Surreal. Yesterday I was on a beach in Mexico where it was 35C in the shade. Flew back overnight and it was -10 at Manchester airport. Didn't have time to go back home before the match so dumped my cases at work and watched the match with several layers of summer clothes on - and still thought I was going to get frost bite (not to mention being delirious through lack of sleep). Taxi nearly crashed on the way back home in a blizzard, and I had to help push it - my trainers are fucked. Work tomorrow at 8, hope I sleep tonight.

Am pleased some cunt does. 12 pints of Guinness are no good on days like this. I logged on here about 11 last night when I got in, and I was that pissed I couldn't type.

Set off at 7.30am to drive my Mrs to Sunderland for her interview. I knew before we set off it would be cancelled but until I had it confirmed we had to try! 90minutes fucking later before they confirmed it was cancelled. Fortunately I thunked ahead and avoided the A1 as once you are on there this morning you aint getting back off for a good 2-3hours! Why the fuck the interviewers didnt just cancel it the minute they opened their curtains this morning :razz:

Gritter lorries attacked by youths in city

 

Gritting lorries treating dangerously-icy roads have been attacked by youths in Londonderry on Sunday.

 

The window of one vehicle was smashed and the Roads Service was not able to grit a number of roads in the Creggan and Gobnascale areas.

 

Elsewhere, the service said all roads had now been treated and were "passable with care".

 

About 93 schools across Northern Ireland were closed beause of the bad weather.

 

Sinn Fein councillor Kevin Campbell said people in Creggan had been on standby to escort the gritters in and out of the area.

 

"People on the ground were very annoyed at the fact that pensioners and other people were in effect locked down because Roads Service weren't in and gritting the area."

 

SDLP MLA Pat Ramsey said young people should know better than to attack gritters.

 

"Young people should know what's right from wrong in these situations, and this is getting out of hand."

 

Roads Service said evening gritting services were withdrawn from the area for "operational reasons", but normal service will resume following co-operation with local representatives."

 

Overnight temperatures in Castlederg, County Tyrone, were recorded at -8.5C and -7.1C in Enniskillen.

 

On Sunday, temperatures plummeted to the coldest on record for November in Northern Ireland.

 

The lowest reading was at Lough Fea which dropped to -9.5C (14.9F).

 

The next coldest temperature was -9C (15.8F) recorded in 1978 at Murlough.

 

The Roads Service warned of extremely hazardous driving conditions and advised drivers to exercise caution.

Took me 2 hours to get from North Shields to Gosforth this morning. It's fine on a weekend but a bit of a ballache at work.

 

We've got a load of southerners in our team who just don't come to work when it's snowing. They live locally but they're used to working in London and when the weather is like this they just open the curtains and go "Errr don't think so!" - puffs.

Going to take the dogs out again in a bit and take the camera! :razz:

 

They love it but at some points the snow is higher than the terriers and you have to carry them!

 

The pointer can cope with it fine.

Took the dogs out and they loved it! As predicted the two smaller dogs were occasionally of lesser height than the snow so that was at times hilarious! (these images should resize themselves by the way!)
