The god drat jet stream just shifted north!

If you were outside then it wasn’t just you there was a sudden switch where it started to get hotter. Basically there was this big lump of pressure over Greenland pushing the jet stream and all the cold air south, once it dissipated it allowed the jet stream to move upwards and the hot air from Africa to start moving towards us.

Should get slowly hotter and more humid with Saturday being a normal summers day - the modelling shows heat for at least the next week.


For real, if you learn to read the jet stream forecasts then you can predict the weather better than the met does https://www.netweather.tv/charts-and-data/jetstream

The UKMT Fudge Baron


New Fudge Alert!

So, just in time for the bank holiday, I’m excited to announce a new Fudge Drop!

We’ve got a selection of delicious flavours up for sale, including a couple of brand new ones! (And I’ll admit to being particularly proud of them both)

New releases:

Original Vanilla
Lemon Meringue Pie
Nibblez
Chocolate Orange
- making its long anticipated return in an improved form!
Peanut Butter Crunch
- Smooth peanut butter and a frankly ludicrous quantity of chopped honey roasted peanuts combine to make a crunchy, sweet, salty and nutty treat!
Coconut Macaroon - Using the dark arts of Fudge Science, we’ve managed to recreate the flavour of this delicious traditional treat in fudge form! A must-try!

All stock is now live and for sale at www.Fudjit.co.uk :)

Also, we will be trading in person at the LarpCon Kit Fair in Coalville, Leicestershire on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of June. If you’re in the area and want to pick up some special deals on fudge (and also see a load of other awesome traders), check out the event page on Facebook and come by! It’s an event being run under Covid-safe guidelines with safety at the forefront.

And if you drop by, do the ‘Stairs’ thing for extra special goon only deals!

Cheers all! Happy fudging!

Yeh that doesn’t give the modelling or tell you how to read it.

Basically if the big band is above the UK then the air we get is coming up from the Sahara Desert and that’s a heatwave in the summer, mild weather in the winter, if the big band is below the UK then oh gently caress it’s cold it’s cold Arctic wind hitting us. If the band is on the UK then rain is coming, and if there are stripy lines in the band then that’s high winds.

We really can sit here and predict the weather just from the jet stream modelling with more accuracy than professional weather experts could in the 1980s.

*the point is if I can read them any idiot can not that I have super weather reading skills. The jet stream models we have today are still roughly accurate two weeks in advance where as the met will only give you predictions 5 days in advance.

I'm reminded of a fun teaching memory I have where I asked a little boy if he was going to invite any girls to his birthday party that weekend and he was instantly like, "Ugh, no!!!". This was shortly after giving me a very well-spoken (for his age) account of current technological innovations (he was Chinese).

Sometimes I miss teaching. :(

Helping a mate get a flat and the landlord is doing some reference thing from a landlord association, fair enough; asks for your NI number... bit off, found their forum which has ridiculous poo poo from one dude:

quote:

When I am arranging a viewing I ask what the tenant will bring to show me. The minimum I accept is ; identification for each adult, one recent wage slip for each adult tenant, at least one month bank statement for each adult tenant. I have had a couple of people complain this is too intrusive just for a viewing.

quote:

I am quite worried by the RLA news report about Information Commissioner warning landlords against using social media to check on tenants. It is such a useful tool for catching out people whose life does not match their words that I see this as potentially quite a serious blow to the vetting process. I wonder whether a way round it is to say to applicants "show me your Facebook account so you do not have to fear me secretly snooping on you."...My vetting process is very thorough and some will find it intrusive. I visit them in their home. I look at their bank statements and wage slips. And I often talk to their neighbours...as well as credit check and landlord ref.
punchline:

quote:

My territory is bottom of the market Manchester. I am pretty hands on and thorough. My normal practice is to insist on credit check for the guarantor and a visit to their present home to make sure they are clean & tidy. I would also ask to see a recent bank statement.At the moment I am trying to let an immaculate house with lots of people interested but no one seems willing to let me go and check out their present home. I wonder whether I am being too strict and intrusive. I turn down viewings for people who live too far for me to go round and see.

What loving crackpot is inspecting peoples dishwashing for the privilege to live in some hole in Salford? "Your hooverings off, is this really the standard you think allows you to cast eyes on my £80 a week one bed across from the methadone clinic?! Richard! Get the car!"

One of the old men from group hates landlords unless it’s this one friend of his who repeatedly gets “ripped off” by tenants when they realise that he has no intention of fixing the problems in his lovely above a take out flat and withhold rent.

where did that other dog come from

who is he


The last landlord we had before buying this place was incredibly poo poo. Among other things there was no gas at all into the property as the previous tenant didn't let the gas board in to replace the supply pipe so was completely shut off, and no one checked this before renting the place to us. However he was also a massive coward. Any time we had a dispute I suggested "We could see what a magistrate's court thinks of all this" and he backed down immediately. I have to assume we were the tip of the iceberg for dodgy poo poo he was pulling

I don't know if I should be worried that the UK seems to have wholesale switched over to the Pfizer vaccine now. Never thought I'd have vaccine envy.

I just had the good old AZ blood clotty one at the start of the month :(

And yeah the side effects are not fun - the day after is horrible. Seems to be quite variable as to how bad you are affected. I wonder whether it's an indication of how badly you would've been hit by the real thing? I had zero energy the day after my jab.

Absolutely go home, you don't now how bad you might feel and if you drive that might end badly... Didn't you total a car recently?

Also if you end up feeling ok well that is a day for you.

I got almost zero effects from az1, to the Po by that I am suspicious that they missed or something...

I feel like the UK as a whole stopped really giving a poo poo about hand hygiene pretty early on in the pandemic. I mean there’s still sanitising stations outside supermarkets etc but there isn’t that big push to wash hands thoroughly that I’ve seen. Even gloves have fallen out of fashion. It’s all masks now.

That being said I do know of people who would sterilise their food deliveries whenever they arrived, avoiding touching them for a day etc. I still wash my hands after getting a delivery but then just grab stuff out of the fridge or cupboard without caring, so it’s probably totally psychosomatic protection.

Is the infection risk from surfaces pretty much not worth thinking about that much?

Inexplicable Humblebrag

having sanitary hands is a good thing but the general sense is that you ain't gonna catch 'rona from touching a doorhandle

the received wisdom does seem to be that you need Reggie Q. Sickman to heave out enough virus-filled breaths to get enough of a concentration to allow the virus to get a toehold in your system. you are unlikely to get One Tenacious Virus sneaking into you via touching a communal sex arse or something.

but handwashing/sanitisation is good for preventing the spread of other stuff that could affect your ability to fend off corona

I still wash my hands regularly and sanitise before/after going into supermakets. I stopped wearing gloves because they were so much waste in my house of 6 people.
