The police are fining people £60 for having snow on their car roof! I thought it was a facebook joke but its true, 2 people I know have been fined. This government will do anything for money.
You mean apart from the fact that it's dangerous for the driver, other motorists and pedestrians. I can't imagine that a huge slab of ice crashing down onto your windscreen, or into the car behind, is that safe. It takes what? less than a minute to clear the roof using a brush, hardly back breaking work... Anybody who gets fined quite frankly deserves it.
Over at my place a record low jus' hit the spot...-10 degrees celcius. I don't like them frostbites and the chill coldness of winter that makes me want to hybernate more than usual. I can't even set foot on my own lawn because it is too dam cold.
I want some snow for once. Hate people who treat me like a computer god just because I fixed their internet problem. They didn't even plug the ethernet cable.
Oh how that snow is certain death for some people O.O But, I haven't fallen yet, which is a miracle, but It hasn't stopped since Saturday, I'm not sure if I'll miss school or not, I had to walk yesterday over the bridge up 2 hills down another then up the slope to our school. Its black ice under the snow D=< I wish they would grit the roads already =T
Here in farm town, USA we've yet to have a singly flake of snow fall yet. I'm actually mowing the grass this week. New rant: I hate rapidshare's ever-increasing download wait times. 15min was fine, but cmon, 40?
I walked to the ABC store today, saw two accidents, multiple police. As I exited the ABC store with some Bacardi in hand, a young rookie cop approached me and asked me if I planned on drinking in public. He had his hand full with the accidents, and yet he decided that even though five people were behind me, all with bottles on bottles of booze, I was the one going to drink in public. Oh and not to mention, that in the same ABC store, my old doctor, the one who mis-diagnosed me, was in there buying vodka. I thanked him for screwing me over, his reply?, he pulled out a prescription pad and wrote me a prescription for Percocet. Right in the ABC store. Just one of those days.- One I will never understand. Not even when I am finally off this prison. Good luck with that snow folks, we just have black ice here, at least I get a chuckle when the folks with heavy tread boots fall on their asses.
It seems schadenfreude is one of the few good things left in this screwed-up hellhole of a globe sometimes.
