Snow

[Carl the Llama]

Was pretty thick down here on the way in to work, good job I left early with the number of numpties who were brave enough to drive but not confident enough to get out if first gear...

Fair to say my mutts have loved it 

[Samilktray]

Took me about an hour & a half to drive home from work this morning, normally takes 15 minutes. On top of that I nearly died about 8 times. Safe to say I'm not going in work tonight

Are you a cat?

Got a 3 hour drive tomorrow ...    Hope the roads are ok ....

Can anyone give me any advice? I have work tonight and its a 5 mile drive on very quiet country roads. I've managed to go through my driving career without snow as I've lived by the sea for a few years. I'm living near croft at the mo and the snow is 6 inches thick. I don't finish work till 7am and its likely to freeze. Is this an excuse not to go work being very unconfident about driving there? I work through an agency so I feel I should go as they're not shy to let people go.

I'd say it was a perfectly good reason, but I'd gild the lily a little and say you are snowed in.

It isn’t a perfectly good reason and they can’t let you go for not going in. You won’t be the only one.

 

I remember going out on a work night once and getting completely wankered. Woke up the next day still smashed, looked out the window and it’s been snowing hasn’t it. Saviour

It’s a perfectly valid reason but I’d still lay it on thick. I doubt I’ll go in tomorrow, **** traveling to London in this.

Cheers guys! Will see how I feel in a few hours.

[stripeyfox]

Ffs! Already schools are announcing that they are closed tomorrow!

A phrase I haven't heard in ages mate so I looked it up.

 

Apparently it also has a very different meaning these days! 

 

gild the lily

Also, as an alternate meaning, another phrase for female masturbation; the manual stimulation of the clitoris performed on oneself.

 

After I found out that my boyfriend couldn't make a bootycall last night, I had to gild the lily to get to sleep.

Fookin work shy lightweights !! ...    It's only a bit of snow not an invasion of zombie flesh eaters ...    Man up !!

 

 

[stripeyfox]

As long as you take care, allow extra time, and don't drive like a twat, the roads are driveable (around here anyway)

I’m pretty sure that’s the definition @Buce meant.

Absolutely disgraceful. Unfortunately I can't say I'm surprised he'd say such a thing.

Typical lefty, would rather stay at home wànking all day .

[Rogstanley]

I'm going to do my social duty and stay at home tomorrow so as to not make the roads any more dangerous than they already are.

Does anyone know what it costs to join momentum?

[The Year Of The Fox]

Not sure what to do tomorrow really. Driving in snow/ice doesn’t bother me one bit, but I’ve fallen out of love with work at the moment so it’s a great excuse not to go in. On the other hand, I could do with the pay and I know loads won’t turn in tomorrow so there’s an opportunity to play the hero a bit ?

For me there's no choice. Not being a teacher, my workplace will be open for business and I will be expected to be there - even if I have to walk in

I’m a plumber so we’re bound to be busy with call outs etc

My mate has his own plumbing business. He used to love this time of year - he'd literally be rubbing his hands together at the first cold snap!

I’m not walking over 100 miles, I’ll probably leave out in the morning but if traffic is crap, I’ll turn round and go home.
