hope the game this weekend is not postponed


There's every chance the weekends games will be postponed with most of the UK expecting another dump of snow.

Hope you have plenty of firewood JTC!

I've written to my MP and complained. He is very supportive and understanding.......and as soon as he gets back from Barbados he promises he will take it up.

Hahahaha, that's great. Although judging by the weather in Miami over the last couple of days (high of 12, low of 1!!!!!) maybe Barbados isn't the paradise it might seem!

There are loads of Yids on the Spurs forum I visit complaining about the lack of grit available for the roads. But there are also loads of posts explaining that grit bins are always vandalised and used on private driveways etc.

Southern pussies. It's only hit them today. We've had it here since 17th December. I'm still legging 10kms a day to get to the car and tonight it's minus 11 so walking in the dark is bloody hard work. No wonder I had to call into the pub befoe we set off walking. Guiness extra cold wasn't possibly the best choice though :lol:

Haha, you're right. Although, I'll raise you one - walking home 2kms after work in Canada at -37.
Guiness Extra Cold warms the cockles, so I'd say that was a perfect choice.

I recall walking to work at -25 one day. I picked up a hot egg and bacon roll. It was piping before I walked outside, but I don't think I had one bite of it warm.

I still wish I could do a house swap though mate. 39 above is stupid.

btw -37 is so cold it's hard to imagine it. Even at only -9 ealier, I used the windscreen washers and as soon as it hit the glass it froze. Funny as hell :lol:

At -37, your breath freezes in your mouth and nose. It feels like you have sand up your nose, but it's actually ice particles attaching to your nose hairs.

It's difficult to blink as the moisture in your eyes feels like it's freezing.

If you don't have a base layer on, your skin goes bright red and stings like sunburn.

I had long hair in Canada and if I left home with it wet in anything under -20, it would be frozen solid by the time I got to work.

Then there's the constant battle to keep toes and fingers warm.

But I wouldn't hesitat in going back tomorrow.

carlton cole will be a great pick up for us if we get him. need someone decent up front whislt RVP is out. Eduardo just does not look right after 'that' injury, looks a little scared to tackle or get the strike in in a close contact.
