Once again, I reap the benefits through UK's inability to cope with 'extreme' weather! ![]() www.bbc.co.uk/northamptonshire/content/images/2007/02/08/snow_fight_lead_203x152.jpg[/img]Weston Favell School & Sports Plus Leisure Centre - Closed on Thursday and Friday. Woo hoo! Snow hits schools and travellers
BBC weather report
Heavy snowfall in much of England and Wales has closed schools and left travellers battling transport problems.
A number of airport runways were closed with flights cancelled, while train services have also been affected.
Thousands of schools are shut and motorists are being urged to travel only if necessary. Some households are also without power.
Up to 10cm (4in) of snow fell in some areas. Leader of the Commons Jack Straw admitted the UK coped badly with snow.
Amid calls for a parliamentary debate on the weather, Mr Straw told MPs the country needed to be better prepared for a cold snap. Typical, we're all too busy talking about the weather to prepare, so what's the solution? A parliamentary debate. God love the UK!  |

Why thank you Sis. Indeed I did partake of a mocha (and a not so-sophisticated fry-up) in a nice little cafe.
I was intending to play a little x-box to find out what I'm missing out on, but I've just severed my little finger with a cheese knife. It's pouring with blood.
I may faint now.

Vino will help. The blood will then look like the wine and it will cease to gross me out. Not even tea-toalling disapproving fuddy duddy JLLM will be able to argue with that logic when he come in. Excellent.

At least you finished typing. True! Just noticed there's a big trail running down the kitchen sink. I may leave it there for effect seeing as my step son is coming round soon. |

Meaning your stepson is into that kind of thing or you want to gross him out?

Emmett doesn't drink? Good grief. I knew there was something very basically wrong with him.

I love my sliding compound mitre saw too....but I don't juice...do mitre saws juice because if they do, I could get into juicing...
I love sunshine....especially sunshine without wind....
I love sunshine and wind when I take my small nephews kite flying....wind can be useful.

i love it when the sun shines brightly through mild rainstorms that seem to emerge from cloudless skies.
i'm going to use my miter saw to juice humans.
