Harrowing has the wife had to defrost the windscreen this morning?

I chuckled all yesterday thinking of the poor lady trudging 5 miles, through a hostile environment, to dispose of a bucket full of luke warm water.

It's very third worldish only in reverse, there the poor women folk have to walk 5 miles a day to collect a bucket of luke warm water

Thanks for your "sympathy" :rotfl:

No the lucky devil's car frost cover had melted away by 8:50 ! Remember we live in warmer climes than Lincolnshire and Pennines, or is it just the huge density of houses insulating us more...

Good news - the council will be polling for residents parking in February, although these things take so long to implement even if the public vote "yes" - need time for legal challenges. I mean, if the government is elected fair-and-square they don't have a 3-month pause whilst legal challenges are made? Except in Zimbabwe :eek:

You've got 'em all at it now!

:rotfl: LOL! Although snow usually insulates from the nastier glue-on ice!

Did you wear your best bib and tucker for the council meeting?

Any banners? "Our bite's worse than our bark
We demand the right to park"

Nope, in was in a church and was there heating? - was there heck! But didn't put on my thickly padded parker:eek:
Very nice council lady in the chair, reminded me that the party I didn't vote for aren't all flesh-eating monsters :rolleyes:
funniest moment was when i dared to mention the possibility of one-way roads to ease congestions and road rage. She said that was about the the most unpopular thing for residents and everyone laughed. i felt about as humble as humble pie....amistupid continue (trickier one for you than normal)

No banners, a very respectable-looking lot. Apart from me of course but I resisted rude jokes for once....

Does Mrs "H" carry the bucket on her head. :rotfl:

I hope you've considered the Health and Safety implications.

amistupid

Humble pie...... more please

harrowing_3

As you've asked the question: yes - she carries it on her head, where else, she's got the grocery bag and document case to carry by arm

LOL, but no, would prefer the pie - Bill oddie can keep Ms Humble..

As humble as

Constantly fawning on his employer, humble Uriah Heap was a servile creature. “I am well aware that I am the ‘umblest person going”, he used to say. “My mother is also a very ‘umble person. We live in a ‘umble abode.” Charles Dickens, “David Copperfield”

Hooray, especially, as I intimated, I missed my slice of Dickens last night due to some stupid cow plastered across our screens

Yep, that's a picture of how I looked when I was laughed down :rotfl:
