Off work today due to weather Page 2

It's not just snow, it's any weather. It doesn't matter what that weather is or how sever it is, if it's not just a bit grey and dismal but basically with no weather, the whole thing breaks down. I get it all the time trying to get trains into work.

Too much snow and they don't go anywhere, too cold and the tracks ice up, too much rain and bits of it flood, too windy and trees fall on them, too hot and the tracks buckle.

I'm waiting for them to just start using the generic announcement, "the train is delayed due there being some weather today."

I agree how crap trains are in this country. But I think it's kind of sweet that here we are, a wealthy highly-developed nation, with a public transport system from the stone age. It's what Britain's all about.

Bucketing rain here!

I forgot "too autumny and leaves get everywhere".

Just heard something hilarious. Just had a walk up to the shop to get a newspaper and walked past the local primary school. There was this kid about eight who was throwing snow balls at his Mum. She got fed up and shouted 'Will you stop it now' Then behind me there was some young girl, about six with her Mum. Her Mum asked her 'Do you know him' (the kid who was throwing snowballs) and she said 'Yes. He's called Josh. He's always talking about vaginas'

No snow here, just cold rain. I was waiting at a bus stop after Joe got us lost when the worst of it was falling. On the plus side, that meant no debating conference.

Me like rain. Me getted wet. Yum yum yum.

I've heard of people liking rain, but not quite *that* much...

Clear, dry and the coldest day yet at 3C, but it'll rapidly warm to 23C by the afternoon. But I actually ran the heat last night.

I'm generally a big rain fan, but today my umbrella collapsed upon opening, which was a pain in the arse.

I had to wear my scarf on my head like a f**king girl.

Oh Gawd. A girl I go to uni with was running around with her coat pulled over her head today, because she'd spent ages straightening her hair this morning. It was hi-lar-ious.

Ah, it's great how women can be so unintentionally funny. Bless!

I put my hood up today and then felt the front of my hair and thought "Oh damn, it's going curly...". Then I remembered that it's all *very* curly anyway. I slipped back into when I had straight hair for a minute then though!

Aw, bless!

After taking 2 hours to head from the outskirts of Bolton into Wigan (and travelling all of....oooh...around 2 miles) I 'did a Jack', turned round and went home. It was f**king mental. Buses and wagons stranded. Dickheads driving like Jeremy Clarkson in a desperate bid to gain a few yards on someone. Complete gridlock in places. If I had a swearbox in the car I'd have collected the same amount of money as I set out with this morning (funnily enough ), though it might have calmed me down a little...
