Snow...

miss annie

...Is forecast for London on Thursday and Friday. Mid afternoon snifters by the fire in the Stapleton anyone?

Arkady

My work are miserablists when it comes to that sort of think – no show no pay.

sincers

I believe that's quite common. I LOVE snow though, so if they call a snow day I'll be all over the Stapleton fire-side snifters! After snowman building of course.

Ali

So it is Eggnog and lemonade on Saturday !

tosscat

I think eggnog and lemonade would curdle, however, advocaat and lemonade plus lime may be the weapon to which you refer.

Do you think we should tell the Council so they don't make such a gigantic arse of things like they did with last year's 'surprise winter'?

Arkady

A new grit box has appeared on Albany Road. There were people scooping ice out with pint glasses this morning.

graeme

Cool!

Siolae

I LOVE snow. Was perusing weekend breaks to Lapland in case the promised white stuff doesn't materialise. So excited!

Ali

The WLM Gents toilet urinals have little green mats in them with little stand up football goals post and nets on them to aim at ! They have a think Paddy Power adds on them along the lines that you not going to score in here tonight bet at Paddy Power or something. Maybe one of the regulars like Four Eyes could confirm the text on them or how about a photo ?

miss annie

Think you're on the wrong thread Ali.

ADGS

I did think it unlikely that the coked up teenage crowd had suddenly relocated from the Fullback to the WLM, which would be the only reason to start discussing the loos under 'snow'.

Ali

Your right !

missisclack

I built an igloo, big enough to stand up in, in Sheffield during a crazy snow storm. It lasted a full week before starting to melt.

Four Eyes

I was wondering how we suddenly changed subject from snow to the gents at the WLM?!

Ali, yes the tasteless goals in the urinals that you 'shoot' through were put in for the world cup. I think they've gone now. Yes they were sponsored by Paddy Power, and yes, sadly I do have a pic which I can dig out somewhere!

I must point out that I do not make a habit of taking pictures in the gents of the WLM!

Four Eyes

Oh and Ali, I think the thread you were looking for was 'the sugar lounge doesn't care about it's neighbours' one. And the discussion about hardcore gay porn venues and cruising has become slightly disjointed now that someone deleted their comment about wanting to turn the 'Family Area' at the back of Spoons, into a dark room/cruising area...

ADGS

I was in the 'Family Area' last night with some gays, but it still wasn't very cruisy. And yes, the urinal goals are gone.

Emma

WAIT - Ali is a man??

Arkady

Emma, I share your surprise, though I know others who thought my assumption was mistaken.

tosscat

Of course Ali is a man.

miss annie

Yes, easy to tell.

miss annie

Of course it would snow on a day when I can't skive off!

ADGS

Yeah, I have very little work to do most weeks, but what's the one time I'm always busy? Tuesday mornings. Even my fully unemployed friends have pointless workshops &c. I blame the Coalition. Somehow.

sincers

The Parkland Walk was amazing this morning.

Marquis

Good God, please don't tell me you went jogging!

WillM

May well be heading to the park over lunchtime with camera and big thick woolly socks.

sincers

No, just walking to the 19 bus stop, which is a bit of a pain at the moment with the station being resurfaced at a snails pace! There were some runners out this morning and it didn't seem as cold as yesterday, but I reckon wet trainers would have been a bit of an issue.

miss annie

The weather wizards have prophesied that it's going to drop to minus four tonight! Well, they do say be careful what you wish for... although it's ever so pretty the snow is making things rather dicey outside. A big thank you to everyone who has cleared the pavements outside their houses, makes tottering around a little bit easier - I even had to abandon the heels today.

kreuzkav

More snow please! It's so lovely on SGR.

tosscat

Yeah, lots more snow please - I need a snow day, the bastard Harringay/City line is working too well.
