snow!

Robot · February 2009

Can't believe nobody else has started a snow thread. Well here is a place to make snowmen, throw snowballs and in a day's time or so, moan about the slush.

andy · February 2009

Anyone bunking off work? I'm supposed to be meeting people who are coming in from cambridge. I think I can safely assume that isn't going to happen.

matt · February 2009

Amazing isn't it?! I'm still considering getting the overground into the studio. Or I could just play Mario Kart all day. Hmm.

katiejane · February 2009

Play Mario Kart all day. Actually can I send my six year old son to join you? The school is practically closed, and he loves MK. If he misbehaves, just take him outside and bury him in the snow.

SimonB · February 2009

I was out last night and this morning taking photos

Sadly the office is insisting that it's open and that I should come in ... DAMN!

andy · February 2009

We were just out in it and the dog saw a ghost!

written by a bakerloo line driver, <a href="http://severe-delays.livejournal.com/67893.html">here</a> is an explanation of at least some of the reasons the underground can't cope with snow...

all meetings now officially cancelled.

sophie · February 2009

did anyone hear boris being an arse on the world at one? martha kearney said "not even the blitz stopped ALL london buses!" and he replied "we gritted, we grat, we grut, but the problem is that the snow falls on top of it". surely the point is that once it falls on top of the grit it melts, thus removing the problem? martha said "your conjugation is very impressive but that's enough, on your bike" and cut him off! hurrah!

Billy Bookcase · February 2009

Martha Kearney's right-wing inclinations are even worse than Boris' own.

sophie · February 2009

she does usually do my nut rather but in this context i had to thank her for shutting him up.

Fin · February 2009

Lady at no. 10 (or thereabouts), Evershot Rd has created a very impressive snow statue in the front garden. Worth a look.

Liz · February 2009

Left the house just after 7 and went to work - it was really pretty and so silent. Was in by 8, no problems at all on the transport front, then ran around outside my work (near Southwark Cathedral/Golden Hinde) taking photos. Have come home early though just in case everything freezes when it gets dark like it did a couple of years ago. My favourite snow thing: the snow on my round garden table, which looks like the inside of a Tunnocks tea cake.

princess_l · February 2009

Just went to Finsbury Park for a snow-laden walk - lovely! Very busy with hooded youngsters trying to ice the crap out of each other, but apart from that most picturesque.

slats · February 2009

did anyone see the snowmen (and snowdog) on the bench in FP? very good, there were people queuing for photo's when i walked past

Chapter none · February 2009

I'd just like to say that myself and Cake we're the fastest down the path on our snowboard sledge. All the people with for-sale signs must try harder (I'm guessing it's the most use those signs have had for months, probably taken from their own unsellable houses as the salty tears form little icicles down their faces; or it's out of work estate agents in which case I laugh in your recently discarded shitty foxtons faces)...

unaesthetic · February 2009

"out of work estate agents"...

aw, such a heart-warming thought!

Chapter none · February 2009

I smile every time I walk past the empty offices...

Luckily they won't have to do much to turn most of their stores into coffee shops...

Four Eyes · February 2009

@ slats - was this the snowman you were talking about. Liked the addition of his Arsenal scarf...

Has anyone else been the victim of a snowball attack? I've been hit twice now, today and yesterday, by random youths. Is this normal? Is this acceptable?

James · February 2009

Yeah I did on Monday There were quite a few kids standing on the roof of the building next to christopher charles on tollington park throwing snowballs straight down on to people's heads. To be honest it did seem to have moved past loveable rogues

Vista · February 2009

Hasn't anyone else noticed that since the onset of snow the depressing headlines about the recession have disappeared? One could almost be forgiven for thinking that the recession is over.

Headlines are now dominated by the white stuff. Long may it continue.

Just an observation.

Liz · February 2009

Yes, I thought that this morning when the news/speculation about interest rate changes was only mentioned after the weather and travel!

sincers · February 2009

Hi everyone - SG newbie!
I notice the "experts" are peddling their global warming nonesense though...just in case we thought global warming was all over...its not as cold as the sixites apparently!

matt · February 2009

I have to admit to noticing on "snow day" that every single person i walked past or met on my travels was in a good mood!

Howdy, Stranger!
