Aquamarine Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I also know about the climate due to living in it. It's not a crackpot theory that temperatures often reach heights now that they never used to back then, it's simply a fact. The UK is also a country in which temperatures vary widely depending on region--annual averages are pretty irrelevant here all the way around!

ninelives Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Sentence doesn't quite make sense, but, whatever. Nonetheless, experiencing the UK climate all my life will put me a little ahead of you when it comes to the speaking about it. Well this would be my feeling too - someone who LIVES in the UK certainly has a better perspective on what the weather is like there so why anyone is arguing otherwise is confusing to me.

The UK is also a country in which temperatures vary widely depending on region--annual averages are pretty irrelevant here all the way around! Exactly. The UK is an island, and a small one, so the weather/temperature will differ. Never too drastically, but enough to make stats irrelevant in some parts.

He's either bored/sad enough to want to argue (and I'm not too tired to reply), or he's just plain difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with difficult and you'll be correct about something for the first time today. If you scroll up you will see I provided specific stats for a specific region of the UK, knowing as I do that as an island there is variance. I think we are in agreement that, as I said, scarves and jackets are more likely to be worn in December than in April. You can spout all you'd like concerning global warming and fail to grasp I maintain residences around the world, and it will not change the correctness of my assertion.

You can spout all you'd like concerning global warming and fail to grasp I maintain residences around the world, and it will not change the correctness of my assertion. Yeah, and that specific region is usually only a degree or two higher than, say, where I live. Hardly makes an impact on day to day lives. Why are you still arguing about this? I've already told you, that, assuming you're not slow, you're always more likely to wear warmer clothes in December. However, you're also still likely to wear said clothes in April. Except that and get over it. I mentioned global warming once. That's hardly 'spouting'. Isn't there some scare-mongering thread you should be on? You can live in as many places as you like, but that means fuck all if you're not in the UK experiencing the climate over an exclusive amount of time. And it wasn't your assertion that confused me, it was your sentence structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we've established you are easily confused so I have gone to great lengths and painstaking detail to show the logic upon which I framed my position. At the end of the day it is a position you can't refute, and one in fact you agree with. I have nothing more to say on this matter and you may have the last word.

SteveAJones Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) i am embarrassed to be a zeppelin fan, with you two arguing about sweaters. Jimmy at Walrus Systems in London (wearing a favorite jacket) http://www.walrus.co.uk/main/main.htm "We specialise in equipment (particularly vinyl playing, and valve amplification) which we feel is top of its class; equipment which lets you concentrate on music and hopefully forget the hardware (sonically, at least). The brands we represent are often very hard to find - some of them are from smaller manufacturers who deliberately seek out retailers able to do them proper justice - others are better known but not widely stocked because they are not understood and their true worth not realised".

There has been so much of that lately. I thought it seemed to have ended. Let's go back to the pictures.... I don't think this needs an explaination....

glicine Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Yes. What is the point of all this arguing? There has been so much of that lately. I thought it seemed to have ended. I didn't see "so much of arguing" lately here, and it only started yesterday. Well, I'm sorry that a picture I posted caused such an arguing. But I think there is hardly any harm done, it's not like SAJ and longdistancewinner were holding a grudge against each other, they were just sticking to their own opinions, right or wrong. Or at least it seems so to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hardly an argument. SAJ had his opinion and I had mine. How awful. There's been little to no arguing here on the Zeppelin boared as of late (General, not included), so it's not something to get all bothered about.

Aquamarine Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Most people can tell the difference between a debate (discussion) and an argument (fight). This was one of the former, and personally I'm all for them. They get information sorted out, for one thing. Now, Steve--Who's that bloke with Jimmy?
