Un Happy Thread (hot, ice, average, days)

I don't even bother with the GFS, it is good for high temps but it sometimes overdoes the sea breeze effect. So What I do is just add about 3c.

I think the GFS is really overdoing saturday. 22c with 12c uppers and 27c the day before? I don't think so.

I enjoy the engineering side of the industry, i just find it very interesting and I'm constantly learning. It's also very good money and I see my wife and daughter every day, it's perfect for me really.
Don't get me wrong though, being a pilot would be cool, it's just not for me. I'd much rather work on the aircraft.
I know a lot more about the aircraft than the pilots do too, so its nice to share that with them, although some have a decent knowledge anyway.

In fact, next week I'm teaching 6 pilots about hydraulics and briefly, flight servicing. Should be interesting!

Ok so you would rather learn.

No, I would rather fly because you can go anywhere and you are constantly travelling.

Fed up with people on netweather talking about a 'breakdown' when the models are showing temps of like 25c. How is 25c a breakdown?

My next door neighbour is so rude and rare. He stopped speaking to us after christmas all of a sudden. Then I go outside there now to watch a ryanair plane and turn around to see him about 100 yards away staring at me! No harm but after you not speaking to us for months and dropping us like that, why the hell would I bother!!!

Stuff him!

I bliddy well hope the next GFS update moves inline with the ECM, which is showing the wonderful 15 degree 850hpa line moving over England next week.

I can't be arsed with my dad anymore. Hes always moaning,groaning, nagging and shouting!
Tight as hell aswell. Just last night he got at me for leaving the light on in my room. "I don't want to spend money and waste energy".

Oh shut up!!

[Weatherfan7]

The light bulb is like the one thing in the house that costs a few pence to have on all day FFS so I C what you mean.

[dunno what to put here]

When I got the chance, I left home and lived on my own. Everything is how I want it to be, no compromising or annoying people nagging me to do things.
