He's back...

We don't play OAP homes. You do know that, right, Stan?

It's a pub gig, tonight. It'll be fairly busy in there, I reckon, as people will want to get out after having been snowed in for a couple of days.

 

Enjoy pal.

What hat you picked out for tonight?

 

Look! I don't wear that wizard's hat (which, incidentally, has hair attached to it). That was done as a joke around Halloween time, one year.

I'll be wearing my usual black leather hat. It's kinda my trademark.

I'm known on the local circuit as The Hat.

I doubt you boys will be able to find anything at all amusing about that.

 

I'm sure it rhymes with hat mate.

I had the black leather one in mind. It's a little bit Julian Clary.

 

Mate anything to do with GEW or SW trains you're going to be suididal.

 

Enjoy the crusties. OK

 

I was thinking more about the

" Ode to a lump of green putty , I found under my arm pit one mid-summers morning " .

 

Now that I want to hear.

 

It's from the HHGTTG , if I can find it , will put it on here , but I am not sure it was ever actually written

 

It's a different experience when you see it live, Tel.

Trust me on this.

 

I'll take your word for it brother.

 

Fair play to you . Ever played at the Brook ?

 

Im sure it is, does he's need lube?

 

No. People have mentioned it to us.

 

I think it depended on what area you were from. London was clear, other than a dusting, the further South you went the worse it got. Not helped in some areas by rain then freezing, which in turn caused South Eastern to cancel trains except those going into Ebbsfleet on the high speed (over head cables). Those coming South out of London are pretty much knackered if the transport structure fails and leaves people stranded before their destination.

Then you get stupid people that state colder countries cope with far worse conditions but that's because there financial budget has to account for it, the UK are not going to spend any where near the same level of money when the problem will be gone within a week.

I saw a TV interview where a Swedish family were trying to get home, they were asked how this compared to what they get, the response was this is probably worse than they get!

 

It's a really nice pub to listen to music in , saw the BOC there , really close

 

Yep this. Places like Canada and Scandinavia know that they are going to get a big dump of snow every year, so they can justify spending on the equipment to deal with it.

There’s no way any council in the U.K. is going to spend £200k on a snow plough for it to sit in a garage for years on end.

 

Well they should, it's not like they don't rob enough ****ing money off us to afford what they need, ****s

 

Exactly my point. Ive heard people quote comparisons with how New York deal with it

It's not cost effective to deal with it on the same level. Yes, things could be done better, but another argument for the UK is our temps are variable, ie will change from snow to freezing rain, to thawing and freezing again, hazards other countries don't get, as the saying goes, the wrong type of snow.
