Strawbs

when i go out i.e. will my pipes freeze? you will have to excuse me if that seems a silly question but ive not been in a big snowfall like this before (im foreign!!).. xxx

Jah lush you are better than that!! You know there is always room for one more..

1pm for anyone who fancies a drink to warm up.. so far me hannah6_6 Brendan (if he gets enough work done) Hibbs gigirl Mike P (but he is actually working from home so we have to twist his arm a little more).. See you all there and anyone else that fancies a wee tipple..

totally agree with the sentiment of just sit back, relax and enjoy! Its not like this happens every winter, this is the first winter in 4 years that I have been here that I have seen it.. Its my very first UK snow day and I am absolutely loving it!! x

6 inches????????? oh my goodness.. hopefully that means we will be off work tomorrow too!! woop woop x

gwan you know you wanna!! we can all eat before we come out to save cash if need be and then just head to the bishop maybe for a loverly glass of pinot g!

hannah6_6 is keen for a drink at 12.30.. as is gigirl.. anyone else?

How about the edt or bishop at 1230? A few people I know are heading to the herne to be near the fire if that option is not too far people? X

ha ha ha ha too funny!!!

ha ha ha vbc,, just waiting for my jeans to dry on the radiator and then im off on an expedition.. if peeps are around at lunch time we could always pick a central pub i.e the palmerston or edt maybe and meet for a mulled wine to warm up!! x

I am so going to get out there later just waiting for it to not be so dark!! I wonder if the corner shops are open as I am wanting some milk so i can have a hot tea!!

Ive never had a snow day before and couldnt quite believe my ears when the news said all south eastern trains were cancelled and i would have to stay home - touch!! a mass EDF gathering today at the pub given we can all walk in our wellies!!?? >:D< just wish somehow i had know before i got up and had a shower so am WIDE AWAKE... drats.. x

Thank goodness I get off at Peckham every night!!!

the keene group, sorry dont know number of top of my head (sure it ends in 1000) but you could google..

Sanity girl - I would absolutely LOVE THEM!!!! that would be so brilliant!! Well I am ashamed to admit it but I tried to log on to freecycle and I just didnt get it and couldnt see anything that was available so I gave up.. :-$

A can opener that works.. Every time I try to open something I curse the gods above and then stupidly put it back in the utensil holder and repeat! I need to own the following A hoover that actually sucks stuff up off the ground A can opener that works Ramakens Wire thingys that go on the radiators to dry the clothes like Hannah6_6 has little lovely white pots for choc desserts to go in A griddle a basting brush I have absolutely no cash so wont be going and buying anything but that is my list if someone is feeling generous!! ;-)

I absolutely disagree that it is an irrelevant detail. It is helpful in the description as it then excludes potential suspects of different races hence their search for the offender is narrowed.. I think there are people just being outright argumentative on this thread for seemingly no particular reason and they may have failed to notice but you are not really achieving much either!

I am so surprised at the direction the thread has taken.. I dont think this thread is pointless nor is it about black people, the guy could have been purple with pink stripes and the initial post wouldnt have differed!! The guy is clearly a wierdo regardless of whether he has a suitcase, knife or a bloomin hankie and the woman involved felt threatened and frightened and to be quite frank with you if it had of happened to me I would have posted also to try and warn other people that this guy was about.. Regardless of whether the woman was hurt or not the frightening experience remains the same and none of us would laugh off if it happened to us or want to have it happen to us or someone we know, does someone need to be seriously hurt or killed before a situation is taken seriously??!! Surely we should just be able to see the thread for what it is which is a person who felt frightened and had a bit of a traumatic experience warning others to be careful, why does it then need to turn in a b*tch fest and mud slinging match! I dont mean to come across cranky or abrupt as I am sure it could be read as I just think this thread needs a little reality check..

Im feeling a little like this... Got the day off tomorrow though so a bit excited about that! http://www.laughparty.com/funny-pictures/Bored-Baby-1284.jpg

My view is that if you dont like your job then dont do it but dont be rude whilst you figure it out! Whilst I do get that drivers on buses seem to get alot of stick (not that I have personally ever seen any) they have absolutely no right to take that out on or be rude to a passenger that isnt doing anything wrong.. If they dont like it then can go and sign up down at the job centre.. If I was that rude to people I work with I would be fired and I work in a brokerage firm! I was only saying the other day that I make a point of saying thank you when I get on and then when I get off the bus and some drivers are quite receptive but others just literally grunt at you or completely ignore you.. I will continue to say thank you for my sake and also for the drivers that are nice..
