Have you seen a wonderful,delicate work without a worker ?! It's you and the whole universe!.. Who has made them all ?!! You know who ?.. It's "ALLAH",prise be to him.... more »

Southern Shandy Drinking Puffs
|
| |
Well, its official. Snow has hit the South East. You can tell it has even if you've not watched the weather forecast by the fact the BBC has seen fit to interrupt telly with a "BBC News Special" about it of 45 minutes this morning and 30 minutes tonight. This was no doubt to let the rest of the country know that its snowing a bit, even though they've... more »

News Reports Exaggerating Weather Conditions
|
| |
Why do they do it? It's nothing like as bad out there as they say it is. They seem to go out of their way to find some dark valley somewhere where the snow is 6 feet deep or some muppet who's been stuck in the snow since yesterday. It would be nice if they put the truth before a good story. Not much... more »

Far too much snow in Warrington
|
| |
And far too little grit. One gritter at 9pm last night. Main A roads are sheet ice. 1 hour to do 3 miles. Coming home, got stuck in car park and pushed out, then got stuck at top of hill after lights changed. Sledgers gave me a nudge and got me moving. Got back into Warrington and still no effort to grit. Like driving down... more »
