Your one stop thread for all things off topic (aka "Study Buddy II")

Come on, who remembers the infamous "Study Buddy" thread from the old forum? Over a thousand posts long, 100+ pages, 100,000+ views with half of all those coming from Baggybooks alone.
Rather than creating new threads for every random topic we can think of, we need to summon our resources and beat the formidable score set by the old SB thread. So who's in? Your forum needs you.
Right we need a topic to start and as I'm the first, I want to discuss the weather forecasts from GMTV (visitors to my Facebook profile might have seen this already!). Well, didn't Clare Nasir get it just slightly wrong when she/they predicted a BBQ summer, yet this morning they were all having a little titter about it. Funny is it? The bloody cheek of it! Well, the people freezing their lazy northern asses off on Blackpool beach certainly didn't look amused I can tell you. What if we got our cashflow forecasts wrong as often they screwed up their fricking weather forecasts? Useless.
Bah!

A family we met were swimming in the sea on Sunday afternoon.
I like the mysterious way you leave that one dangling there Jan, like there should be something more only there isn't. Very arty.
As for you AK002 (do you have a name, btw?), I've read the legend of Sawney Bean so even if the weather had been blazing hot, your sweaty BBQ's are certainly not for me.
They got it wrong on bbc news too, they were happily laughing and joking about the hottest temperatures on record we were going to have in late July! Today they had rain coats on and werent so jovial, lol.
Getting the weather wrong if your a weather person should at least warrant a disciplinary! They say they get the long range forecast right 60% of the time, as you say blobby, can you imagine? Im sorry Mr HMRC I got 60% of the companies corporation tax right, it could have gone either way, lol.
Nice one Jow.
£50,000 a year for knowing c*ck all, please GMTV...

Bet you can't guess what this guy's profession is, can you (it's not mentioned in the story)? Yep, he's a (now probably unemployable) Health & Safety consultant. Didn't frigging self assess the risk on that one did he?
Arty, never been discribed as that before!
Gem - 1st of August, Yorkshire Day, good choice, lol
Sawney Bean...? (Am i showing my age again?)
Yes I do, Arif :eek:
Sure am reading :001_smile:
31st August Monday bank holiday
Hey, I know GMTV isn't of the highest calibre but it does have / did have the lovely Kate Garraway and Emma Crosby. And no matter how low I feel at times, it always proves there's someone worse off than me. I could be Ben Shephard.
We can see that by the healthy glow of your sun kissed suit
She had her baby yesterday :001_smile: not that i watch that trash tv
Sweet, but do you think he's had his first fag yet?
What is the best way to approach your boss for a payrise:001_rolleyes:
