There's a Ned in a blue jumper suit trying to nick yer wheels, James.

And his two mates are standing guards opposite.

IZ.

As Glesga is snowed in and all my colleagues live outside the City, the office had to shut early today as they all buggered off by 12pm, leaving me as the 'One True Weegie' virtually on my ain until 2pm

Finally, for the first time ever I can say that I got to skive off work!

My sympathy man. Falling on my arse a few weeks back hurt -- and as I recall I have a bit more padding in that area than yerself

It's the kinda thing where you'd think the only thing you'd hurt is your pride, isn't it? Quite an astonishing impact though; I'd guess the yell of "SHIIIIIIIIIII......" could have been heard for miles!

The car is parked in front of your driveway, no? No wonder you had such a tough time getting to work.

Here in Greece its still somehow hot.In whole Europe everything is frozen except here .Too bad for me cause i hate hot weather and i love cold and frozen places

That's silly and totally unnecessary.

This morning it was -15. I repeat' That's silly and totally unnecessary.

We had -9 yesterday morning. A relatively mild -3 this morning.

Jeeez -17 this morning, arrived at school to find a blue caretaker, heating's packed in. Had to close school have just got home and am typing with blocks of ice that used to be my fingers.

Even more silly and absolutely unnecessary.

are we allowed to have such daft temperatures? When I'm in charge of the world there'll be nothing lower than -4, just to keep people on their toes, so to speak.

There was a thing on the telly last week about temperatures in Siberia, down to -52 (yes that's minus fifty-two)

But that's foreign - it's why I don't live in foreignland. I chose to reside in a temperate land. Today is not temperate.

that's what Zeno calls Abroadistan

well I finally (after an hour) got my wee car out of the snowdrift, more importantly it took me round the road to the offy for a much needed recargo

And I'm sure they'll try to convince you that 'in fact it does not FEEL that cold up there', they tried that with me in Egypt (but with 'hot' obviously).

IZ.

2pm finish again as only 4 of us and 1 manager turned up.

'mon the Skivers!

Thaw started today, and about bloody time too. Everyone's a little annoyed with it by this point in time. "OK, we've done snow, howabout we move on, eh?"

I'm currently melting the sheets of ice off the inside of my window.

Strongest team in the league....

....holding everyone else up

Threats for flurries in the past two days, but I have not seen any.

29 degrees C and sunny here ATM

Just a cm worth, but powdery enough to sweep the walkway without effort and clear the windshield with just the wipers.

it's back 'bout half a inch
