Boblingen? Zuffenhausen?

The first one (for the 2nd time), worked at the second one as well but they moved me to Weissach.

Driving home mid afternoon, spotted a black (as in as black as they come) cloud on the horizon. Passed from bright sunshine into blackness & a snow storm of biblical proportions in a matter of feet- high winds and snow flakes the size of snow balls while motoring at 80+ made for an interesting time.
...& then suddenly it cleared
Also upon a stretch of motorway with a 40mph restriction...which just happened to be a section with those average speed cameras newly installed on their gantries...slowed to 40...passed the first, passed the second and then accelerated ' cos I thought that was that! rounding a bend -too late saw the third gantry and slammed the brakes on - so I expect to receive the 3 points and auto fine soon.
Some ravings of an angry motorist - why restrict a two lane motorway to 40mph when there are still two lanes still open - is it entirely random that the 40 limit was exactly the area covered by the new cameras or a cynical ploy to extract revenue?
Where did I put that thermite?

So totally inappropriate then...

Like most things American...

Can I take a raincheck on that?

<ZG in "weird American saying he doesn't understand" mode >

American baseball fans will be familiar with the term, as that is where it arose: when a game was rained out, those who had tickets for that game were given a rain check which they could redeem at another game.

Sunny and warm in Londinium ...just like the people

[hattra]

plenty of wind here and some sleet. temperature-wise its fine.

Gonna be an interesting week. we could take bets on what minimal amount of snow will fall before trains start being cancelled as a result.

Ah, well - three snowflakes in the whole of Sussex overnight - so no trains this morning. finally made it to Southampton at 10:30

Nice weather in Surrey - no snow, not too cold and bright sunshine.

No, you've got it all wrong. I was going to go to the park and watch the kids at play

Wrong thread mate!!

No, you've got it all wrong. I was going to go to the park and watch the kids at play

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Gales and driving snow/ice/sleet yesterday, but nothing stayed over night. Bright and sunny this morning.

The tops of the Pennines are still white but nothing lower down.
