Heavy weather

[Corvus]

Weather good at the moment isn't it. Looking forward to a couple of runs on one or other of the machines this weekend.

I was half listening to chris Evans this morning, on the way to work and he was on about how he reckons he can feel the difference in pressure. What's more he reckons he can feel it on his shoulders. Mmm. That doesn't sound quite right to me.

Ok, air pressure varies constantly and we are stood under a very thick blanket of it. A blanket which is much denser at the bottom than the top. But surely the pressure it creates isn't only acting straight down, but in all directions?

Hoping for a bit of scientific thought from someone like tanneman or merecat.

Waddya think?

Chris Evans is an idiot is what I think

He's not as daft as I look.

Well my thoughts are this, I presume you mean atmospheric pressure? That varies below the mean taken at sea level depending on elevation above sea level and all the other variable factors up there in the Evans. I reckon most of us know that. I am thinking that Chris Evans is certainly no idiot, but I can not stand the cheesy deviant axxhole. Billy Piper is well shot of that condescending ginger munter.

I reckon you should ask Elvis about this.

It doesn't take much change in elevation for my ears to register it.

Not sure how CE feels it on his shoulders, though ?

He has Barometer shoulder pads fitted surely?

Dodgy eustachean tubes. (Dodgy spelling?)

On the subject of ears and atmospheric pressure, I had a dodgy ear from a young age. Bout seventeen years ago I woke up deaf in that ear. I mean stone deaf. Every so often I would get partial hearing back, then it would go again. Like a switch.

Long story short, it turned out the tiny bones in my ear had disintegrated hence the stone deafness. But every so often a change in atmospheric pressure would press my ear drum directly onto the sensory part. Then another change would lift it away again. VERY irritating (and distressing). Got it sorted after two years of pushing. Now have plastic "bones" in there and my hearing has never been so good that side.

some people are more susceptible to pressure changes, my wife knows when its going to thunder, she gets a headache, probably due to pressure change just before a storm.

she`s not that clever though, she gets lots of headaches on saturday nights and it hardly ever thunders......... ....ang on........

Evans, idiot, probably not, irritating twat, then yes...

I thought this was a music thread about Weather Report.

Can be any thread you like. Don't mind a bit of weather report.

Wayne shorter. Malt whisky. Good combo.

I saw Weather Report in my youff when the late, great Jaco Pastorious was with them - such a tragic loss

I would seriously loved to have seen Weather Report back in the day. Reading about him, I didn't realise that despite a prodigious talent, he died in such tragic circumstances, living on the streets, substance abuse, mental problems and so on. He fell into a coma after getting beaten up in Florida in 1987 and expired a few days later.

He played on Ian Hunter's "You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic" - his bass solo on All American Alien Boy is superb. Really loved his bass playing

Probably knowing my luck!!
