Title: The fog Post by: Scot Munroe on Monday, November 6, 2006, 16:43:53 It is pretty bad. Was in Matalan buying a winter coat and my dad was driving home and you could not see the garage in Nythe and Dorcan School.
Title: The fog Post by: Sade on Monday, November 6, 2006, 16:48:47 :( Its scary,could see what was on either side of the road on the way to work this morning.It was also really slippery on our path outside my house and I nearly fell straight up on my arse.Its getting colder too.I had a scarf,gloves,t-shirt and 3 jumpers on this morning and my teeth were still chattering.Although we should'nt really moan as it hasnt really rained much......I hope I have not just jinxed it.

Walking in fog is good fun, especially if its somewhere you know well, and it then takes on a completely different aspect.....for example Barbury is somwhere I regularly go for walking.....its at its best at night or in fog. Driving is a bummer though.....anyone recall the journey back from Bormuff in 95? Title: The fog Post by: sonic youth on Monday, November 6, 2006, 18:06:53 driving into swindon tonight is going to be dismal in this fog, the a420 will be a crawwwwwl.
Title: The fog Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, November 6, 2006, 18:10:44 Another classic football fog, was v Bradfrod City about 88 or 89.
David Elleray had to abandon it with us 3-0 up and about 30 mins to go......thickest I've ever seen, you could hardly see the end of your arm. Title: The fog Post by: mr ian on Monday, November 6, 2006, 18:12:51 but he made up for it at wembely

Didn't get abandoned but the fog was bad Yep it got bad, started off OK and deteriorated....the rules are if the ref stands on the half way line and can see the goals you can play....the fans couldn't see much but there was enough visibility to get through. That was the game when Deadly Duncan Shearer scored from way out on the touchline in front of Shrivenham Road about 40 metres out , when he closed down a player blocked his hoof, and the ball sailed off into the TE goal :D Title: Re: The fog Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, November 6, 2006, 18:24:35 Quote from: "SwindonUltra" It is pretty bad.

Plus J7-8 of the M5 was shut so took a 30 min detour FFS :evil:
Title: The fog Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 09:35:13 I played footy in it at Dorcan. You couldn't see the goal down the other end of the pitch, and it was only the 5-a-side ones!

Title: The fog Post by: Ginginho on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 12:18:37 How much are the pitches at Dorcan ?
I play at the Oasis once a week and it's a bastard rip off at £33.60 (WITH a swindoncard) Title: The fog Post by: quinnismyhero on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 15:06:32 Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Another classic football fog, was v Bradfrod City about 88 or 89.

I remember that - I was living in London and it took me 4 hours to get out of Swindon and back to Walthamstow in the car. 'kin' nightmare. Big pile-up on M4 J14-J15. Not nice Title: The fog Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 17:33:18 Foggiest game I have been to was Torquay vs Blackpool, the year before last i think. Could JUST make out the goal at the other end but was a bit odd when nobody could tell that Blackpool had scored!
Last night it took me 15-20 minutes just to drive into Clane when its normally a comfortable 7 or 8! Was going about 35mph for some of it which is so annoying! Ahhhh the joys of driving :-))( Title: The fog Post by: Bedford Red on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 18:48:35 Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Quote from: "land_of_bo" Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" Another classic football fog, was v Bradfrod City about 88 or 89.

I've got it on video and the way the fog came down so quickly over half time and into the second half! It's hard to pick out Steve Foley's winning goal still; and I've watched it loads of times.

Title: The fog Post by: Boeta on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 23:41:29 how can you tell the difference between sugar and salt?
question asked by microsoft to 10,000 graduates applying for 5 jobs Title: The fog Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 23:42:47 I'd taste it.
Title: The fog Post by: Boeta on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 23:47:27 exactly what 9,999 others said
so you'd hardly stand out Title: The fog Post by: STFC Village on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 23:52:09 Did the other person say that they'd smell it? That would be a great answer
Title: The fog Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 23:58:19 It's a fucking stupid question really. Did nobody at microsoft know the answer?
Title: The fog Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, November 8, 2006, 00:00:29 one of the five guys who got the job (not sure what the other 4 said) said he'd jog on the spot for 5 minutes then place it on his forehead. if it crystalized it was salt, if not it was sugar
Title: The fog Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, November 8, 2006, 00:07:31 Why would you not just taste it though? Surely employing people who aren't gonna fuck around jogging on the spot for 5 mins when you can sort it out in 5 seconds is just dumb. Someone should have words with those silly buggersr.
Title: The fog Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, November 8, 2006, 00:15:03 and also what does this have to do with fog? I've never been so outraged at anything in my whole life
Title: The fog Post by: Boeta on Wednesday, November 8, 2006, 00:20:15 it displays thinking outside the box and microsoft want innovative thinkers. probably
can't work out why i posted it here, thought this was a thread with similar stuff in back to fog... when i was out on monday night walking pub-to-pub, pub-to-club, freezing my tits off it was impossible to see down any of the side roads and therefore pretty difficult to work out where the fuck we were going |
