[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Hmmmm I was hinting toward the cloud formation in the movie Chris not the movie itself.

Ah-Ha......could they be \"Mammatus Clouds\" ?????

\"The end of the world is nigh !................lol\"

Not sure about that but maybe the fish know something that we don\'t. Could explain why no one is catching lol.

Jim.

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

I have to agree with Jim here ,those first ones are breathtaking, typical of the U.S.A. to get bigger and better cloud formations , however Tony your pictures are without doubt the best as far as the North East is concerned.
No wonder the fish are spooked !
Reading into it ,it looks to me like we\'ve had snow clouds coming over (as we should ) but it\'s been too warm and caused Mammatus clouds OR IS IT JUST ME LOL !!

I thought at first the photos were a wind up giving TC\'s editing skills but if they\'re real then it\'s obviously Dr Who\'s tardiss either landing or taking off

[TC]

No Graham....as I said:

\"I can honestly say (hand on wallet) that the picture shown is as it was when it was downloaded....no Photoshop work done on it at all (other than re-sizing the image to upload it.)\"

[Oblickta]

Amazing, did you get any feedback from look north etc?

[TC]

Not a peep, m8

Mind you, it was me boss who sent the pix off to them.....he might\'ve heard something.....if he has, he hasn\'t mentioned owt.

Certainly not been on the telly........I\'ve been watching for it......lol.

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Shame that Tony ,generally interesting ..that\'s what they look for .
Bloody interesting I reckon.

[TC]

Lol Steve.......picture shown tonight was of the 1st spring flowers starting to open in somebodys\' garden

Oh well......at least it must be getting warmer......lol

[TC]

I only suggested Look North to the boss because Trai Anfield has got better looking legs than Bob Johnson.......hahahaha

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Hmmm not good news for us shore fishermen eh !

[TC]

Norman might disagree, there, Steve......hahahaha
