Stormy Weather

[french frank]

I'm posting Lat's message somewhat against my better judgement, but on principle, if there is any criticism of me and the way the forum is run, I feel that should not be deleted.

Thanks ff.

Lat1 has his pride, and it may well be that we won't be seeing anything more of him. I shall be sad if that is the case: always the gentleman, he was informed on the basis of having been at the coalface of government policy, always strove and sometimes managed to find meeting points between polarised positions on many subjects discussed here, including ones of general sensitivity, and often gave me cause to reconsider fondly held opinions, which has got to be a good thing - especially in my case!

He'll be missed

Hear, hear!

I often disagreed with Lats' posts, but they always contained perspectives that made me reconsider my own ideas and I was very sorry to read his posts across the Boards today.

Seconded,I often didn't understand his posts never mind agree or disagree.
I hope your beloved York City FC give you something to cheer Lat.
You will be missed.

I really hope Lat comes back...he offers a different perspective on lots of issues.
Hopefully the mods can pass these kind of sentiments on to him.
This board needs people who have something to say.....

[salymap]

Yes, all the very best to Lat.

Funny old weather today - it can't make up its' mind. Drizzle earlier,now sunny.

Just received a lovely pic of Mahlerei's gorgeous dog, Sky. Thanks to the thread starter

Here here, from me to.I liked the way Lat posted. His opinions and ideas will be ghreatly missed.

Weather, an autumnal feel today.

Although a lot cooler than yesterday, today's temperatures are actually holding up well for mid-September: 19 C being the maximum daytime norm for London. Tomorrow's when we're all going to feel a difference. The headline warning severe winds later this week in the Daily Depress looks a bit exaggerated, to me.

That's a relief S_A - my neighbour's fence is rather wobbly & I had visions of its falling over while I'm on my hols

A traffic-stopping vision, no doubt!

Of course he may be in the 'mode', but he may quite possibly be wearing long trousers and brogues and be on his way to Chippenham....

Bad things happen in Chippenham so I avoid the place. I only have to look at the headlines in our local weekly paper, the Wiltshire Gazette and Herald.

[kernelbogey]

Glad to hear it anton. S_A must take all the credit. He can really forecast the weather; I just go by past performance.

Very cold earlier today but warming up for what may be the last day of summer weather apparently.Bestio

There was an proms interval talk - interview with a natural weather forecaster - last Tuesday. I caught part only, but some here may be interested to catch it on iPlayer.

Only 24 hours or so left, though, I guess.....

A lot of bloodshed in the Nell Gwyn Tea Rooms, perhaps?
