I have vowed to give up the Lounge for at least the rest of the year, so would be much obliged if people could get off their cyber-backsides and post some interesting stuff to keep me amused.
And no need to thank me for the snow, no need at all

I suggest we run a sweep on how long you can refrain.
Oh and thanks for the snow. Would I be right in thinking you have made it even more annoying than last year?
Bah humbug.

Yes, it is particularly irritating snow, isn't it?
Have you tried typing 'let it snow' into Google recently?

With 12C forecast for tomorrow, a light drizzle would be more appropriate. It's pretty though.

You lot just don't know how lucky you are.
Claymore is suffering from the triple attack of the Daughters cooking, Danish beds and Feckless himself.
It goes dark at lunchtime, it freezes the pee in your willie and the drink is too expensive for any sorrow drowning activities.
The granddaughter is great and goes a long way towards making up for the above but seaweed soup is - in my humble opinion - not something I would wish to get used to.

Interesting. More info about the the interaction of expensive drink and frozen pish, please!

your pee clearly requires a greater percentage of alcohol to stop it freezing, may I suggest reducing the water you take with it?
