Greedy_Jambo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Snow is always good if your young or don't work or don't have any commitments. For me its bloody terrible. Mind that year it hit us hard? I couldn't get the car out of the street for more than a week. Kids couldn't get to nursery (it was shut a lot of the time anyway) and i had to take a weeks holiday because my ******* boss doesn't pay me for being off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Wiseau Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Nothing better than looking out your window at the blizzarding snow while you await the email that tells you school is closed again the following day. Babysitters and primary school kids love it. Meanwhile proper people with important stuff to do dread it. I've got a class of Higher kids relying on me for real qualifications. The snow can GF itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sergio Garcia Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Think of all the slide tackles you can do in the snow folks, that should change your mind on the upcoming snow. Then you get the benefit of coming in and having some nice and warm hot chocolate thanks to the snow. For those two reasons alone you should all love the snow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victorian Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 That time we got pumped bandy by the snow, I had to walk 4 miles to work and 4 miles back, every day for a week.

Jambo83 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Have had the luxury of working 10 mins away since leaving school 11 years ago. Work is moving into the town centre in a month or two and not looking forward to getting trains in a bad winter and then the walk up Morrison St from Haymarket. Have been spoiled so far I guess. Normally chill out listening to Boogie for 4-5 miles in my cozy car : ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
