Lbm Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have got more looks and attention from women on my bike than I ever get in my car. Which is nice. Carl last seen recently prowling cycling up and down in the nude, but at least it was done with style... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Exactly. Funny that LBM, a mate of mine sent me a bday card rather similar to that pic. Perhaps there was some hidden coded message in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've told my other half to expect a good seven inches at some point tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Its not as easy as that is it...... there is plenty of salt but its now under an inch or so of compacted snow......its us, ie individual drivers that aren't prepared for it, no winter tyres and thousands of people with no experience of driving in it = big problems. Ok - that takes care of us incompetent drivers; what about the trains, the airports - pretty much everything is at a standstill. What do Scandinavian countries, US states, Canada, etc do in order to deal with such conditions? mind you, I do agree that the roads now are pretty bad - about 7-8 inches of snow where I am (DOCKLANDS) and more to come.... So anyone driving - be very very careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot comes back to the various workers ie signal men, ticket office staff, check in staff, pilots etc etc etc not being able to get to work............

bigcol Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 im confused, how the fook can snow shut down the underground? now i know im a northerner who thinks that London is just an oversized, polluted stinkhole but, im at a loss, isnt the underground, UNDERGROUND and thats why it is called "the underground" so if it is undergound how the fook does snow affect it? is it really a cold day in hell? is it snowing underground? or is just another excuse for lazy southern poofs who are scared of a bit of snow to blag a day off? I blame the immigrants:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the immigrants:d Almost all of the underground goes overground at some point. Very few lines (Victoria only?) are 100% underground.

DaveK Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I wish it would all just melt. I have to take some speakers back that I had on home demo, for which I left a sizeable deposit on my credit card. I realised this morning that my card statement is issued on the 5th, so if I don't get them back soon they will appear on the bill. I'm not sure what will happen when the deposit is refunded after the bill has been issued. Will they take the amount on the statement, or will they reduce it by the refund? I'd rather not find out. Stupid snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well I got back to the yard to find my Supe has been sprayed White;) Down here in the coastal areas in Devon, this is very rare, can only remember snow this deep once in my life and I am too close to 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraTRD83 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looks like the snow is to stay this time.. Just had a fun drive to work, A13 between M25 and Dag' actually had a layer of snow on it, a couple of wobbly bum times when changing lanes were fun. Canary Wharf is also getting a nice layer of snow, so should be fun going home too. *** Edit *** Just to prove my point, watch this corvette driver loose control in the snow and be thrown from his car, god rest his soul. i need to know, did he survive? looked terrible, no way cud he control tht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 They didn't even attempt to grit the roads this morning - side roads, I can understand, but the M25, M40, A41, A405 & A40 are significant arterial routes. My sister lives in Connecticut near NYC and flew here last night and just thinks the whole UK shutdown is a national embarrassment. They measure snow in feet over there and we have known this was coming for a week yet still councils are claiming they were caught 'on the hop'.
