Actually I'm building a "Snow Person".

I built a snow man for my daughter this morning. He really is an excellent fellow. I had a flash of inspiration when it came to the face and grabbed her Mr Potato-Head. He has bog-eyes, a red nose, a goofy smile, blue plastic spectacles, pink jug-ears, a construction worker's hat on and small arms that make him look like he'd qualify for special care in the community.
His name is Bernie Winters.

It's the heaviest snow for 18 years, America, Canada and the Russians have exceedingly worse weather regularly, It is not cost effective to spend the millions it would cost to prepare for these things that happen in 18 year cycles, but if you want the government to pay for this and you be able to work no matter then expect to pay allot for it. Scotland does not get in such a fanckle because not many people live here.
- the news today.mistermik
- "fanckle" not heard that in ages, will use it constantly from now onkelpie
- US, Canada, Northern Europe, have regular and massive disruptions due to snow.Khurram
- I remember catching a train New York to Toronto about 6 years ago. We were delayed in Buffalo for 6 hours...Khurram
- because the trains engine had frozen and they had to get a new one.Khurram

I am so embarrassed to be part of this place at times. Most countires get way more snow then this and manage just fine, but here in England, busses, trains, trams and even the tube ( yes the underground tube ) has come to a standstill.
I hang my head in shame.

its like the flooding too - folks up here scoff at the little englanders and their inability to deal with fairly normal levels of downpour for us up here, but Scotland is built to take a dumping on regularly. Geology, topography, everything is designed to be very wet, all the time. Not so down south.

Fuck london transport, fuck the mayor, fuck the council, and fuck the unions!
Eugh... actually, i really don't give a shit.

They'll be opening up the o2 arena next as a place for refuge for people who's days have been ruined by the snow
Honestly, this is getting about as much news coverage in the UK and is being reported as if it's as bad as the hurricane and floods that hit New Orleans!
- well the reporters have to justify emailing in their work from bedkelpie
