The world is full of people with little to bother them.

Our weather is grim enough, at least let us see people looking well when telling us its grim.

Maybe they could wear bikini's. If they wore as little as possible then people would have as little as possible to complain about.

Dr Aidan Nulty been forecasting in his gimp suit again? Ffs, how many times is that now.....at least we can see his eyes for the wink!

No, 78 complaints were made in total. They weren't all about what the presenters wear

"Most of the complaints were about Met Éireann getting the forecast wrong," reports Newstalk, with people being promised high temperatures and then being disappointed to see rain.

Scorchio!

I think you are correct , they got 2 complaints about what the weather girls were wearing and the rest were about getting the forecasts wrong. Fake media :pac:

Jean,
I'm not sure what happiness means
But I look in your eyes and I know...
That it isn't there

More water.

Aesthetically objectionable perhaps, but not morally.

We should bring that Mexican wan in, then they'd really have something to complain about. Or not.

There's ice on the sink where we bathe
But you said it would be warm today!

Mr. CooL ICE

Any stats for people complimenting the presenters for what they wear?

78 complaints... probably all from only a handful of Mary Whitehouses.

Topless weather like Scandinavia is the way forward IMO

There is no Jeane on the RTE Meteorologists team!

What the hell is the point in complaining about the met office getting the weather wrong? They'll buck up and be 100% right in future after the letter?

As for complaining about their clothes, if you ever find yourself sitting down writing a letter to a tv station because you don't like their forecasters clothes, you need to visit a psychiatrist

I worked in retail for a number of years and this doesn't surprise me. There are people who complain as a hobby.

"One can hardly believe that we are having the coldest weather at the moment by the way the female presenters are dressed."

This is a hilariously ridiculous complaint. Does that person not grasp the concept that the forecast is filmed indoors in a heated building and people wear coats, hats and scarfs when going outside in cold weather.

They wouldn't approve of dear old Yanet Garcia so..

Is 2 complaints a Storm?

Dunno lads, think they can be a bit OTT myself.

A certain hotelier in a certain seaside town in the south of a certain northwest county threatened to sue Met Eireann about ten years ago because they got the weather wrong! He reckoned his business was at a loss!

That silver dress Jean Bryne wore was my undisputed highlight of Christmas 09.

Oh absolutely. Even if you remedied all their ridiculous complaints, they'd still find something to complain about. Because professional kvetchers don't care what they complain about. It's the complaining they enjoy. Losers.

Pedantic Hat on: There is no "Met Office" in Ireland!

Two letters is hardly a tsunami of complaints.



I said tsunami, in case anyone missed that. Because weather and stuff.

Funny enough I was looking up replacement satellite boxes yesterday (bear with me!) and one of the sites had a video of the picture quality (I assume).

Thus I was introduced to Helen Curran..

Yes, everyone missed it, because a tsunami is a geological phenomenon rather than a meteorological event, thus rendering your "witty" contribution to a serious discussion about weather forecasting absolutely redundant. I have complained by Pm to the moderator as well, so there!

An underwater nuclear explosion can also generate a tsunami and that ain't geological so your assertion isn't necessarily the case.

Consider yourself out-pedanticed (pedanticised?) :cool:

Those people are idiots complete and utter idiots. Do they spend their hours watching weather forecasts so they can get annoyed and ring up the Met? Bloody idiots.

You could have said an avalanche of complaints, since an avalanche is caused by snow, or at least involves snow, and is therefore a fit subject for a meteorological discussion forum...and we would all have laughed our asses off, but oh no, you had to say tsunami:mad:
