Yet another weather forecast

It feels like spring has finally arrived. It's a glorious warm sunny day and the outlook for the next couple of weeks is good. I'm glad we have seasons here and quite well defined they are too, all 2 of them. From the middle of March you can expect it to start warming up considerably (and so it does) and from November on you need a fire in the evening. Lovely jubbly.

I'm probably going to offend somebody here but I have to say it. It makes me really angry that the likes of Norman Kember create so much heartache and grief in their selfish, ill advised trips to the likes of Iraq. Selfish because "he felt he had to do something", ill advised, because anyone with the slightest modicum of common sense understands the danger, and despite both advice from government and experts on the ground, ploughs on in some ridiculous 'dream' about helping people and bringing peace. He should spend the rest of his life showing gratitude to the people that have worked on his behalf behind the scenes and the soldiers who put their lives at risk to rescue him. Mr Kember, you are a selfish idiot and your actions only make matters worse.
