A little light reading...

I suppose many of you have come across this website before .. http://twm.co.nz but I only just stumbled upon it. Quite interesting reading ... TWM offer to make favourable weather for your event etc (for $$ - a money back guarantee) .. if they are refused, then the most dire weather possible is cast upon the event ... Apparently responsible for the fickle weather during the America's Cup, drought and all sorts (see article below - and especially the comments at the end).

And I bet plenty of misguided people (aka Freakish New Age Bozos) actually pay them too. Why don't I ever think of these things first? I guess it's because I'm not completely and utterly unscrupulous and immoral. Sigh. Oh well...

Perhaps if theyre paid enough they can stop the unsettled weather but then again most people on this forum like unsettled weather so are they paying them enough so what will the weather do :?
