Snowing since midnight here in W Yorks. Chaos again. Radion saying on the road I go past Leeds Bradford airport the traffic hasn't shifted for an hour. B*ggered if I'm sitting in traffic for that long. Will work from home and go in later.
Welford Road doesn't have undersoil heating, despite being the most state of the art Rugby ground. However, because it is the SKY game this weekend, they have had access to one of the three RFU extreme weather kits. Basically a set of covers (inflatable dome) and heaters, hence the pitch has...

Sao Paulo, that is quite grim.
Been a good show, thought they were overplaying George, but everyone seems to be getting 2-3 songs eventually. Top stuff by Paolo, Florence, Dizee and Kasabian, as well as Jools:clap2:
Was never a fan of Schumacher when he was racing, but he was an undoubted talent and is one of the top 2-3 drivers there has been to date. Yeah, he had his moments of madness, but then did Senna, who was the best.
