    Any coincidence that gay pride week is being held in Frisco this week Spod?

    Hmmm, anything you haven't told us?

      San Francisco's got a weird microclimate

      High summer is not the right time to go there. It will be cloudy and freezing.

      Chico, what time is it?

        ...that's interesting Rebecca, because I was there in winter and it was cloudy and freezing then as well.

        BlasterBates in "You heard it here second!" mode, beacuse Rebecca got there first.
        I'm alright Jack

          San Francisco has the summer in september/october really. Autumn is fairly mild, can be chilly in the evening because of the fog. Winter is January/February where it rains practically every day. From march to september the weather is generally mild, with occasional chills in the evening and some good sunny days, pretty much a spring. Still a heaven compared to british weather.

          If you’re going to San Francisco
          Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

          You’re gonna meet some gentle people there

            I'm going to ring California today to see if there is any work going as part of my escape plans. I could do with building up the airmiles a bit.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              "I recall Alistair Cooke saying that the coldest winter he'd ever spent was summer in SanFranCisco."

              I guess she has never been to Siberia. You would expect this comment from anybody else who lived all their lives in the rest of California.

                Have you? Siberia is a big place. A VERY big place. And only parts of it are cold. But the cold parts tend to be very cold. Spent a winter in Novosibirsk a few years back enjoying a temp of -52. Amazingly everything still worked. Yet one fecking leaf on the track and everything in this country falls apart.
