Quoll Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Been to the Lakes a few times, like that every time I've been. I think Quoll and I may have a very different definition of "gorgeous". Quite probably - clear blue sky, fluffy clouds, muted light sunshine, berries on the hedgerows, the new green of winter crops, crisp clear air, festive looking villages - perhaps a tad too much mud under foot though I must admit but the pubs en route were gems. Yesterday was not like that! (So I didn't mind not being able to be out and walking in it!). Think it might be raining now - must be the end of the world.

flybyknight Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 the uk is the place to be for front row seats of global warming. the convergence of multiple weather systems, with the major stuff being driven by the jet stream that sits right overhead. or at least should sit there, it's been swinging further north and south over the last years due, it is thought to the rising temperatures melting the ice cap. i think if i was living there, a well insulated house, a good few meters above sea level would be a sound long term investment. http://ossfoundation.us/projects/environment/global-warming/arctic-polar-amplification-effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate put a ferret up his trousers once. Another friend walked into the firsts kitchen when he heard a screaming noise. He walked in to see friend A on the floor and his brother ripping his trousers off and what appeared to be a strangling manouver on his "parts" Turns out that the ferret had gone up and biten on to his balls! Needless to say that was never repeated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
