Ah, you're so young ....................... Those are the Slag Brothers from Wacky Races!

Thankfully there's been a Test Match to follow while I've been hors de combat.
Along with " Dick Dasterdley and Mutly" , " Penelope Pitstop" , · The Ant hill Mob " , " the Gruesome Twosome", " Professor Pat Pending " ( American joke, awaiting the Patent ) etc,etc. I ain´t that young. I know " bam bam " was the kid from the Flintstones, but if I remember correctly " Bam Bam " were the only words they spoke

Edit, and just for the record DD&M also starred in " Stop the Pigeon " NOW

I'd quite forgotten it was Winter, but this moaning we have had several hours of snowfall.

A little has settled (What Southern Jessies would call a Severe Weather Event) but mainly it's just slush.

The council got themselves into a right old flap about the orange snow warning last night.

There was about quarter of an inch here this morning - there wasnt even enough to hide the grass. It was ruddy cold out though this morning.

:D

Just got back from Bell-Ringing:

Going out, I was delayed because the Car door was frozen shut and then the Vindscreen Vipers were stuck fast to the screen.

Coming home, still struggled to get the door open and hit four patches of black ice.

SWMBO has been out too and she also hit black ice.

Did the ice crack when she hit it? VW´s obvious have viper problems as well as emissions

Snow here this morning though only about 2cm. Roads were a bit dodgy, as I had to take SWMBO in for a blood test at 8am......
