Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 24, 2020 Awards Moderator Posted February 24, 2020 Yesterday was the first day in nearly a month that it hasn’t rained, and we did rejoice. Woke up this morning... raining. Fuck’s sake. Quote

Apparently it's because they have to dig out all existing concrete posts. And since I'm on a corner and the fence is roadside, I need a sturdy 6ft fence panel and not the flimsy ones I'd use on other sides. Edited February 24, 2020 by MPDTT Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 24, 2020 Awards Moderator Posted February 24, 2020 Disregard that bit of my last post about rain, now it’s bloody snowing. Quote

It will turn to rain around 9am and will soon melt. Thankfully no sign of rain here yet. Picture can’t make it out but it’s still pretty heavy snowfall still. I’m probably more excited than most.

So at approximately 46 metres at 60 a metre brings it to £2,880. Quote

Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 29, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 29, 2020 Fuck this weather. Bored shitless. Football cancelled because of it, can't really go out in this. I swear the windy storms have all waited until the weekend to appear. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 29, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 29, 2020 I can't remember the last time it wasn't windy. Gets on my tits more than any other weather. If it gets the Heaton Moor market cancelled tomorrow I'm going to be fuming. Quote

Think you might get the same shortly. Quote

Fuck off, no redeeming qualities barring a bit of wind power. 18 minutes ago, Carbomb said: You're not that far from me - it's really sunny here. Think you might get the same shortly. Yeah the sun has come out now. So I'm in my second set of clothes for the day (after my last lot got soaked and caked in mud checking the pitches) and about to at least get some shopping done. This weather is karma for how shit the country has been over the past few years. Quote

Now grey and hailing like fuck. Edited February 29, 2020 by Carbomb Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 29, 2020 Paid Members Posted February 29, 2020 Fuck sake @Carbomb. "It's really sunny here, you'll get the same soon" he said. Did I go out and get caught in poxy hail? Yes I did. Quote
