No you are a saddo.

WigWamBam · 19/05/2008 20:56

Saddo. Definitely.

notnowbernard · 19/05/2008 20:57

Forecasts?

Predictions?

Comparisons?

What about shipping forecasts?

Just you wait. It will be the highlight of Mumsnet.

it doesn't warrant a whole section lol

But what would shy people talk about in Chat if there wasn't the weather as a fall-back?

jalopy · 19/05/2008 21:00

There's so much to discuss. Forget about relationships and fanjos, most people need a forecast to get through the day.

I would like to see a weather section......but i do wonder if it could get a bit boring??

Snow watch is always good fun!!!!

dizzydixies · 19/05/2008 21:06

jalopy · 19/05/2008 21:10

Boring? How very dare you.

Have you read the nappy and toilet training section? Now that's boring.

I started a weather thread today. Not sure it warrants a whole section or are you trying to do away with us???

Idobelieveinfairies · 19/05/2008 21:22

2!!!!! ..i do prefer the cold!

Nighbynight · 19/05/2008 21:23

Oh come on, it would just be full of people saying "its snowing here"

Grublin · 19/05/2008 21:24

According to my met office weather gadget on my laptop, it's saying 10.3 down here tonight.

PeaGreene · 19/05/2008 21:28

but snow's always soooo exciting and I'm always so very jealous and hopeful. But then where I live, it doesn't snow...

i agree....it never snows here either!!!! we always get excited as very rarely there will be a snowflake hovering above us...and then a few hours later the snow symbol turns to rain......it used to snow here years ago....the whole island would come to a standstill..schools would be closed, police warnings not to go out..it was great!

jalopy · 19/05/2008 21:38

I just popped over to the 'bar' and have been supping on my pint of sherry to numb the mocking backlash.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/05/2008 21:40

ooooo - I found the thread - hi all

waswondering - are you willing to say which site?

AMumInScotland · 19/05/2008 21:43

Idobelieveinfairies - can i ask which island?

Nighbynight · 19/05/2008 21:46

peagreene, we can still see snow from our upstairs windows!

Idobelieveinfairies · 19/05/2008 21:51

Jersey! (which has far too much sunshine and not enough snow IMHO!)
