Be thankful you aren't living in Cheektowaga or North Tonawanda or the dreaded 'south towns' of Buffalo

Canada does that to you.

Credit where it's due.

We did get 5 months of spring, summer and autumn.

I hope we don't have to wait for a mid-may thaw again.

"Cardiologist Barry Franklin, an expert in the hazardous effects of snow removal" tells us:

• snow shoveling raises blood pressure and heart rate more than some other forms of exercise
• cold air constricts blood vessels
• cardiac risks are higher in early morning
• so dangerous that he advises anyone over the age of 55 not to do it

BBC News - Why do so many people die shovelling snow?

Well that's the warning. Where's the content? There's nothing on the page to listen to.

Weird. I found another link of a page that looks identical...except it does have a 'play' on it.

Thanks for the excuse.

Brilliant. But the beautiful scenery and quaint architecture must make up for it?

Yup I feel his pain.
Got on the bus this morning to go to the doctors -usually not much of a trial, even in -24C.
Frikkin bus stalled, and the 'lovely' bus driver told us all to get off and just get another bus round the corner which was taking almost the same route. We all walk to the next bus stop - no buses due for 25 minutes!! I was tempted to go back and slap him as he sat there all warm reading his newspaper.
I was pretty well wrapped up, but still, 25 minutes in -24C really sucks.

Fantastic!

Actually I'm thinking about it.

It's the Silicon Valley north now apparently. Warmer winters and better snowboarding.

Doing research and everything.

And loads of crumpet.

Sweetie do you need sex? You seem to have become a bit of a one trick poney?

Oink

I'm just looking out of the lad as I heard that JamesM is a bit of a ladies man.

Hmmm, the scenery is here but the quaint architecture is limited. Winnipeg got built up more while Regina was still under canvas. No comment on crumpet.

What a coincidence, I am eating some crumpet right, as I read this thread on my iPad. For the avoidance of doubt, Warburtons with butter and marmalade.
