The splendour of Scottish weather
Being a weatherman on the moon is an easy and perhaps a bit boring job. The reason is naturally that there is no weather on the moon. I imagine being a weatherman, or to be politically correct, weather person or even weather correspondent, in Scotland is similarly tedious. That’s because the weather here is always bad! Since last January I remember one day where it could be said with certainty that the weather was actually nice, and that was yesterday! My memory may be failing, but if I can recall correctly, the infamous weather in Iceland is a hell of a lot more interesting than the Scottish weather in 2006. If it’s cold in Reykjavík, at least one can see blue skies and that yellow thing in the middle of the Solar System whereas in Scotland if it’s cold, like it has been for the past 3 months, the sky remains grey. Actually, the interesting thing about Scottish weather is that there are really only two seasons here, 6 months of autumn and then 6 months of spring. 6 months of autumn would be nice if it wasn’t for the humidity, which means that if the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius it becomes friggin’ cold. Yeah, it’s the kind of cold that goes right through the skin and cools ones bones. It basically cools the core of the human body! If I was a Scottish weatherman I would go on TV in the autumn and say: Folks, it’s cold outside and it’s going to be cold and shitty for the next months. Therefore, there is no valid reason for me to tell you the same thing every night. Ciao”. Then I would book a flight to Bermuda for the next 6 months and drink litres of Mojitos on the warm and friendly beach under a huge umbrella thingy. I urge the Scottish weather team to do the same.Brrrrrrrr from the lovely Caledonia
