"oh it's snowing" "the local authorities have let us down" GTF! I left work in ****tleston at 2:30pm yesterday afternoon and had to go into the toon to pick up ma mammy. Got home at 6:30pm Then went out with my shovel and started shovelling snow from the drive and the rest of the street with about 10 of the neighbours. Got up at 7am and drove out to Cumbernauld, the A80 was ****ing attrocious, but went through Moddiesburn, Condorrat to get to Cumbernauld, then left, and drove down the M73, along Edinburgh Road and got to work. Aye, granted, I wouldn't like to have been stuck on the Motorway, but where there is a will, theres a way. Coming out the Toon last night, there were still ****s trying to get onto the M8! Are these ****s ****in stupid!! Do they not listen to the radio, have access to a TV or Internet, or have family who could let them know! I went a tour of Royston, Barmulloch, Auchinairn and Provanmill to get home, and I did!! It wouldn't have been so bad, for all these stupid ****in woman drivers who just can't seem to negotiate the simplest of challenges on the roads! "oh I'm stuck - better abandon the car" I got stuck, ****ed the car into 1st gear, got out and pushed the ****ing thing, then had to run and jump into the car once freed! Thoughts?
Exactly mate, guys in my work don't get paid if they're not at work, hence, everyone is in, sure, there were a few late comers, but they made it. I was reading the Record online, and a comment from a Council worker, was decrying her employers for not shutting her work as she "could get killed" Fine then hen, don't go in, don't get paid. I do feel sorry for the poor ****s who were stuck on a motorway all night, I drove past them this morning and I did feel ****e for the ****s. My mates dad was stuck on the M73 for 20 hours!
The folk stuck on the motorway - The thing it annoys me is that these people wis the fact that the were complianing of being hungry n cold... You're venturing out in Winter for **** sake - you are always told to ensure you have warm clothes, bottled water and food in the car in case of emergencies! "I've not eaten since breakfast" Get some crisps, biscuits n chocolate in yer car! "We're cold as we have no heating on to save petrol" - get some blankets in the boot then! "I'm about to run out of petrol" - shouldn't you have a petrol cannister full in the boot? It's about time "snow chains" became a requirement for car safety equipment - if all car owners had these there woudl be no gridlock! British people are soft as ****e!
we got sent home yesterday afternoon as most stuff can be done on line, this mainly involved me logging on so that i could be seen on the instant messenger and then playing the xbox for the rest of the day. less than a quarter of folk are in today, hence why i'm on here, i'd be bunking off as well but as i only live about 2 miles away that might be considered as taking the piss. the schools thing is a bit of a joke, if it was that dangerous no one would be allowed to go to work, they only get away with it by wailing "wont you think of the children!" funnily enough if i had the power to decide whether or not to shut down my work for the day with no consequences i'd probably think it was pretty dangerous as well.
Here here Pud1977 Granted the scale of the snow took most by surprise, they shouldv'e remembered the old addage "failing to prepare is preparing to fail"
It should be a legal requirement for all cars to have an "emergency" kit as pointed out - as well as a spare tire!
what a pair of miserable auld ****s. i'm sanding the tread of my tires and driving home tonight in reverse, that should put some chest hair on my commute.
I have never been stuck in the snow, never even needed to push my car but the boss shut the office because he lives in the arse end of no where and no one cares about clearing the roads out there. For the past week each time i have left the house i have pushed or dug at least 1 car out of the snow. I drive a ****ey wee fiat and its hilarious to laugh at the ****s in 4x4s getting stuck because they don't know how to drive in the snow.
I drive a 5 series BMW, great car, but rear wheel drive is a nightmare in the snow, the arse goes away all the time, and same with the car. This coupled with stupid ****s making me stop on hills made me very angry indeed.
dont help push them out, tell them to get out of the car and let you do it that way you help add to the humiliation.
basically, yeah. did this to a bloke in the doctors car park last wk, i drove ****ing miles down the street just to put the ****s up him as well "wanted to get it on an easy bit"
I'm working from home because I live in the boondocks but the roads should be left clear of idiots at all times, anyone who gets stuck should have their car crushed with everyone still iin it.
Got a call from the boss while i was scraping ice from my car, The office is closed until further notice as the hedge along the drive in to the office has collapsed and the tree surgeon wont remove it until the snow has gone.
we got stuck on the M80 on monday so a just got out and walked home. it was ****in horrible. the comedy snowmen wer cheerin me up tho
is it a man eating bush dougie? cant you step over it? i'm the only one in my team in here again today. ****ing chump.
i walked in past it yesterday, the boss wasnt in so i phoned him to tell him the bush had collapsed. Im happy since im getting paid to do even less than usual and do it from home. man eating bush please log in to view this image
