Weather forecast?


 Seriously what is wrong with the weather forecast?   At one time the forecast would be reasonably close. Now they are almost always miles out.
 Today I have to take my disabled mother shopping, last night we checked several different forecasts, all agreed that today would be cloudy but dry.  I wake up to pouring rain. WTF.
 Whats the point of even having a forecast if it's wrong more than it's right?
 Years ago they tended to be reasonably good.  Now they have computers, AI and live satellite video of the bloody clouds and they are pretty much hopeless.
 Churchill got an accurate forecast for D-day, how the hell cant we get a good forecast 70 odd years later.
 In all seriousness I could take a wild guess and be right about 50% of the time, bloody AI computers should be better.  So much for them being better than humans at flying.  I ain't getting in a Boeing if it's as reliable as the weather forecast.

Autumn colours


The leaves are turning yellow, but I'm not getting much spare time to get out. Grabbed these today.




The nesting cone update.


 Back in April I posted a pic of the nesting cone (shot on the go-pro)  Well news update the nesting cone has found a mate.  See pics.  Hopefully by spring there will be baby cones hatching...  These are shot on a DSLR by the way, not a go-pro.





A few night shots


 Went to the theatre a few days back and got a few night shots on my phone (it's a bit tricky taking a camera to the threatre)  Only took a few.

Time for a rant!


 Ok I've earned it, I've worked myself for it, and by golly I'm going to have a rant.

 First off ITV4... or the begging channel as I like to call it.  My God there's a lot of begging for money in the adverts on ITV4.  Seriously it's bloody ridiculous.
 There's the adverts trying to get you to adopt a dolphin...  Really?  Last year I adopted a snow leopard, it's got out of the shed twice and bitten my neighbour, where the fuck to I keep a dolphin?  It cant go in the shed the leopard will eat it, and I'm dammed if I'm sharing the bath with bloody "flipper".
 Being serious what the fuck will the dolphin charity do with the money anyway? Whats left after the CEO takes his 150k and the overheads of the officers and cars cant really do much for the dolphins in the real world, half the time you cant even find the fuckers.

 Then theres the begging adverts for little Ahmed or whatever the kids name is. You know the ones.  "Poor Ahmed has to walk ten miles from his parents mud hut every day just to get water".
 Well first off how the fuck did they build a mud hut ten miles from water, last time I checked mud is earth and WATER. Did the family really carry the water ten miles to build their hut?   And why the hell build it so far away from water in the first place. Did drinking not occur to them??
 Secondly, why have children in the first place if there no bloody food and water, what you just expected the west to pay their upkeep for you?   Why the hell should we fund your children's upbringing. And why send the children for water anyway, what are mum and dad doing?
 Again most of the donations end up funding the charity not the people who actually need the money.


 Christmas!!!

 Two days ago Nov the 6th I saw my first Christmas advert.  WTF it's early November you pratts,    Christmas is six bloody weeks away. By the time we get to December everyone is sick and tired of stupid Christmas adverts. I'm already considering banning Shitmas. Just think of the money you'll save.  No terrible cards with Dickensian scenes or the dreaded Christmas robin on them (where can I get robin poison?). No overpriced salmonella turkey, overcooked veg and a table full of unwanted realitives you avoid all year because you hate the bastards. Now your feeding the lazy fuckers.
 No bloody Christmas presents (well you buy yourself something obviously) most never get used anyway, like the sad jumpers and wrong size slippers you get every year.  Seriously you could save thousands!

Yes I'm a right miserable git .  But I'm still right...

American Mystery (triangles)


 So what have I learned from watching this program...
 Well I learned I lost 42 minutes of my life.
 I learned a science article on the Bermuda triangle and flight 19 couldn't even get the planes right. Flight 19 was 5 Grumman TBN avenger aircraft. Not a fucking B17 flying fortress as shown in the program see below...



 Frankly if they can't get that right I don't have much faith in the rest of the stories and details.

 I stuck with the program right up to where they talked about  pterodactyls being seen flying around, and I thought, thats enough Wayne, it's a load of bollocks, and not even good bollocks, really shit bollocks...
 Dont bother watching this rubbish, you'd have more fun slicing your own ear off with a bread knife. For even better laughs slice off someone elses ear... (don't actually do this people, it's not a good thing.)
