Edit: Seeing as everyone else is probably stuck in snow, or sliding on ice.. I'll start one.
Morning cruddites, how are we all today? Loving the ice? I sure as hell am!
The ride in was sketchy, I had 2 little offs, and still have a wet left foot where the snow has melted. Must invest in waterproof shoes..
It's Friday though, a good day, as it's my work xmas do tonight, so shall no doubt get plastered on Ale...
Popping out to pick up various forms of pig for the team in a bit, I'm feeling generous!
Oh, and spent a bit of time in the garden last night, making this:
What are you 'orrible lot doing today then?

i have a hangove which would kill most men but i reckon i will be ok.
its another snow day where i work so to that end i will be on the sofa for most of the day, my christmas do which should have been at gillingham football clubtonight has been cancelled and i couldnt be happier, the though of having to go out tonight does not appeal at all!
id give my 3rd bollock for a fry up but i cant be aarsed with making the funkcer0 -
I've finally decided to actually work on the paper thats due today, so I can attempt to get it finished.0

Day off woohoo, fettling to be done0

Good Morning Mortals!
TGIF indeed.
Today, I have applied for a new role. I have absolutely no work experience for it, but lots of personal experience that's rather relevant. We shall see...
Weather is effin cold, but still no snow.
Bright blue skies and not a hint of wind.
Also, I'm a little disappointed in myself. I left this morning's 2nd breakfast pie (Chicken & Mushroom), in the fridge. Stupid mistake. As punishment, I'm going to have to purchase something warm and bacon themed. Might also have to dispatch a minion to Greggs for steak and pastry related purchases.0 -
today is the start of a 4 day weekend for me, and its my birthday on monday, which means more stuff for my new build, and probably quite abit to drink as well
the snow is quite frankly appaliing in the midlands, hardly any, not worth the fuss, but the fact its about -10 atm means theres no way im riding roday 0 -
Good Morning,
Just waiting to go in hospital, starving but I'm nil by mouth and couldn't be bothered getting up at 6am to eat. Roll on tea time when I can eat again.0 -
Morning Fuksticks

been into work now back home and waiting for the wife to get back with No1 before i go back to work again up that there london town.
I have worked out that its work that makes me ill all the time, been home for the last 3 days and i feel better already?

Anywhoooo0 -
Still no snow here
Lots of Ice though
Post is still not working
Steak for tea 0 -
Afternoon everyone!
Drove in to work today, after scraping the car out of perma-ice. That stuff was stubborn! Anyway, turns out my ABS might not be working properly. I'm hoping it's just the cold that's made my car think it's not working, I hope so :?
I bought a spade yesterday from a hardware shop that resembled the shop off the "Four Candles" sketch. I love it! I will be traversing the Pennines tonight as usual, where according to the weather forecast, snow is due this weekend..... :roll:It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Join us on UK-MTB we won't bite, but bring cake!

Oi Mule!
What's the snow like in / around Leeds?
Sent some stuff through the post for my mums birthday and want to know the chances of it getting there this year. I'm thinking 'not good'.0 -
Sposedly gonna warm by 3AM tonight here so should be good.
And 6 degree's and sunshine for sundays Cwm Carn ride which will be sweet!0 -
Fettling done, I'd been having phantom shifts, thought it were cable stretch or crud on the chain, so i went about cleaning it, and it kept jamming into the gap between mech and frame,
for some reason about a third of the chain was bent to an angle, new chain problem solved, but this is the 4th xt chain ive gotthrough on either bike now for differing reasons, so I've got a KMC on its way as my next spare0 -

We've just had two severe weather warnings issued... :shock:0 -
Well I feel productive now, got paper done and dusted, sent in and confirmation it was received by the professor. Which now means the huge part of this semester is done, I just have finals in a few weeks to worry about.
Man it feels good to have that over with.0 -
fecking warm city!! ir's as though it never snowed here, no traces whatsoever. How the feck am I supposed to throw snowballs at people
Was out for work xmas work meal last night, one work colleague was pi55ed before he even got there, can't take the fecker anywhere!! we even strategically sat him next to our boss, but this failed
As for today, bit knackered, but work is slow so all good0 -

You have regained my respect, i see you once more as being every bit as much of a man and a legend as Michael Le Vell0 -

"Outbreaks of sleet and snow are expected to spread from the west during Friday evening and overnight falling onto sub zero surfaces. Snow depths between 5 to 10cm over the hills are likely. Widespread icy stretches and snow accumulations on untreated surfaces will lead to dangerous driving conditions."0 -
Cool,
Bet it does't happen, driving home last night there was a weather warning on radio 2, Claiming heavy rain last night at midnight that would possibly freeze.. It was clear sky's hehe.0 -
Thing is, the Beeb is also showing snow/sleet for the Valleys area overnight now. They were just showing rain earlier. TBH, I don't think the weather forecasters really know what's going to land where at the moment.0
-
hasn't all summer, every time i went camping they said it was gonna hammer down, always turned out all right lol0
-
Yeah, I'll believe it when it starts falling out of the sky.
Hmm, its just gone very dark all of a sudden... :shock:0 -
Hmm, lets hope its not too bad for Sunday. I suggest we make a decision on whether its going to be likely to be open/rideable on Saturday evening?0
-
It will be open and is always rideable people just need to MTFU
0 -
I'm ok with it, just dont want to drive down from Wolvo if it is under feet of snow by Sunday
a bit of snow and or ice is fine though, and the cold is certainly not a problem0 -
Wont be be bad by then i think the warmer weather will have blown across by then and thawed alot of it.0

This is a good idea.Thewaylander wrote:It will be open and is always rideable people just need to MTFU
TBH, it's not just the trail, its the whole route from the Midlands for the guys travelling down. Tewksbury and Monmouth have had it pretty bad this week.
I tried calling the Cwm Carn visitors centre today, around 11:00, to see what the conditions were like there, but there was no answer... 0 -

Theyre Snowed out lol. we shall see tommorrow night, hopefully the more favourable weather reports will ring true. This end is fine and I'm really hoping that Cwmcarn is doable on Sunday, but we will look at what seems sensible, and if we have to rearrange then so be it, but rearrange we shall do if needs must0
