Cold....

[INTAKE BLADE]

We're our own worst enemy though aren't we? It's all "Snowbombs" and "Beast from the East". When I was a kid in the 70's it just snowed a lot, no fancy names, no hysterical warnings about shops running out of food.

Now everything has to have a name (why would you name a storm after someone who goes to the Bingo? Call it Storm Vern or Storm Bastard) and anyone who goes shopping has to put pictures of the empty shelves on Facebook, adding to the panic.

Same with me Crab, in the 70s you opened the door in a morning to find the snow half way up it, had to dig a path out to get to school, tough buggers in those days, also the summers were scorchers, a great time to have a magnifying glass

38c forecast in Sydney today. I’ll have to wear a cardi!

 

[1066blade]

That's -22deg Centigrade.
That's fuckin cold, I once went as low as -16C in Prague ( midnight)

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Well when I were a kid, we had it rough...... we lived in Cerberus Blade s lake and had to break through four foot of ice just to get out of lake and he'd be waiting to thrash us half to death with a copy of menu from an expensive Chinese restaurant in Manchester.

Then he'd fly us to Arctic to his ice factory for a 23 hour shift and then, make us walk home quoting rhyming couplets about him.

That’s a gross exaggeration,
It’s pure imagination,
You only pissed in my lake,
Your accusations are fake,

(Funny though!)

Now repeat the above 100 times and get back to work on that giant ice dildo that I put thi in charge of!

 

[Pierre's PC]

It's -5 here and I've got the nip on

 

[Feo]

That's cap sleeve t shirt weather in Sheffield on a night out down town in the 70s

With a 3 star jumper on top though .

 

[Cerberus Blade]

My Grandma used to always blame the Russians for the bad weather!
"Sending them bloody rockets up they are!"

Seriously... that brought back memories of my granny too. She used to blame the weather on them sending “whizz bangs” into the air!

 

[Cerberus Blade]

I'm flying into Chicago tomorrow!
According to ABC news if you're outside you could get frostbite within 5 minutes!

Great city Chicago! Hope you get a chance to see some of it? Probably my favourite city in the US.

Just check the plane has snow tyres on before you land!

The girls there are very hot though. Be careful!

If you’re inside with one you could get lovebite within 5 minutes!

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Had a call with a colleague in Chicago today. He said he couldn’t leave the house as it was -40 including the wind chill.

Pack a vest.

Thermals packed, along with Leon's gloves!

 

[Hartley Hare]

I have seen grown men cry of the cold...................

[Hamburg Blade]

Germans are reight nesh. 1st September and they all clobber up. I've been told by a woman stranger on a bus that I should be wearing a coat. (I teld her I were a tough northerner)

She’s trying to tell you you’re riff-raff for not wearing a coat in cold weather. But obviously the subletly of that escaped you.

Classy!

Sheffield weather warning.
"A massive bouncing weather bomb is due to come in from the north, but weather scientists are confident it will not cross the halfway point in the city...."
further updates to be advised.......

 

[BigBed]

Fecking cold this morning!!

 

[Brian Deane]

Minus 8 at 05:30 this morning. Thank frig for heated screens

Most German men look like their mother dressed them. I usually look like a blind man on crack dressed me.

In the 1920s some people blamed the popularity of the saxophone for a spell of bad weather.
If I was clever enough I could probably produce a computer programme to prove it. Just give me a research grant.
The science is settled.

 

[GrayBlade]

Minus 6 degrees C according to my car first thing this morning, but hey, we’ve had worse.

 

[Tezza1889]

With all this excitement today, you just know saturdays game will be off don’t you..

 

[BushBlade]

No, it will be on but Fleck will slip on the wet surface and do his ACL.

 

[Tezza1889]

Surrounding areas mate, just you wait..

They need to be HB. Once experienced minus 28 in Berlin. That needed a coat! Could hardly breath. Amazing experience but not in a hurry to do it again

Doesn’t matter anyway. Wilder’s replacing Sarri before the weekend. Just seen him down Fulham Road with Abramovich.

 

[Tezza1889]

Yeah been on the news, Wilder just threw a pan of water in the air so it could freeze before falling to the ground, brought Roman to tears that did, ahh the childhood memories..

It’s 4 degrees C here. Not even cold.

 

[Whiston Blade]

Bit disappointed that in keeping with the WWF/E theme of recent posts with Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan, we've not had a Stone Cold picture.

C'mon YES Blade

 

[ChemEngBlade]

Good luck having scientific debates on here chemeng blade, waste of time, the last one who tried was burned at the stake. Try to stick to unfounded gossip to support a long held political position, its the norm round here..

The problem is though, its shit like that that gains traction. A lie is halfway around the world before the truth has got its trousers on, its where bloody flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers & climate-change deniers breed.

 

[Brian Deane]

No, it will be on but Fleck will slip on the wet surface and do his ACL.

Fleck won't be there slip he's a slippery Flecker and will be darn sarf where the climate this a tad warmer

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Chicago update:
Finally arrived despite BA and they're cancelled flight and delay and yes it's a bit chilly, reminds me of Scandinavian winters; crisp coldness and crunchy snow.
Started to snow again on the way back from the Pub last night and I could feel to cold through my jeans. Anyways, thermals today and hopefully some sightseeing.

The view coming into land at O'Hare yesterday.

You tell kids we were ankle deep in ladybirds and they look at you gone out.
