For those of you who may not watch the news etc....:grin2

Severe weather warning 07.02.07

The Met Office has issued an early warning for heavy snow. The snowfall is expected during the early hours of Thursday 8 February.

There is considered to be a 90% risk of disruption in the London area during the rush hour period on Thursday morning. Accumulations between 2 to 5 cm of snow are expected. Clearly the likely timing of the snowfall could lead to significant transport disruption.

not sure i'll make it into work tomorrow, phil's got the van and the trains out my way are worse than useless as soon as the temperature drops below about 5 degrees :rolleyes:

Watching the report earlier, they dont expect this to start thawing out until early Saturday too, given that its going to frost over once its fallen i would be extremely careful if you are using the bike, and even more careful if you are walking as you look funny as hell sat flat on your arse with everyone laughing :D :D

[harriebird]

nice.....but maybe i'd best get some practice in at falling over and getting laughed at now in preparation for my racing season!

[Lateshift]

Nah people dont laugh when you fall off a bike, they go "ooooooh aaaaaah cor that looks like its going to chafe a bit"

Normally followed by either "poor" or "silly sod" :D


But your a bird, so chances are if you fall over in the paddock every man and his dog, sisters ferrets and uncle Tom Cobley will be giving it "awwww are you alright pet" whilst simultaneously trying to all grab a leg, arm and anything else that dangles to help you back up :D

Its the nature of men unfortunately, laugh at a bloke falling over, and feel all sensitive when a bird makes a muppet of herself :D

[harriebird]

i might get a sticker for my leathers then, that says "you can help me up if you're fit"

:grin2

[Lateshift]

LOL :D

That might give most blokes a bit of a decision to make then though, its a case of am i or arent i?

much better to get straight to the point, "mingers need not apply" ? :D

[harriebird]

yes but then they might not like what they see when my lid comes off and ask for a refund?!!!

and in my experience even the oldest hairiest flabbiest males seem to think they are actually George Clooney, so obviously all the dolly birds at the bike show are just desperate to give them one.... :p

Looks like i'll be sitting on a bus for an hour to work then!!:shooter

although if it settles nicely i got a wicked hill just down the road over the fields....might drag me board over there, see if i can have a little play!!:rockon

[becky]

[rembrandt]

hopefully it will all come to nothing traveling up to catterick tomorrow for my boys passing out

[Lateshift]

mate whatever the weather is doing it will be well worth the trip up there to see it all, and bloody well done for putting up with the bull***t and getting himself through it, i bet you are chuffed to bits mate :) :)

[rembrandt]

we are both really proud of him , hell and high water or snow wont stop us from getting there

[Lateshift]

Ah good old Vimy Barracks, spent quite a few of my days there :D

but i did my training at Helles Barracks across the road (Parachute Regiment Depot) :)

When you go up there you will have to find out if "Scabs" is still open :D

(a real proper working mans cattle market with proper sticky carpets :D )
