Snow!

Just rode from Archway down to London Bridge wearing snowboarding goggles. I look amazing!

Found myself actively seeking fresh snow backroads.

Watched another hybrid recovery. Be prepared.

I've been trying to pull Aroogah for ages..

+1. I had let them down a bit but decided to pump them back up to 120, didn't think there was going to be any more snow.

Tufnell Park inwards is ok on main roads, I nearly fell off sliding down a side road though.

Apparently there was no snow at 3am so it must have fallen after that, not good for the morning commute.

+1 on htfu and thinness

Boo. And I was about to chime in with 23s @ 120psi

When you notice hard is euphemism for male arousal, the macho digs of HTFU take on a new meaning.

Been out in it all morning. Did well loads of leans and stuff.
YOU CALL THAT SNOW?

I wouldn't mind proper snow - not this shite. It's a light dusting. Proper snow is when you go to bed on the first floor of your two-storey house and wake up in the morning, open the curtains and it looks like everyone around you lives in a bungalow. A couple of inches of snow and the entire country seems to grind to a standstill. Fucking pathetic!

Mind you, it's a pain in the hoop when the temp drops and it freezes over.

I spoke to a bloke last week who thought it was disgusting that London had 1 snowplough when Calgary has 59. I pointed out to him that Calgary is slightly different to London and 8 feet of snow overnight, everynight isn't unusual. All he said was "it's the principle though, isn't it." Regretably I bit and asked him what principle - he then proceeded to rattle on about lack of investment in road clearing facilities, lack of salt etc. The bloke didn't seem to understand that thse machines might lay idle for a decade before being needed again, by which time they'll be superceded by something else that's supposed to be purchased nationwide for use once every ten years?! WACretin.

The way to argue that is to agree, and point out that it's worth paying more tax for it and that other unfunded areas need priority too... why grit roads when we can't even keep rail networks up? And things like heated pavements for heavily used shopping areas. Clearly we'd need to raise income tax a few pence on the pound to bring this stuff up to standard, and you agree with him about the need to raise tax to pay for it... afterall, it's the principle.

I was working for the council a few years ago strimming verges and an old woman came out arguing that we should also do this and that and I used the exact same argument on her but replaced income tax with council tax.

Ask any drivers who complain about lack of investment how they're getting on with their winter tyres. Their response will probably be something along the lines of "There's no point because it only snows properly two weeks every decade".

For the love of Jeebus! DON'T LEAN!!!!!
