start smoking indoors?

nope, not smoked since he moved out. its now all painted and lovely, part of the bigger plan to stop – hopefully I’ll last longer then 5 days which was last time :you_crazy :hopeless:

yep snowing again here in ipswich (about 15 miles West of where Josh is).
-0.3 Celsius outside.

part of the Telephone Exchange in the village I work in crashed this morning, as well as half the landlines just stopping working it also knocked out O2 and T-mobile as all the circuits to the cell sites go via BT anyway (something many people do not realise!)

to be fair on Openreach it was fixed with half an hour and broadband stayed up all the time (which means that at least I can route the calls via VOIP to the other site or even my VOIP telephone exchange under the stairwell in my house)… I think it just got overloaded as everyone is trying to use their phones at the same time to check their friends/family are safe..

been charging up the netbook and a spare mobile in case the leccy or broadband disappears here…..

Shit i hope it passes over here. I got shit to do in an hours time. Please start snowing afterwards!!!!

looks like I am going to miss the Transition Towns party as the roads are way too treacherous to cycle on now, I’m gutted as I’ve been trying to meet up with the local group for months and always work or something else gets in the way….:cry:

you should be ok nearly all main roads would be gritted i had to ride my motorbike to work this morning not fun but it gripped fine on the main roads i just pushed it on the little side road i had to use

cant say the same for a few of my mates who have peds!

GL – apparently the snow polow & gritter also ran into problems on the a14 so it didnt get done, & it was closed? my mum had a proper hard time gettin to work – apparently the fast lane was covered in snow, and the lane that wasnt, hadnt been gritted – nearly got plowed by a lorry at a roundabout when the brakes didnt work!

do u like on the felixstowe side of the bridge Mr Lighting?

hope i get to my van before it snows properly, left my snowboard boots in there, cant board without em.

got some huge hills round here next to the chilterns, gotta hope it cains it down in the next week as ive got time off now,
