"I'm freezing right now, I'm shivering while I'm on dialysis, but I won't put the heating on because it's too expensive," says Nicky Telford.

And he says this, whilst wearing just a fucking vest. It's no wonder the thick twat is unemployed if he can't figure out to put a couple of extra layers on to keep warm.
He's wearing a vest in that photo because he is actually having dialysis, you can see the catheters in his arms are full of blood.
I bet, if he looked really hard, he could find a blanket. Or a duvet. Or any number of items that would keep him from shivering.

He probably did have one on but the TV crew will have said 'take it off and look cold'. :(

Isn't cutting an arm off a bit extreme?

Less blood to change, will take less time, less time to get cold! Win win win.

It does BMP somewhat that two people can cause major disruption to thousands of people by shinning up the Dartford Bridge and the police response is to hope that the weather turns a bit parky in order that they might come down....

Just open the fucking bridge and let them sit up there for as long as they want....

Hide in a fridge. It worked for Indiana Jones.

Or, remove all clothing, put head between legs, kiss arse goodbye.

Better still, avoid MSN home page.

I grew up within a couple of miles of the navy base. When I was a kid Pompey still had the requisite "Z Berth" that allowed nuclear submarines to dock there. I clearly remember the cerfuffle in the local paper ("The News", highly original) when the Navy did a leaflet drop all around the dockyard about "what to do if there's a nuclear incident".

Shut ya windows and stay indoors basically :D

Hotel we’ve booked for Wednesday night

We’ve discover some friends live nearby and thought it’d be in ice to have dinner with them.

Phone the hotel, can I book a table for 4 for dinner on Wednesday?

No, we are fully booked because of half term holidays

Oh, we are actually staying there on Wednesday so will kind of need to eat

We’ll call you back if we get any availability…

Being fully booked is fair enough but they are a destination hotel in the middle of fucking nowhere and we’ve never seen kids there. In fact, when we have booked a room before, they’ve called us a couple of days before to confirm the booking and get our dinner reservation which they haven’t done this time.

Had our daughters not bought us a voucher for said hotel, I’d have fucked them off but we’ve got limited time to use it before it expires. If they can’t book us all in for dinner on Thursday, I’m minded to cancel the booking this week, rebook for just before Christmas but not eat or drink in the restaurant and simply use them as a B&B.
