It's like you laughing when the UK gets 30 Deg and there's a warning , because you're used to that too.
The UK gets cold every year but the media react as though cold weather is something new.

Saab went straight through the test today, nice man even turned a blind eye to the EML ( message on the dash readout told him it was gearbox related).
I was more concerned about the chunk of rear tyre SWMBO had removed from the sidewall, but that just got an advisory. New tyres being fitted now, here's to another 21 years!

Just started and finished a trog round the countryside at a local sports club. Today must be girl's footy day. Must have been 60 of 'em zipping about on 3 pitches. I don't think any of them were over 4ft high. :lol: They all seemed to be having a whale of a time. The fans/parents were making more encouraging noises than when the blokes play.

Only down-side was the din in the café from the ones who had finished :shock: Half of them left and the noise level went down by at least 0.5 decibels. :lol: In the foyer by the entrance there were about 30 pairs of tiny boots scattered at random (studs not allowed in the café)...good luck to the parents sorting that lot out. :lol:

Nice to see kids doing something other than staring at a screen.
