At fucking last!
You do realise the fee was based on a sliding scale factoring in time to completion?
You are down to 53 jelly beans now.

I had to wait for the snow to clear.
What's it like up your way at the moment?

Very cold.
Which means the snow and ice aren't giving in the slightest.
DG has had it worse but I measured the topping on the table in the back garden at 41cm.
And that's without drifting. Fucking horrible.

where are you?

Sunderland.
It's just piled up and piled up with no real melt, especially as the part of the garden where that table is doesn't get any sun until late February.
Another table on the patio collapsed under the weight of snow hitting it as the stuff fell off the roof.

I've seen fuck all. We had maybe a couple of inches in Exeter, over one night, and that's been about it.

Still stopped people from being able to drive though

I heard that it doesn't matter if it's a couple of inches or a foot with you
because of your bucket

I'd notice if it was a foot.
I've been kicked in the fanny before y'know.

In January the snow was so thick on our roof that it covered the skylights and it was pitch black in the flat all day
it was entertaining when it all slid off onto passers by though.

Can't you just cover the table in syrup and let the kids eat it off?

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 9:19, Reply)

It's a slippery slope (no pun intended)
soon he'll just be pouring syrup on everything in the house instead of dusting.

Pfft.
That would take effort. I'm waiting for the dust bunnies to get hungry.
