Oh, caught me again just sorting through a few more of Fish's offcuts.
Don't give offcuts trying to do the weather.
You can imagine it's not much fun.
Still we've had our fair lineup of weather people this year.
There's Old Blue and there's Root for Ray, Baby McGee the Major,
and of course John Remus who has never stuck for a word or two.
So to the synoptic chart and if you saw the weather last night
well you can be forgiven for thinking that the synoptic chart
is virtually the same as last night because the high has hardly moved at all.
It's exerted once again at south-east to north-easterly air stream,
south-easterly for the east, south and east, south and south-east coasts
and the rest of the state north-easterly.
That really is going to be the situation tomorrow
only that it will have moved slightly to the east
and it'll be more of an easterly to north-easterly air stream
as against a south-east to easterly.
But we'll talk about that again when we look at tomorrow's chart.
Let's have a look at the satellite photograph and just as a matter of interest
we have some decaying frontal bands and why?
I don't want to!
You fucking bastards, bastards, bastards.
Well cricket skippers around the state will be praying that
the weather suits them tomorrow to tell us what's going to happen.
Here's John Remus.
Thanks very much Peter.
I'd do the weather if I had a stick but John's got that.
Would you like to pass it over to me John?
Well, no, you can do it, maybe you can hear me, oh you can see me now.
Anyway, thanks very much Peter.
It looks as though the rain may queer the picture of the cricketers
in the north-west of the state, possibly in the north.
Down south it mightn't be too bad.
More about that later.
So the forecast very quickly, rain developing tomorrow night
and overnight drizzle in this part of the state.
Apache rain, showers extending eastwards for the rest.
There is a strong wind warning for north and east coastal waters.
Population centres, drizzle and showers for the north-west 18.
Launceston's range 13 to 23 cloudy conditions.
In Hobart, cloud increasing and there are no figures up but cloud increasing,
a range of 14 to 22 knots for Hobart.
Well, a bit knocked up there.
I'm not quite sure what happened.
I think I missed out on the satellite photograph but we've run out of time
so we'll have to give that a miss for tonight
but I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow anyway.
Goodnight.
Onto harness racing and there was a big meeting at the show grounds
in Hobart today, nine events on the card and all the races starting
with the dividends for race one and there the numbers were three, two and 10.
The main event on the card out there today was the final of the Dandy Patch Stakes.
We'll be looking at that along with six other races shortly
but the dividends for the first two events, we haven't got them for you
at the moment, I'll give you some more results from overseas.
And in cricket, the West Indies have started off their tour
of England very well, winning the second match of the tour
against Somerset by some innings and 101 runs.
Marshall taking five, Wicket's small three so it was pace destroying
the Somerset batsmen this time.
I think I've got a phone call.
Hello?
Okay, thanks mate.
Right, let's get into the action anyway
from the hardest racing this afternoon.
Here's race three, you'll call us Gerald Plunkett.
Well, that's sport.
Now, let's find out about the weather.
Here's Ray Allen.
Eventually.
Well, I was going to do the weather for John Remus one time earlier in the year.
I might just do it for you too Ray.
It's a bit far to go over there.
Well, today was pretty wet.
I was up at New Norfolk, it rained all the first quarter
but then the weather cleared.
Ray will tell us what happened in the rest of the state.
Thanks.
Well, I hope you were able to make more sense of that than I was.
Before we go any further, here's a small tribute to the TSO.
Yes, no I don't like sour notes either.
Talking of sour notes, we've had a few during the year,
particularly in our evening transmission.
I think that's what you call it these days.
Have a look at this.
The Victorian Public Service Association says an extension of prison industries
will bring a dangerous new era for jail security.
The association says equipment and some substances used in prisons
are a threat to both prison officers and prisoners.
I'm sorry we're having trouble with that item.
We'll see if we can bring it to you later.
Thank you.
Yes, we'll try and bring you that item a little later.
Victoria's three main teacher unions have combined into,
well I think I've already told you about that, haven't I?
We'll go on to the next item.
Joint action in the first quarter of the match at Devonport Oval.
Our commentator is Paddy Martin.
The actual site for the study hasn't yet been confirmed,
but if it goes ahead it seems likely it will be near here,
close to one of Hobart's main industrial areas.
If there are found to be any irregularities,
what should Mr Bingham do?
While major retailers are expecting a stampede of customers
in the last four shopping days before Christmas
to make up for a generally poor start to December,
it appears there's no shortage of money about for expensive
presents like these.
Brum, brum.
And I don't think Robin Gray's got sufficient gray matter
between the ears to understand what it's all about.
I think he's just a fuckwit.
It is an attempt by force to prevent others from doing
what they have a right to do.
One egg hit Mrs. Thatcher squarely on the chest.
More eggs and also tomatoes, ice cream and butter
rained down on her entourage.
