Nice people thread part 3- Nice as pie

Malcolm.

Thanks for the link. Very much appreciated lir /exo! I'll have a good read later.

The roads here were terrible today. I lost tyre traction whilst attempting to ascend the north downs . Eventually swallowed my pride, turned the car around and headed home. I would've had to travel through kent (tomterm is this your county?) too. In hindsight, I think it was the right choice to return.

Yeah, I live in Kent, but it is quite a large county. Where I am, the roads were complete chaos. Better stay away. I haven't really had a look at the roads today (beyond my road, which is never gritted anyway), but it was chaos yesterday without much snow, and it has snowed a lot more today... I wouldn't really want to go through it unless I had to.

-2 here now, according to various websites. No snow though. Cars outside are slightly frosted over.

Saturday night, right before Xmas, I should have a date... somebody lovely taking me somewhere nice to entertain me with their wit. What've I got??? You lot

My dating technique involves a club and a carry sack.

I was supposed to be going out tonight. Christmas do. Had my spangly party trousers and a nice top all ready, with of course the obligatory lbd as back up in case I changed my mind. It got snowed off. I can't get anywhere near where we were supposed to be going. Come to that, I can't get out of my road. I hope it's better tomorrow as I'm due to be going to the Royal Albert Hall. I need a fingers crossed emoticon.

Its amazing that the places with the best infrastructure have suffered so much. I mean....Brent Cross closing on a Sataurday :eek:

Yes I saw Brent Cross on the news. The Saturday before Christmas and it had two cars in the John Lewis car park! Scary... This is the wierdest run up to Christmas I've ever experienced.

Our town centre was busy, busy, busy....but then our snow didn't come until 4.30 this afternoon.

A question mostly for Sue and Pastures, but also for anyone else who may have read it.... Have you read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time? I have met several people who are Aspie or have Aspie children who say that it's quite an accurate portrayal, even though it is a novel.

This looks to be the full version in a PDF. All the chapters in prime numbers? It's on a Russian server... and the link and document isn't ringing any alarm bells for my (fully tooled-up) browser and computer. If someone wanted to have a flick through to decide whether it's a worthy real world book purchase......

Although, despite thinking I wouldn't be able to be comfortable reading from an LCD screen, I've become a bit of an e-book lover. A real space saver and my collection of e-books now matches my real world bookcase in number, and have also given some of my duplicate real paper books away because of acquiring the e-book version.
