I do not recommend driving now...

[Easy 10]

FICK black ice everywhere now. I just tried driving to Portslade tesco, but after creeping along in 1st gear and STILL slithering around all over the place, and almost sliding into a roundabout at 10mph, I did an about-turn and went home. That is absolutely undrivable, glad as hell I didn't attempt going to Haywards Heath this morning. Even if I'd made it, I would undoubtedly have been killed instantly at some point on the way home. Or possibly maimed.

Car is retired until further notice.

I`m doing some re-furb work in some offices and the bird from accounts said she would get my cheque sorted today but the useless mare couldn`t even make it in from Crawley to Partridge Green..................

I was never worried about getting to work today. Soft crunchy snow - no danger.

Tomorrow, if there's little or no snow overnight, the whole place will be a skating rink.

 

[Scotty Mac]

driving has been an absolute rape scene today

 

[Everest]

I went out this afternoon to clear the snow off the car. I did one side and half the bonnet. Then my hand snapped off with the cold, so it's staying snowbound.

Unless you're in a 4x4 with James Bond spikes in the wheels, the SLIGHTEST gradient will defeat most cars tonight. I was going to order a takeaway, but I don't want the delivery guys blood on my hands. Or my pizza.

im concerned about WALKING to the pub

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Pizza? Why are you spending £8 plus on a pizza when you can buy it in a shop and cook it for much less?

I have the same concerns. 7pm I'm due.
The things I do to SAVE my local. But you've just got to get on with it really, havn't you. That Kronenbourgs not going to drink itself.

I TRIED going to a shop - see above.

 

[Marc]

yeah walking to the pub sounds TREACHEROUS, that beer better be good when I get there!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Fail

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It is the walking BACK that concerns me more.

the fact that the pub is OPPOSITE my house means that i shouldnt have concerns - how hard can it be to cross a road? yet everytime i close my eyes i foresee the terrible image of a man (myself) STACKING it infront of the patrons who are all eagerly watching out of the window just waiting for it to happen

and as far as walking home the lady i am going to be going with - well, she can DO ONE if she thinks i am going out of my way merely for the inevitable embarassment of falling over

these conditions just aren't meant to be mixed with strong continental lager

 

[Durlston]

It's a good reason to stay in tonight and watch the start of the World Championship Darts.

 

[Easy 10]

I might tie some tennis rackets to my shoes, like they do in comics.
That'll work, won't it ?

 

[gullshark]

Pah, I've got a 4 wheel drive coupe and driving was fine today, easy peasy

my round is it then ?

 

[vegster]

Been out and about a bit today and surpisingly, have not seen ONE gritter out. Apart from central Brighton the A259 was covered with frozen slush which is rapidly solidifying..... Disgraceful !

my round is it then ?

Just looking through the lining of the sofa , then am off down there.
