I thought it was a bit nippy this morning clearing snow off the drive.
I sat in my car and it showed minus ten c.

Just left a pub tonight in Deal after having seen a band with most of the remaining members of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and although the car said minus five, my phone said the real feel was minus seventeen.
It certainly felt like it..

Came home from work today, only snowing a little bit at the moment but it's too cold, didn't have much on at work so wanted to work on the race bikes, trouble is it's all bits to make and takes time, I couldn't feel my hands and couldn't wear gloves as too clumsy for the jobs. There's No heating in my workshop and even with the shutter down to stop the wind it's still too cold. Home now frustrated and bored :(

Just made it back to the uk. Only problem is I’m stuck in Slough. Bristol flights were all cancelled so I came into Heathrow. Now I’m stuck here until tomorrow as it’s too dangerous to try getting home.
Oh well, guess I’ll have to make do with. Warm beer and charge it to the company for my inconvenience

Crushed clay ! Well that is what they loaded me with but it soon turned into one large block .

Folowing a brush with an angry Badger, causing an off into a field on his bike, Lloydie was pleased to see the miscreant black & white worm botherer had been squished by an LGV.

Lloydie took inspration from this event.

He changed his soiled undies, gave up bikes, took up paint ball, took & passed his LVG licence & now drives around in a pink tipper truck wearing his pink uniform, scaring other road users & looking for badgers to squish. Oh & he got married as well somewhere along the line.


A badger interviewed yesterday refuesd to comment.
