Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Snowing in London for last hour

EL

I'm not sure what you are talking about...do you?

Oh my god a snowflake in London , army will be on the streets by noon.

It's so funny watching London trying to cope with what many parts of the country have to cope with numerous times each winter.

Bet it's the lead story on the BBC news channel too !

Haystack , snowed on and off for over 12 hours here since yesterday lunchtime.

Took me an hour and a half to get out of Guildford last night! I've never had an energy deal, with BG for both so probably paying through the nose for energy.

Only snowed here for about 40 minutes. We coped.

Tristram's resignated

Another Blairite jumping the sinking ship, plus Hunts constituents voted to
LEAVE in the referendum, so looks like he's getting out before he was kicked
out by UKIP in next GE...

He's taken early retirement, even though he's never had a proper job in his life.

O'bama's last betrayal against Israel before he leaves office...

But that WILL change when Trump takes over, to end the islamist expansion
into Israel itself..

Lol , nice one Haystack good job it didn't snow for an hour :-)

Its nice to know we have hardened characters like you in the capital Hays, ready to cope with any emergency. I had to pass through the Peoples Republic of Islington yesterday. My bank is on Islington High Street but I haven't been back in years. Anyhow, at the border I was advised that there is a 20 mph speed limit in all of the republic. First to ever do so it proclaims. For safety's sake. Hardly necessary since my average speed passing through was less than 10 mph. Kamikaze cyclists by the dozen but not a snowflake in sight. Not even Jeremy.

Were they hiding from you?

Quite a few areas in London are now 20 mph. Fine on side roads but a but silly on main roads and bus routes. I remember driving in Canada in Saskatchewan where my parents lived for a while. The side roads in the tow were 15 mph. My father's car was a Ford Fairlane. So big you could walk around in the boot. Quite difficult to drive that slowly.

I still have my Explorer that I brought from the States. 5 litre engine. Petrol was less than a $1 a (US) gallon at the time. I rarely use it now except for transporting my dogs. Could (almost) fit a husky pack in the back.

Sounds like UKIP and the followers.

YOU'LL VOMIT .

Probably lose their Stoke seat to UKIP now , Corbyn on TV at the weekend ,proper loony tune.
