Don't worry too much about the exact science ok?

He should do a special weather forecast next Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PabloCoke Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 97 and 98 where my first years, made me fall in love with Glastonbury, I simply couldn't do them now. Id probably die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gherkin8r Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'm officially done with work now. I can't focus on anything for more than a few mins, motivation has completely disappeared and productivity is 0. The stupid thing is when I come back I'm going to have double the work to get through and double the depression. I absolutely hate these weather model run things every 6 hours but for some reason wish they would make them every 3 hours anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was similarly underprepared for 97 but got through it, and was great. 98 was a different league. Lasted until Saturday afternoon and the only time I’ve left early (and didn’t really want to but all my stuff was ruined). I don’t remember 16 being anyway near as bad. I’d do 16 weather again (not my preference) but don’t think I could do 98 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
