I've had a quick word with Him Upstairs, and He's agreed to rearrange weather patterns in a more usual orderly fashion for the time being. By the way, he DID send the Americans Hurricane Sandy as a warning not to vote for the Mormon, he told me, but His followers were all too busy praying to notice. I always suspected as such.
Only 8.5 C max here today; thick layer of stratocumulus - textbook T1/2 type airstream in November.

[QUOTE=mangerton;221035]Oh dear, saly.
I hope you are now properly warmed up.
It was another car-scraping evening after work at 8.00 yesterday. This morning though it was mildish and wet. At 4.30 tonight it was a surprising 12°C and 1009 mb.[/QU................................................ .................................................. ..
Thank you mangerton, I've had a headache ever since, my fault I suppose. Warmer today thoughComment

BTW, anyone remember their 21st?
I know adulthood's now supposed to arrive at 18 - it still hasn't in my case, but that's another subject.
I'll never forget mine! Parents booked a swanky local country club. £500 to hire - a lot of money in 1966. I had to hire evening jacket and bow tie from Moss Bros. 200 turned up. Expected as I was to make a speech, I drank half one of the bottles of bubbly to steady my nerves. 200 guests! The following day Dad asked if I'd enjoyed the experience. I white-lied yes. "Oh good", he said, "because we had thought of buying you a car instead"!

All I can remember is -
I was in Cyprus.
There were a few of us.
We drank a lot of beer.
My son will be 21 on Sunday,frightening how the years have flown by.Comment

saly! Hush your mouth!Originally posted by salymap View PostYou may not think so, I can't possibly comment I imagine S_A, with his frequent excursions to Oxford Street to source his favoured 'Oxford Professor sports coats syle, leather elbow patches' etc., likes to be a crusty intellectual, but he does loads of cycling and only affects an Old Fogey personal because he knows that makes him so attractive to women wanting to iron the creases out of his shirts .. Probably his jazz habit may get minus points .....
