And add in, In control of the substance that fuels most of our economy adn a profligate buyer of weapons from us. Sanctions anyone?

oh my!

we have a spring club trip staying in the hostel (yellow building that appears about 10 seconds in) (for those unfamiliar with the town, Basil lives many metres above that. on quite a steep slope). Don't think I'd be getting much sleep there tonight

Best of luck Basil.

I don't think anyone will be getting much sleep there for quite a while, Matt. This is what it looks like today.

Bright and sunny in Riyadh

….and dry.

ElyDave · « **Reply #1006 on:** 20 October, 2018, 11:36:49 am »

It's raining in Al Khobar, been threatening for days.

That explains the loud bangs i heard earlier, thunder, not Saudi driving.

Ah - but I meant dry, as in no Sid Deeky. Do they still have those T shirts? "Sid Deeky is my Friend"

Absolutely

Unfortunately no opportunity to head to bahrain for the weekend, client keeps changing their mind and we had some work to do

Monster hail nearly marble sized hail on the North Downs. Now lots of car alarms...

Rain. And thunder, unless one of the building sites down the road is getting its breeze blocks delivered by air.

Basil · « **Reply #1011 on:** 05 December, 2018, 08:36:59 pm »

According to the rain radar it's not raining here.

So why has it been pissing down for several hours and looks set in to continue for a while?

Kim · « **Reply #1012 on:** 05 December, 2018, 08:56:43 pm »

Radar probably got wet and stopped working properly.

My old uni has posted me out the alumni news letter. Two questions arise; firstly how did they get this address? I am pretty sure i haven't told them about it. Secondly of all the people who should know I didn't complete the phd I started why did they address it to dr Matthew?

To be fair - I think there are three questions here, the third being - "Have you got the right thread?"

matthew · « **Reply #1014 on:** 06 December, 2018, 08:53:38 pm »

i blame browsing on my phone.

I've just been to take the rubbish & recycling out. It is not nice out there ! Cold , wet & windy. I'm going out later , sod looking suave & elegant , it's head to toe waterproofs !

Kim · « **Reply #1016 on:** 15 December, 2018, 03:12:36 pm »

Head to toe waterproofs won't save you. REMAIN INDOORS.

And we're not going to ask what you keep in those snazzy hip pockets.

Had to nip out this afternoon. Big jumper, cap, long trousers all brought into service!

andrewc · « **Reply #1021 on:** 15 December, 2018, 06:50:28 pm »

Walking boots, fleece top, Paramo trousers & jacket, woolly hat.
Not my preferred attire for a night at the opera, but it’s only a broadcast to the local cinema, so no one will see me in the dark!

ElyDave · « **Reply #1022 on:** 15 December, 2018, 06:50:53 pm »

Jumper AND fleeece for me today, first time this year, winter must have fully arived.

ian · « **Reply #1023 on:** 20 December, 2018, 06:01:18 pm »

Yesterday it was a sunny 35 degrees. Today it's not. I think we're doing Christmas wrong.

The winter solstice is over!
