Brock Manson 0 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's still snowing. I was meant to be back at uni today! Got a bloody dissertation to get printed & ring-bound then handed in ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15120 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 When the snow hit before Christmas we had friends coming over from Germany for the weekend who didn't make it because their flight got put back by three days thanks to Gatwick and Easyjet incompetence. We have friends from Norway who are scheduled to arrive into Gatwick tomorrow night... and the runway's closed so fuck only knows if they'll make it or not. The lesson is clear: never make friends.

Guest alex Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Foot and a half of snow forcast for Reading, they've already had loads and i'm due to go back there for uni on Sunday I thought you were about 45 gannin off your taste in music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6581 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 The only shocking planning is from any individual making a non-critical journey knowing full well what the conditions are. Considering they took the decision to close my office and ask us to go home, I'm struggling to think what else you expected me to do except get on the road? As for first time in my lifetime, well that's bollocks. It's about the 5th or 6th but lets not forget it came 15 days after the last one. Can't say for the whole of the country but the authorities in Hampshire are stating they would have ploughed the roads had they not been full. The idea of staggering closures of the motorway while they cleared that section would have helped without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 29491 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I don't know what the craic is in England but over here the DOE claim that they've no duty to grit the roads and do it out of the goodness of their hearts from their budget surplus.

What a bunch of wankers! And if they got stuck on an ungritted road, I bet they'd be the first to moan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but one third of the cost of people pulling sickies every year is a hell of lot of money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Always seemed daft to me that universities with semesters (have they all gone that way now?) have exams more or less straight after Xmas. Surely it would be better to have them before the Xmas holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
