interesting, is this due to all councils using the same supplier.. who announced yesterday he wouldn't meet his contractural agreements? (or am i just s stirring)

If this keeps up there's no way I'll be able to make it. I couldn't even get my car off my drive this morning as the slight hill I live on is like an icerink, had to walk to work. Hopefully it'll stop soon (it's chucking it down with snow at the moment) and it'll clear tomorrow as I'm looking forward to the game.

i think this should teach us to wait until spring before arranging a meetup next year...

You know, somehow, I doubt that very much...

We have 4-5" of santa's dandruff here and the temperature is at a bracing 0.

Shoud see Stargod later, see how he's doing.

I got onto the pools panel earlier and they said, in the event of the apoc game being post poned, it will be considered an away win.

After some thought, that must mean that KMB lost us the battle, so thanks for that pal.

90% of the salt supply for roads in UK is from a single supplier who supply from the UK, they can't dig it out of the ground fast enough at the moment! I can't say I mind that much, I'd rather have a few days of disruption against the cost of holding all that salt in huge warehouses being added to my council tax!

Just got back home - roads aren't too bad at the moment, the snow is currently easing off. If it freezes tonight it should be fun! Buses and taxis appear to be working fine so far...

I say there..mud in your eye.. I am your salvation. I tell teh wife I'm popping out I may be some time..
I put the tennis rackets on my feet. I make it there..Put out my army.. whats that? Other side refuse to be on the pitch..Auto win for the sides of chaos

just spoke to WHW (wanted to see if they had the new Inquisition War book in stock, turns out i will have to order it on the day to collect it), and they said even if the snow was so bad that no-one coud get there, they would still be open.

Hurrah!!!

Just make sure you eat plenty of porridge OATES 'afore ye go captain.

If the weather forecasts are right that I'm looking at now I'll be there - next batch of snow is due on Sunday, and as I'm only there Sat should be no problems

After ripping the magnetron out of my microwave my scratch built [strike]Esteban VII[/strike] Mars pattern Meltagun is almost ready.

If only...

Woke up to heavy snow this morning, but it stopped a couple of hours ago and it's clearing now, forecast looks good and so should be on the road by 8am tomorrow, if the traffic isn't too bad I should be there before opening time. I'll probably be up and check the traffic reports at 7am so if they look busy I'll leave a bit earlier, assuming that Slate is actually awake

Sorry guys, we are not going to make it.
Conditions are still pretty poor in town, but the motorway isn't too bad.

But the final straw was Stargod took little Stargod to nursery in the car and it died a death.
It's still sitting outside the nursery now.

Was really looking forward to it as well...

Sorry to let you down...

Oops, deleted the last message and the topic went missing, I'll have to fix that later.
