Sootyyyy! You really can make anything sound rude!
Also, to keep our snow in perspective.
(I clearly need to go to Canada.)

(I include my own daughters in this, of course).
Still snowing quite hard.
My girl was wearing about canvas Vans, about as much use as wet paper bags. And now I have to go out to two schools to pick them both up, on roads that are getting more hazardous by the second. Why weren't the schools closed first thing, instead of after one bleeding hour?
That is pretty mental.
Ours were both closed by 7am with pretty dire warnings the day before.
On my radio show tomorrow I am interviewing Brian 'Nasher' Nash, the guitarist in Frankie goes to Hollywood. He's making a special trip from North London so I'm hoping the weather isn't going to be too bad.
As a guide to what was happening down there I went to the Abbey Road webcam and was amused to see that even in this weather people are still going back and forth over the zebra crossing to follow in the Beatles footsteps.

A Japanese bloke's umbrella just blew away.
Very entertaining

nb loving snow means you have nothing meaningful to do with your life that could be affected by snow.
Like for example going into work. Too empty a filing cabinet andthat's it.
Well worth falling over in the snow and getting eaten by a polar bear on the way home. (said polar bear probably have trundled down from the antarctic to hunt penguins in London Zoo, after the destruction of its natural environment).

What if you own a snow plough (Mr. Plow) or a gritter, maybe even a snowman?
Well if you own a snow plough I'm sure you're very busy this time of year.
And how can you own an oriental fellows bottom?

My daughter left her coat in the car which my wife (who had already left to do voluntary work at the local prison) will be driving to Kent this afternoon (gulp). 
She has another jacket which is admittedly a little on the small side with a dodgy seam but it's perfectly adequate to be used in an emergency. She point blank refused to wear it and was set to walk the 3/4 of a mile to school in just her cardigan. Fortunately I managed to persuade her to at least take it with her 'just in case'.
It's not snowing in the city right now but I know I wouldn't want to walk home this afternoon without a coat, let alone when the forecast snow turns up.

Took me a min! 
I don't get it.

Simply add hilarious Oriental mispronunciation.
