| 634432 | 2008-01-27 19:52:00 | Here's (www.predictweather.com) an interesting read by Ken Ring (the long-term weather predictor). It is slightly conspiracy-theory flavoured, but I have never heard of the theory of 'a-biotic oil'. ************************ As an aside, I bought Ken Ring's book for 2008 weather and am marking off each day (for Auckland) to see how accurate he is. In the past 28 days he has got it 100% right 14 times (and 75% right an additional 5-6 times). Considering the book was written some time ago - not sure of the exact date - a 50% average isn't too bad!! Better than the Met Service?? Not that I'd ever want to see TV3 drop the lovely Toni and just get Hilary to read from Ken Ring's book!!!! I think I'd turn TV off forever if that happened!!! |

You know the one: if it's wet, it's raining, if it's white, it's snowing and if it's not there, it's windy... :D | johcar (6283) | ||

You know the one: if it's wet, it's raining, if it's white, it's snowing and if it's not there, it's windy... :D We had a similar theory when I lived in Stratford. If you can't see the mountain (Egmont/Taranaki) it is raining. If you can see the mountain it is going to rain. Of course all those who have psychic abilities will know and will possibly pass on this information to those that are telepaths whom hopefully get jobs in the Met office. My raincoat is in my car in case I need it. Like the Scouts I try to, "be prepared." |

| 634437 | 2008-01-28 00:28:00 | Ken Ring's web article (www.predictweather.com) is one of the funniest pages on the web. For "Science Fantasy Comedy" he could rival Terry Pratchett in teasing a fantasy out of a grain of truth. Well worth the price of a free look, if your time is worthless. |
