Somebody has put ice on the road. Bastards! This was one of the few areas that was supposed to get rain only.

3 inches of snow here at the North end of Muswell Hill
A 102 bus outside my front door, which had been diverted to my road, was sliding about & unable to cope with the slight slope here so would be hopeless at the steeper bits further up the hill, so the driver sent the passengers off & has been sitting in his/her bus outside for at least an hour now and snow is still falling.

I just offered him some cakes & tea but he declined.
Our newspaper girl just delivered our paper through the letterbox. She is so not being paid well enough to do that in this weather.
I was so determined to go out last night, car no, taxi no, so OK jonny walk. So set foot onwards and upwards with a furrowed brow, 20 mins later looking like 'Nanook of the North' I entered pub to much applause from the 4 intrepid punters who had travelled the same tough journey, one can't beat the commaradarie that ensues !
Hey up, we aint soft up north tha knows! 
I signed up to this site 5 years ago this month. And what a rollercoaster of a ride it has been. We've had Jake How, the great 50 points scandal. My ever changing mod status. The birth and rise of the Showcase forum. Chip. Late night liaisons with Tim Walker. ajp29. Sold my first piece of writing. Members getting together. Members falling out. Many, many sandwiches. And still no Make It section!
Drinking a very classy Merlot at present.
I've even poured it into a glass first.
3 hungry boys is about to kill and eat squirrels.
Hurrah!
They can't be that hungry.
They only caught a pigeon
pathetic
squirrels are vermin.
You sound more and more like Hitler every day!
Hitler liked squirrels, he had a special balcony at the Eagle's Lair where he could serenade them with a ukele.
His liking of squirrels is reckoned along with his syphilis to be what made him so evil.
Well, you learn something new every day...

Is it a wine glass or are you being French and drinking from a chic beaker type thing?
