I think I am going to have a power cut. My lights keep flickering and my Sky has already gone off once.

I hear we are going to have a tuff winter that lots of power cuts seem likely. Someone also told me that we may have to have a 3 or 4 day work week to save power due to the bad weather we suppose to be getting?

Anyone else heard this?

Every fucking year the weather people always say this winters gonna be a cold one, and it never fucking is.

yes i have. the government will also swich off electric in London for a few hours one day. it wouldn't surprise me. theyv'e done it before. and the 3 day week could make a return. fun!

The 3 day week sounds fun, but I guess we'd only get paid for the days we work which isn't so good. If that's not the case though then bring it on.

Anyway I doubt we'll have a bad winter, hasn't been one for years now, 1 or 2 days of light snow at the most.

My Sky box keeps crackling and making noises.  :x

Last winter was freezing and the year before in fact. The rain at the moment is ridiculous I got soaked yesterday even on just a 5 minute walk. Even though it's sunny today it's still fucking raining.

Last winter wasn't freezing, you big softie!!  It was mild, I barely wore my coat last winter.

me neither. we are  going to have mild winters now apprently because of global warming

I heard we have to have roast beef for xmas dinner coz the turkeys will die of bird flu.

  The 3 day week was ace, although a student at the time....when there was a power cut looming you'd make sure to go to a birds or invite them round yours, light the candles and realise there was nowt to do.....well other than shag.

 STFC had to play either on a Sunday, so Jimmy Allan refused to play which meant Alan Spratley...quite possibly the least competent keeper in our history played, or mid week afternoons, a crowd of 2600 v Looton showed this not to be  a great idea.

 We had a generally shit season finishing bottom of the old old Div 2....with the lowest gates in the league at just over 7000 average.

 We'd manage to drop from 14000 in a couple of seasons.

Blimey Reg sounds ace to me!

Birdy .. are u at risk with the Bird Flu??

I don't even have a coat but it was freezing. I hate the cold.

I can't really remember last winter. I'm sure it was chilly though.

Last winter was so mild I used to walk to work in a t shirt, speedo's and bare feet.  And I used to walk the long way round too, walking through as many puddles as I could.  I found it so warm on some January days I'd often have to stop at these puddles I mention and roll around in them just to cool down a bit.  

That's how mild it was you, fucking pussies!

Yeah but you're part scottish so it would seem warm but I knew the truth it was super cold. Coldest in living memory I believe. The summer was pretty cold as well. Why has it suddenly got so cold. I blame global warming.

 :)
You are from the land of Scotland though :) , they wear skirts all the time there :wink:

I was born down here, I get my scotchness from my Dad.

Makes no odds, Jan.  My nan's Scottish but born in England, and it's rare you catch her without a battered mars bar in one hand........and an irn-bru in the other.

...with a Daily Record rolled up in her back pocket.

And the Proclaimers on her walkman

 :shock:  hope not

My nan's lawyers have just contacted me and asked me to withdraw this statement as she is in fact "...fae Aberdeen, no some fuckin' weegie rathoose, yer ken?"

Sorry, nan.

I once lent my "Trainspotting" book to a friend once, he gave it back and said it was a good read, but it took him about 10 chapters to figure out who "Ken" was!!  Had me in stitches!

Birdy u need to be innoculated! :shock:

 I've heard the anti bird flu jab is a particularly big prick....

Aye, n ban greetin at the fitba likes :advercool:

My only memory of last winter was freezing my bollocks off in the 4-1 thrashing of Hull, I've never been so cold in my life.

Conclusive proof it was a cold winter. :nod:

wasn't it 4-2?  :mrgreen:

Well done Rich, holes are appearing in their story already!!!

That wasn't that cold, it snowed I grant you but I remember countless games in the 80's coming out of the ground, and when I got back to my car my hands were so cold I could hardly turn the key. At least with standing you tended to keep warmer then in the ground.

Reg will tell you it was even colder in the 60's/70's etc, winter's don't exist anymore, but people have got softer with central heating etc.

Anyway, I like the cold for some strange reason, it always makes for a good evening match in my opinion, that's how football should be.

62-63 - very very cold winter my pet goldfish froze in it's bowl in my bedroom
I was very sad (and cold)

I feel your pain Ron.....you could have, of course subsequently, eaten it in a fish finger sandwich.
