Dont worry Iceland will rescue us :


People in Iceland - a country currently in desperate economic trouble - have shipped jumpers and blankets to pensioners in England this week, to keep them warm in the winter.

A container of woolies arrived in the north-east of England after an appeal on an Icelandic radio station. They were handed to local charities in Hull on Thursday.

The campaign started after two Icelanders living in Manchester wrote to the programme, saying they were appalled by the numbers of elderly people dying from cold-related illnesses in England.

While the UK prepares for more freezing temperatures, Australia is experiencing the hottest weather for more than a century, with temperatures in some southern parts exceeding 45C (113F).

On Thursday the heatwave reached Tasmania, with the Australia Bureau of Meteorology reporting all-time record maximum temperatures of up to 19C above the January average.

3rd World Britain.

Band Aid next.

If the BBC weather forecast says heavy snow, expect a heatwave.

Not there, but several of my other websites have significant amounts of that kind of material. I won't give URLs as they get more than enough traffic already.

Is this one of yours then?

There was a hint of it on the BBC News - don't think that they realise how serious it could be...

I see a Michael Fish moment coming on....

Stay safe out there people....

BBC has been running the story since lunchtime. It looks like it has the potential to be the best snowstorm for many years.

Mmmmmm. Snot on their web site.

They haven't made it very prominent, though - it's buried in the "More from the UK" links on the UK page.

Why mention it at all then?

Yes there is a very cold high pressure, coming over the continent from the East. So the Uk will be at the unhappy juncture between cold air and atlantic "warm" air, result ......very very heavy snow, which will stick as the ground will be freezing.

nice bike. Those pedals though - they would not look out of place in a torture chamber
and whats that on your bookshelf, Java ?

The pedals are SPDs off another bike. You need an adapter on your shoes. They're the top end of that kind of pedal. Very low friction bearings so actually really quite comfortable.

That's the dogs house I used for the back drop. Normally, no one but me and the dogs go in there. It's just an over sized kennel really. I've put in some old books for insulation, and for want of a better place. So yes, some are old java books, but there's all sorts: old plant pots, long un-used kitchen machines, lots of odd stuff I keep meaning to throw out, and my body armour, which stinks so much I can't even stand to have it in the garage with the bikes, but the dogs like to be around it. Well, they don't complain.
