It's four inches of wet snow on top of compacted glassy ice.
At least it is here. Mind you, didn't stop me from going out to the cinema...

Quantum of Solace was awesome. Anyone who says otherwise is a Roger Moore fan.

I read your name as Quantum of Boris then.

( Mu 's lovely horse stomping through the field, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:06, archived)

I would change it.
But then some c*** would nick it to be facetious. Actually, probably not, but I overvalue myself.
( Colonel Boris beer is small here, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:17, archived)

Just make a place-holder account and call it Colonel Boris.

( Valin Eschewing parts by the unit part . . ., Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:20, archived)

It's -3° outside.
I'm happy sat indoors with my toasty laptop keeping me warm.

Roasting marshmellows in front of your screen ?

( Valin Eschewing parts by the unit part . . ., Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:45, archived)

more like roasting my nuts
where the battery is touching me.
( Mystery_Bob, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:46, archived)

It was -11° C the other night.
Somewhat cool walking three miles to work in that...
( Colonel Boris beer is small here, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:45, archived)

well, yes it would be

It's only minus 2 here!!!
I knew there had to be an upside to living in Dundee.
( The Hedgehog From Hell 's days are numbered, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:46, archived)

I don't think I would swap living in Dundee
for an extra degree of heat.

i live close to dundee but havnt been in a few years
i'm wondering how bad the wellgate centre is post credit crunch
( connor, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:58, archived)

I always find that place depressing
so if half the shops are now boarded up, that would probably - perversely - cheer me up.

edit: actually, do you know of any good walks nearby? I want to start the new year by wearing my feet out tomorrow, and I've exhausted the countryside near me.
( The Hedgehog From Hell 's days are numbered, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:03, archived)

But I am short sighted, so it is all fucked to me

( Earl Otterby Goodbye and no thanks for the fish, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:48, archived)

Then fucking buy spectacles/contact lenses/laser surgery

( The Hedgehog From Hell 's days are numbered, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:50, archived)

i've got glasses

( Earl Otterby Goodbye and no thanks for the fish, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:02, archived)

Wear them, and then it won't all be fucked.
Unless your glasses are fucked, in which case you're fucked.
( The Hedgehog From Hell 's days are numbered, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:05, archived)

probably not the best thing to say given you are b3ta's bird authority
did you really see any of those birds or have you been plagiarising bill oddie or can you only function through high powered binoculars?
i know in the morning before i put my spec's on the buggers all look like little brown jobs to me too.

edit/ forget all of that, you're not the bird bloke that's the colonel, it's been a long year.
( god save the queen hardly ever original, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:52, archived)

That's because all birds in London are covered in pollution.
They're all stunted, filthy little bastards.
( The Hedgehog From Hell 's days are numbered, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:55, archived)

i'm outside london, nearly in the countryside
you lot wouldn't recognise a bird unless it was deep fried in batter and came in a box
( god save the queen hardly ever original, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 21:57, archived)

Pffft!
/was actually quite a bird enthusiast when younger, never had the patience to become a full-time twitcher but can still identify most of the specimens I come across in this country
( The Hedgehog From Hell 's days are numbered, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:04, archived)

easy, because there are only 2 left
kentucky and southern fried you've killed all the others :)

I'm not the Colonel for nothing...

( Colonel Boris beer is small here, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:23, archived)

( Earl Otterby Goodbye and no thanks for the fish, Wed 31 Dec 2008, 22:14, archived)

Awww, thanks!
My eyesight hasn't suffered after years of.... looking through telescopes.

Oh, and self-abuse.

New bird list tomorrow. Time to see if the birds are using the fat feeders over the woods yet. Fussy buggers here. There's half-a-foot of snow and they don't go near them...

I'm in California.
Inside there are no cars.
