Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
i set off from bury st edmunds at 4.15 for an hour's drive, normally.
took 1.20 to get to norwich bypass. not bad but nasty snow and wind on the way.
after that.. norwich totally gridlocked. had to abandon car outside outer ring road and walk to other side of city in the snow. stopped for a vodka though. arrived home 8.20 wet and covered in white powdery stuff.
mr strange laughed.
have eaten and showered now and feel humanish.
Heh, I'm just getting ready for work. Just gave my flatmate a lift to work (she starts an hour b4 me). Had to de-snow and de-ice the car. It's unfrosty now, but I know when I head out in about an hour it'll all be frozen up again.
Due to the wonderful gift that is the local powerstation (see posts elsewhere), we have no snow in this part of the northwest.
In fact, where I work- 12 miles away- we had tons, and small children looked curiously/enviously at my snow-covered car as I turned into our road. "Mummy, why has that man got all that funny white stuff all over his car?" "Shut it, yer little b*****d, and get that pie eaten," came the predictable reply.

Heh, no we monitor building cams, not the street ones, we don't see much of the street areas around the sites, but if you want to break into one of our sites I'll see you on cam. I'll even be able to arrange a "lift" home for you from the boys in blue! Saying that, we probably wouldn't see you at all. Or the activations wouldn't come in for 20 mins. Our system were pretty outdated when they were put in 5 years ago!
Join the winter club! Sunday nite 8 inches of snow. Was allowed to take unscheduled leave rather than try to go into work. Was off, shoveling snow.
Braved the icy and I mean icy roads yesterday before dawn to gather up my laptop and some work before heading home. Work closed 3 hours early due to freezing rain. The subway was running a minimal schedule due to ice on the tracks. At least I got my 8 hour day in at home.
Today, more ice this morning and another 2 inches of snow. Lots of car wrecks on the morning commute.... at home!
Anyway, it's white out here. And the local deer just ran through the yard!

Mmm... reminds me of a Macbeth tutorial I had at leeds Uni in the Workshop Theatre, next to the Parkinson Steps. It was with a tutor called Tanya who was a white witch. She had pulled the theatre drapes round and killed all the lights except for a small flame. She then prcoceeded to break parts off small objects she was holding and drop them into the flames whilst telling us (only 3 had turned up) the history of witchcraft in the middle ages... Straight into the Fenton after that...
I am a Leeds United fan because I was very naughty in a previous life.

Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you're near the rain goes, disappears, and I feel fine
Just to know that you are mine
My life is sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows
That's how this refrain goes
So come on and join in, everybody
Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay

Aw poor Hal.
It must suck to be you.
At least I didn't have to de-ice my car when I got out of work this morning. The temp hadn't risen high enough for any condensation! Yay!
It's not really good enough to slow from 90 down to 45 if you continue to drive 3 inches behind the car in front like the imbecile who tailed me into work this morning.
Equally, people driving down the middle of the road (a totally clear road) at 5 MPH because of a bit of ice on the pavement are quite annoying. Not to mention those who drive along the outside lane at 50 MPH because there's a bit of snow in the central reservation.

Either drive properly or stay home. Grrr.
Because they are assholes! Had one last big snow on my street. 6 inches of snow and the bastard was tailgating me. Stopped at red light and asshole makes a right hand turn far to fast....and spins out. Serves the prick right!
We've had plenty up here, but as I'm signed off work sick at present I don't have to venture out in it
I can just sit and admire the view from my humble abode.
My sympathies got out to my fellow Heartlanders who are travelling in it though as trying to get from A to B in these conditions is feckin' abysmal
