Yea ha! I shall be building an Igloo tomorrow then with the kids. Watch out everyone - It's going to snow it's arse off at least until Monday 9.00 Am. <Checks window> Yep Snow on the ground... it's a start anyway :-) Lee D > Watch out everyone - It's going to snow it's arse off at least until > Monday 9.00 Am. > > <Checks window> > > Yep Snow on the ground... it's a start anyway :-) Based on past experience you lot are in for a properly shite winter cos we're having a particular good summer here. >> Watch out everyone - It's going to snow it's arse off at least until >> Monday 9.00 Am.

Checked again and it's mostly melted :-( , looks like you are in for showers. County Durham has ground to a halt mind with hundreds of motorists having to be rescued. Bunch of lightwieghts... it would never happen in the city here LOL Lee D >>> Watch out everyone - It's going to snow it's arse off at least until >>> Monday 9.00 Am. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > County Durham has ground to a halt mind with hundreds of motorists > having to be rescued. That's a bit of an exaggeration. A stretch of the A66 and some of the higher areas but the majority is just plain wet. > Bunch of lightwieghts... it would never happen in the city here LOL > > Lee D - > That's a bit of an exaggeration.

I never thought for a minute that the media were over exagerating the story, I feel so cheap now ;-) They definately said over a hundred were affected to the extent they had been taken to the safety of... a pub. Now that is my kind of rescue! Who is driving home? Lee D > Checked again and it's mostly melted :-( , looks like you are in for > showers. Correct - it's just bucketed down for a couple of hours. >> Watch out everyone - It's going to snow it's arse off at least until >> Monday 9.00 Am. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Based on past experience you lot are in for a properly shite winter cos > we're having a particular good summer here. properly shite as in its going to piss it down non stop and blow a gale every night? (thats my prediction based on recent weather!) > Woooo Hoooo!!!!! Yea ha! I shall be building an Igloo tomorrow then with > the kids. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Yep Snow on the ground... it's a start anyway :-) it better not snow that much! - i want atleast half a day of dryness so i can do my last minute tweaking - managed to get some new wiper motors and want to fit a gasket to the bottom of the gearbox so I can put some oil in it (and keep it in it!) > Just wondering if I need to pack the snow shovel for Friday ;-) > > Noted there are utterings of MOT looming closer. > > Lee D wish me luck (unless you are really hoping for snow!) - MOT at 10am tommorrow! >> Just wondering if I need to pack the snow shovel for Friday ;-) >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > wish me luck (unless you are really hoping for snow!) - MOT at 10am > tommorrow! Raining here so the signs are good :-) I'm sure it'll be fine. Any one want to buy any snow tyres? ;-) Lee D > Raining here so the signs are good :-) I'm sure it'll be fine. > > Any one want to buy any snow tyres? ;-) Could have done with them on Friday, well for the 2 miles to town at least but my ordinary road tyres coped without fuss. There where only tiny 6" deep drifts the rest was mostly a couple of inches of ice/compacted snow. Most gone now, apart from the remnants of drifts > 2' deep, after the rain last night. Some heavy sleet on the cold front in the last couple of hours.

It passed! :) Think he was in a good mood as he remembered his advisory from last time (rear reflectors) - and i had actually listened and fitted them. Now for some tax and insurance and a little bit of fettling and i can drive it again. It is quite annoying that there is now stuff on the landy that i put on new which is wearing out!. A headlight has lost half of its silvering (its only about 4 years old), and an engine mount is on its way out (i put it on 6/7 years ago) >>>> Just wondering if I need to pack the snow shovel for Friday ;-) >>>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > only about 4 years old), and an engine mount is on its way out (i put it > on 6/7 years ago) Well done... off to ebay to sell my skis! Treat it to a set of them Halo headlamps :-) by the time they need replacement they will be out of fashion too. To the untrained observer it'll look like a X5 un the dark :-) Lee D > >>"Tom Woods" <tom@NOPSAMtomwoods.co.uk> wrote in message > news:60mcvbF1rqe74U3@mid.individual.net...
