You have to look at the bigger picture. :-) ;)
And welcome back as your preferred persona. I do wonder though, why "Superworm"?
The way I crawl through posts. :)
Ah! ok! as someone with a slug problem that's not so great. But glad you're back.

I'm just amazed how Dallas doesn't miss a query that's buried even here in the rant thread 🐐
I always thought he was a chatbot anyway, this proves it.
It's been mentioned before, a problem solving machine :)

Practicing it on a daily basis must be crazy healthy for the mind, like running a mile every morning.

But I was never worried about Derek either, he has that plot armour ;)

My watering can rose broke so I looked up a replacement on Amazon. Just as well they advised me that a new rose is completely useless without a balloon hand pump for latex and foil balloons inflation. :roll:

I think anyone with half a brain is looking at the bigger climate picture with dismay.
But i would like our well paid meteriologists to get if it right on a daily basis. I mean radar, satellites, come on????

I've got a feeling there's a communication problem between the MET Office and the media. BBC have a lovely app but they don't bother updating it when the forecast changes. The fact that they forecasted sunny weather all day and thunderstorms confirms that.

I've just cut my grass. Do I water it or are we in for torrential rain? I could easily find out by knocking on my nutcase neighbour's door. He's got about 20 screens and his eyes are probably glued to them as he tracks the thunderstorms heading over, but I'll just wait until he pops out, and ask as though I'm only half interested. The only serious warning I get of thunderstorms is when he's out with his full gear, tripod and array of cameras. :lol:

Do we need a warning for thunder? :) it's the lightening that's the risky bit.

It's neither the thunder nor lightening that I care about. It's just the rain.

To avoid opening another rant post, I've just pressed the play button on Spotify and it started playing on another computer!
