Out of interest - where's "here?"

I think SS is an aussie-expat living en angleterre

If we can civilise one of the buggers, it'll be a start.

Whilst walking the other day I had some young scoundrels throw a couple at me, and they missed badly. There really was no excuse for such a miss from so close. So I turned and gave them the stare that says "don't try that again son" and walked on smiling to myself.

Do you often write letterbocks contributions to Viz magazine?

40 minute drive home took hour and a half today as the population of Nottingham slipped and slithered along the snow covered, ungritted roads.

Evil or Very Mad

Still, would have been a lot worse had it not turned to rain half way home.

Tomorrow morning could be fun with the said ungritted roads now filled with slush that will turn readily to rock hard ice in tonight's sub zero-athon.

Yeah but be honest mate .. much as they might miss the heat, they really can't ski in 41C with all that kit on now, can they!

They were at the beach in Oz

They googled up the live webcam feed for Bettmeralp and were licking their lips at the skiing conditions

In the summer, it's like that but it gets bloody cold and dark in the winter.

To be honest I'm not in a bad spot here really. It's pretty quiet and I'm on the edge of nothing.

Not as nice as the place where you posted a photo of the other day but it's not bad.
