It's wetter than a hen party at a Chippendales show in Norwich today. Also; freezing. Why isn't it snowing?

Because snow only falls when it's slightly above freezing.

I don't think my opinion of "freezing" can be taken as any kind of barometer
My logic is as follows; December, pre-Christmas + rain + cold = snow. Or at least it fucking should.

You just made that up, didn't you?

No.
Saw it on QI I think.

In their general ignorance round then.
Of course snow can fall below freezing. Otherwise it wouldn't snow in...well...huge parts of the world where it snows.

I'm off to The Lake District in 4 hours time.
Where it is actually snowing proper, real, settling snow.

I can't wait. Assuming the snow doesn't give Virgin Trains an excuse to shut down for the day.

That sounds brilliant mate
Hope the view of whichever bit of English countryside your train gets stuck in for three hours because of a bit of snow is pretty.

If I can get past Lancaster before that happens, I'll be happy with the view.
Apart from the fact that I've just realised it will be dark, so that's no good.

Pop out of the train and set fire to something
WIN

I really like Lancaster.
Despite it being in the shitty north.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 16 Dec 2011, 9:25, Reply)

Yeah, it's alright there.
It's not a fun station to be hanging around when you've got 45 minutes between trains mind you.

Go through to Oxenholme and wait outside of Kendal
Or alternatively go through to Carnforth and have a coffee in the cafe where Brief Encounter was filmed...

Top Northern tips here folks.

I can't do either.
I know the journey well, I've done it loads, but I'm going to Ulverston, so I need to change at Preston or Lancaster depending what train I get out of Euston so Oxenholme is no good and you can't get to Carnforth without making the same change at Preston or Lancaster anyway.

Well thats shite...
I suggest you go back and hide in The Knares...

(Basildon reference right there folks)

Hahahahaha.
The Knares needs knocking down and replacing with, well, pretty much anything would be an improvement. They could have picked up Dale Farm and put it in The Knares and it would have raised the average socio-economic grade a level.

Ah happy times
It is so shite that I no longer live there, and have to put up with living in the Lake District

That is the exact same move I'm contemplating making if I can find work up there.

What do you do?
Apart from not a lot and fuck about on here?

I've very carefully not said what I do on here and I'm not going to change that now...

I was going to see if I could point you in the right direction...

I would do the same

Are all Basildonians drawn to the Lake District then?

fortunately I was only there for a while
I would love to say I am proudly from Sarfend, but that is nothing to be proud of
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Fri 16 Dec 2011, 10:05, Reply)

It is compared to Basildon.
I actually really like Southend. I'd happily live in Leigh at least.
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Fri 16 Dec 2011, 10:10, Reply)

I think most Basildonians are drawn to anywhere that's not Basildon.
I escaped to London for years but got drawn back. It's like Carlito's Way.

Without wanting to piss on your lovingly prepared chips
It really isnt snowing up here in the frozen and backward north...
Little bit on the ground but nothing worth hiding the body of a frozen tramp in.
