OK, start something interesting.

Post by Nick »

.
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 :snowman

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?

Oooh, 10 days, how will you cope lol lol

Some git pm'd me and told me to stop lurking, I couldn't find the energy for nearly two months to bother responding to another racist/bigot/idiot/fhart/young-people-are-rubbish/kill the homos/anon anon anon posts.

If you didn't react to them they wouldn't bully you, maybe you should try joining them rather than fighting it, I have just organised a daily wail subscription for you...

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

Curmudgeony ol' me hates the stuff, though on here it is falling remarkably slowly, maybe the wind in jockland is just a zephyr, it was blizzard-like last week when the snow fell here. Best not show this page to my better half, as a kiwi she still gets far too excited about snow. I wouldn't mind but she has lived here now as long as she lived in NZ, first fall of the year and she is wanting to walk in the crisp flake.

Why does the speed of these flakes keep changing?

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.

Claymore

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?
