It's okay everyone, I'm back and I survived.
I can confirm, however, that 'outside' is full of 'weather' and 'fucking idiots'.

Tell us tales of frustrating idiocy.

Alt: Tell us about the good old days when snow didn't bring the country to a grinding halt.

Every school in Weston is shut.

Alt: it was ever thus, but people didn't complain about it as much back then, they just accepted that shit happened, it all started ith leaves ion the line.

anotherthig you never used to hear about was velociraptors. I was into dinosaurs as a kid as were/are many boys, but, while I'm sure they were known they were not like this big, ubercool dinosaur, it was all about the tyrannosaurus rex, although ankylosaurus was my favourite.. And that's another thing, when I was a kid half the fun of knoyi ng about dinosaurs was the long and complicated names, none of this dumbed down T-Rex shite. I blame Jurassic Part on both counts. Damn you Michael Crichton!. /rant
