Got a ....... shudder......job!
As I'm over for a couple of months, might as we'll earn a bit of pocket money
I've managed 10 years without succumbing to the tempation
Not too much right now but loads forecast this week Downside is that I do really want to get to the valley for a blood test - have messaged a friend to see if I can borrow his car!
But either way - I do so love snow Just got to find where I put all my hats n gloves n scarves!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!
Dissolved snow here on the Sarf Coast. It’s urinating down! Staffie rebellion has occurred and there is lots of heavy sighing and judgemental looks when the back door is opened.

"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."

Pah, I've driven 25 miles to the office, bossing it in the snow in my Swedish pimp wagon.
Took me ages to get all the snow off the car, shouldn't have bothered, no fucker else on the commute had, snow falling off cars all over the shop.
You mean you didn't slide it in sideways?
Nanny state plastic brains wouldn’t let him and he’s told old (ie over 18) to figure out the Scandi menus to get to the “off” switch.

Pfffft, I did 85 miles into work, after reading about how Armageddon had come and the roads were impassable, and the local council hadn't gritted 'owt.

Nah - I'd have been singing Christmas songs whilst taking pot shots at the arseholes dropping snow off their cars or driving with fog lights on in the rain!!

Very (very)briefly considered taking a bike to work this morning as hadn't ridden either for 10 days due to man flu and decided not to bother - Cue snow.
In other news the next door neighbor's cat has turned up so that's a win

That reminds me of the time I picked a trailer up from the docks,midwinter & freezing,I had to bang all the ice from the airline connectors so that I could connect the tractor unit to the trailer.After I got everything sorted & got things moving I got to the end of the docks,did a sharp turn & 45ft/13.6 mtr of ice crashed from the trailer roof.The joys of trucking
