Also all the retailers who need to get as much money in their tills to survive. Not to mention people who are taken ill having to get to hospitals.The only place for snow is on a Christmas card!

Another practical/pragmatic way of looking at is,,,,,,nice to look at,nice for kids,but all the self employed/sole trader builders who have been frozen off the last cpl of weeks before crimbo wont be enjoying it.

gaz n family Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Flipping heck, did we all get up out of the wrong side of the bed? And by the way, i do work for myself, i am a consultant for a VERY large company, contracted in to project manager a few projects. So you could say i am self employed. OMG, what happy souls. What can i do about those in Heathrow, or hospitals or shop keepers. NOWT, so there is little point of worrying about it. Did any of them think about me away from my family for the last 4 Christmases stuck in Iraq or Afghan? So whenever you dip in a little do you always say, no thanks, i need to worry about those in hospital or stuck in the airport? Whatever...... Try thinking that the glass is always half full.

Good point mate, i have not earnt any money pretty much for the last three weeks as its just been to cold for what i am doing. I am not destitute at all and we will not suffer but i have still lost a lot of money, however some of my trades are not so lucky and are really struggling, my roofer drove over today to get a cheque off me for £200 so he could bank it before xmas as he has only done a couple of days lately. If this weather carries on for a long time after xmas and into the new year then some people will be in big trouble. By the way nothing against op as i see what he is saying, just thought i would join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris955 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Oh for gods sake let people enjoy what they enjoy. I hope before anybody goes for a swim in that lovely water over Christmas you all consider all those who have lost everything in the floods all over Australia. What about those who die in the heat that some love so much ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz n family Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Whilst taking stock of ones self today unfortunatly no more snow so had to return to work today. So next time someone posts about receiving their visa, or sponsorship is it acceptable to point out that they shold be more mindfull of those that are still waiting? I for one wouldnt, let them celebrate i say. Still at least it kept the thread alive. Life is full of ups and downs, celebrate the ups, they dont come that often and lets not pee on those that do. There is plenty of things on here i dont agree with, but dont post to create a stir, if you dont like it, click the back button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly think you can compare people getting there visas to you having a day off due to weather. Like the above said, we were only pointing out the downsides to the weather but if you want take it totally out of context then feel free:SLEEP: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawny Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I agree that snow can and does cause a lot of misery to some, whilst i do feel for these people stranded at airports in the freezing cold, i still can't help feeling a little selfish, I love seeing my kids out playing in the garden or in the road having snowball fights with neighboring kids, having fun lying in the snow making snow angels! Oh and bombarding their dad with the biggest ones they can make! Probably cause in Bournemouth it's been sometime since we have had what i would call decent snow, we usually get a very light dusting! So for my tiny little bit of selfishness im slightly disappointed that we now have the dark dreary rain that makes everyone feel miserable!:snowman3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz n family Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 so being directed to take stock of myself and instructed on who to think about is there in post two and is pointed right at the first post. God dont some get over excited when they have the bit between their teeth? Likewise the visa or sponsorship was an example, no one compared it to a day off, it was an example of some celebating. In fact me getting a day off paid working for mysef imo is cause for celebration, visas are easier to obtain. I guess this can go on and on so i will request this thread be closed. Its christmas, chill and be merry. I am off to clear the neighbours drives, but i tend not to blow my own trumpet to often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
