More pathetic americanisation I suppose - I think I first heard it used 3 or 4 weeks ago

[les_taxi]

Yes me too Ded i thought wtf is this?

[Ako Si Jamie]

More sensationalist tosh :yawn:.

So it's going to be wet and windy on Boxing Day? I would have never have guessed that in a million years.

[grahamw48]

More muppet media meteorology for the mental midget masses. :NoNo:

[Terpe]

My Christmas Day is forecast to be hot quenched only by copious amounts of SML :biggrin:

I can predict the same for New Year's Eve also :Jump:

[stevewool]

Yes hot and sweaty New Year's Eve for me too, I hope. Rooftop terrace drinking a cool SML - followed by a cup of tea - while looking at the building site. I had better take my miner's lantern to get around the site. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I have decided to put the heating on for the next two days, as it is Xmas. :anerikke:

Anyone who has the temerity to brag about lounging around in the Philippines while drinking BEER should have their forum memberships revoked with immediate effect.

Inconsiderate swines. :biggrin:

I've put it off now Steve.

Warm enough, but nobody to pull my Xmas cracker. :cwm3:

Pop over to York train station, my daughter will be there soon waiting for the connection to Northallerton, I am sure she would pull the other end for you

No bomb in the soft South just cold - had to be a bit careful on the bike 1st thing dodging ice patches

[Dedworth]

Looks like the idiots have stopped using "Weather Bomb" for the present severe period I've only read or heard it once (BBC predictably)

[Ako Si Jamie]

I see the Express are implementing their usual winter tactic of exaggerating the weather on the front page. :yawn:
