Forever alone...curse you, snow!

I was supposed to be meeting up with some friends this evening, but I had to cancel it because snow is forecast and I don't want to risk being stuck in Central London if public transport collapses. The infuriating thing is that this is going to be 10 centimetres max - a couple of inches - and I know damn well that in any other European country it would be no problem at all.

IJBM: That England can't cope with its own weather. Still, CSI is on TV later and I've bought some Coke for my whisky, so it shouldn't be too bad.

You can't travel because of a third of a foot of snow?

Jesus.

captainbrass · 2012-02-04 13:28:18

^ Which hasn't actually fallen yet.

Meh, public transport is severely limited with such low amounts over here too.

Whale · 2012-02-04 13:45:50

Thats what happens in London, trufax

There's 10 cm of snow in Belgrade, and 2-3 times as much in my suburb, which is on a hill just 20 kilometers away. Regardless, it's an official state of emergency, and we don't have to go to school.

I dont know man, I just watched a Rugby game being played in the snow

Wait what?

Whale · 2012-02-04 14:56:50

On the telly, there was the Salford-Castleford game which was being played on a frozen snowed over pitch so Capitan Brass, dont lump us Northerners with you and your soft southern friends :P

@Whale.
Using Monkey Dust videos!
Yes!

Also it has snowed here, which isn't too far from London so I guess the public transport there has stopped already.

I remember back when I was going to college in NC and I couldn't drive to class after a snowstorm that would be considered routine here in the catskills because they just didn't have the equipment to deal.

So I know the feel.

Whale - Hey, drop the "soft southerner" stuff! I'm originally from Leeds. I'm just another Northerner come South to make money.

Update on the weather - It's been snowing all evening. I'm glad I didn't go out now.

Update on the coke - Juan ripped me off again with some black bubbly liquid. Furthermore, it was Pepsi. Worst drug dealer ever!

Update on the CSI - not a great episode. The subculture this week was punk, and even I didn't find their punks convincing.

I never said you were a soft southerner.

captainbrass · 2012-02-04 16:36:10

^ On re-reading the post, you didn't actually - sorry. I can't deny most of the other people in London are soft southerners!

Whale · 2012-02-04 16:39:43

Although I did call you a Southerner, sorry man

IanExMachina · 2012-02-04 17:00:08

Midlands is bestlands.

ITT: The unresolved English civil war over which region is most manly.

Whale · 2012-02-05 04:08:24

Its obviously the North West of England

Howdy, Stranger!
