What do you want, a bl**dy medal :roll: A broom would have easily cleared a path to the road :? is it so far you can't walk/use public transport :?

My commute was a right b*gg*r ...... I hopped downstairs at about 9.30 and after my weetabix turned on my laptop 8)
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Handle stressful situations like a dog - If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

Alright James Stewart, bored of looking at your neighbour? :lol:

Luckily the roads were a bit cleared but when I got to the hospital the place was covered. Had a good snow ball fight though and plan on making a snow man tomorrow!

Definately going to catch the bus next time...

Dont get it Funky.....while i'm looking at the pic of your bike sitting there ready to set of to work in the snow, all i can see to the right is you keep coming off your bike on a nice dry track???....ever thought you might be better racing on snow?? :)
