    bloody foreign weather, coming over here, coating our pavements
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Very true, THEY ARE the worstist :D

    Worstest :p

    Me and the neighbours all clear our shared driveway of snow, not that we have had to this winter.

    I love the snow :)
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...

    And indeed those who complain about minor grammatical points such as the difference between "there" and "they are"

    And the people who can't manage the very simple task of learning the difference between "there", "they're", and "their". :(

    I've got about 1.25mm of snow here in South London and it swept off the car with a gloved hand to reveal no ice whatsoever... I've been deprived of a whinge!
    I need to think of something new here...

    It's all God's fault really - but I'm not whingeing about him, because he's got lightning and stuff that REALLY hurts at his disposal. Mmmm.... LOVELY snow... Makes the rotten window-frame in my bathroom even MORE fun!! ;)

    The stupid people are out again opening their mouths complaining about the roads, snow, and lack of gritters tracking their every move. :D

    Important Message to German RWD car drivers:
    Please stay at home. You're flash enough to lease a nice car but too tight to buy a set of winter tyres. You get stuck blocking a lane and get out of your car in your leather office shoes/six inch heels without a jacket and try and look pitifully for people to help you when you know full well it's your own stupidity, lack of driving skills, and foresight to put a set of boots and warm jacket in the car. Then you bleat on about the lack of gritters... when you were the thick amoeba who insisted on 20 inch alloys...

    [And breathe].

    And grit is not some magic thing, it cannot and will not cope with a foot of snow!

    Because, of course, British and Japanese RWD cars are so much better in the snow. rolleyes.gif

    (No, I don't drive a German RWD vehicle.)
