ENGLAND, and E SCOTLAND …

Increasingly cold air aloft following cold front clearing east coast Thurs AM will steepen lapse rates which, along with surface heating, will contribute to weak to moderate instability by the afternoon, with 200-800 j/kg CAPE suggested by GFS across central and eastern England and E Ireland/N Ireland - where greatest dew points are likely. Therefore scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop - particularly in these areas. Given rather weak vertical shear, no severe weather is anticipated. Any storms will be accompanied by hail, CG lightning, gusty winds and a small risk of localised flooding. Storms should fade after dark.

Harbinger of doom be gone, Twitter and its pesky 140 characters predicts storms, but in the East.

Nope, I've repeatedly said they have nothing to do with the weather.

so stop trying to justify them.

As for sexism, while you want to believe they're not, the posts from as number of women in this thread says they are, as well as me.

Are blokes the best at recognising their own sexism? Nope. There's some food for thought for you there.

Tsss..I have one night away from this thread and come back for my daily dose of positivity and..erm...well.

I hope the weather is nice, I don't seem to be able to find out by reading this thread as it has degenerated into page after page of argument, which just brings me down.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
