will it happen again?????
So snow, artic air, black ice and genrally freeing cold conditions are heading our way. Remenber last year when it last snowed?? I for one do, it took me 10 hours to drive from Hammersmith, West London to north herts. It took 7 hours just to get out of the M25 perimeter. I unfortunately have to drive into London this week as it is my job to.
Anyone else here share my feeling of dread of the incompetent London councils and the great Highways Agency having the power to totally f&%k up my week????

I'm thinking of putting a flask of coffee and a good book in the car!

I am hoping we get snowed in, just for a day off work. Even in a first floor flat in W14.
It could happen....
(Just as long as I don't get stuck on the appaling District line for hours....)
Bring in your car: flask of hot tea, biscuits and a good book. And some fluffy gloves. And a shovel. Maybe do some chores you've been avoiding: plug the iron into the fag lighter socket and do your shirts for the week? Fill in your DIMIA forms? Write a novel?
good luck.....

Daz...are you a troll?
An electronic mail message, Usenet posting or other
(electronic) communication which is intentionally incorrect,
but not overtly controversial (compare flame bait), or the
act of sending such a message. Trolling aims to elicit an
emotional reaction from those with a hair-trigger on the reply
key. A really subtle troll makes some people lose their
minds.
Troll
v.,n. 1. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To
utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable
responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase
"trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream
"trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a
likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post
that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look
even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to
the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate
troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See
also YHBT. 2. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1;
regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a
newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to
annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by
the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic
at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly
creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming
characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of
life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll." 3.
[Berkeley] Computer lab monitor. A popular campus job for CS
students. Duties include helping newbies and ensuring that lab
policies are followed. Probably so-called because it involves
lurking in dark cavelike corners.
Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower
category than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing
some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial. See
also Troll-O-Meter.

I just find it amusing that you constantly complain about Oz, and now have returned to UK to do a driving job in one of the worst cities in the world for traffic congestion and complain about that too!!!
I owned a taxi company in London before i left, and anyone who returns to London to do driving as a job is bonkers..how can you complain about it when everyone on the planet knows its a nightmare!!!

I guess I moan about Oz, because in my eyes its a pretty dull boring isolated place. I was simply being factual about one of the UKs shortcomings. But even with the bad transport, cold weather etc it beats Aus for me. Does that make me a troll then??

I lost my mind for a while! :scared:
Dazuk is obviously a whinger, and is trying to get reactions and start and argument.
Geez, the post isn't even about living or culture in Australia!
It didn't work the first time, so he tries it with the sentence:
"Dont you just love the way you have to think the worst when dealing with transport in this country??"
Argghhh!
Yes, I'm such a great target for trolls!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Sax solo
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
