This was last night: My mates car broke down, we started to tow it but...

Nah I'm being genuine! I only just got home last night, after the Mini was basically a snow-plough... The got stuck 2 doors down my road, which isn't even that steep! Had to run and get a shovel to dig my way through. Now all my digging has snowed over again. The steep hill on the exit to my village had cars stuck all the way up it, a diesel Vectra was sliding down as I walked by!

We've got atleast 6" here! Rang up head office at work, told them I can't get out my village. Then my boss rings me moaning that he got in, but he doesn't undserstand that I live in a village surrounded by hills! So many cars were getting stuck and sliding back down.

It's time. Who's around?

I was going to make a topic about this the day it happened, but I thought there were too many haters on here. Pretty big loss, he was an amazing drummer, such a funny guy aswell! Wrote their best songs too. They won't be the same if they carry on as Avenged Sevenfold.

My sisters in Manchester, just told me people are panic-buying spam!? Also saw one woman buying 30 loafs of bread!? I hope she forgot to get butter.

Had a strange dream last night... OBM had an afro (afrOBM?) and he had to use my phone to take a picture of my mate on his phone listening to one of Mike's winter mixes?

Cider, and lots of it.

This.

What version are you using Mike? I got 64bit Ultimate, because I could. Really like it! Only running 1GB ram, but it runs a lot smoother than Vista did! Had no issues with 64bit compatability either.

10-15mins depending on who I get stuck behind on my way. I have done the same journey in 7mins though.

If I could ban you, I would.

I go riding from time to time... Mainly in the summer/nice weather now! Used to ride in all weathers, but it's died down a bit since then. Went riding a few weeks back in Aylesbury, backwheeled a wall, snapped my crossover and landed flat on my back on the floor!

How did you get it up on that pylon?

My family did a secret santa thing this year, which was much easier. Got some little RC Subaru, which is awesome for drifting round the living room! I didn't want anything though, so I'm happy with that! We also do some raffle each year, all had to get 15 presents for that, so I got some more little bits from that, mainly sweets though.

I went from Xbox to PS3. I prefer the PS3! gameplay etc all seems exactly the same to me, and you don't have loads of annoying squeaky kids on the mic's from what I've found. I prefer the PS3's menu aswell, makes more sense, easier to set up, plus it has iPlayer on it! And a full web browser, easier to buy demos etc...

Yeah, same story. It was working fine at one point, then whenever it said it was connected nothing would work, then Firefox wouldn't respond.

I have a desktop! Running Windows 7, 1GB ram.. blah blah... Not the best build ever, but surely enough to cope with that? Even worked on my mums old desktop! With 512mb ram, XP, etc!

Mate of mine met this girl, she added me on Facebook and started chatting to me. Then got my number and started texting me, was all innocent general chat y'know... then she explained how she was confused etc, cos she has a 'soft spot' for my mate, but likes someone else. Then she told me the other night she likes me, and I turned her down because I don't wanna f**k my mate about. I'm not even that interested in her! I told my mate everything, and he was cool with it! Said I should go for it etc... But I dunno, seems a bit weird really. I haven't even met the girl! Plus she's almost 16, and I'm 19. Kinda want someone around my age that can actually make their mind up! Don't even have a problem, just kinda typing it out for no reason.. While I'm at it... My dad gave me a ring earlier, asking if it'd be alright if he popped round to see us/drop some presents off. Mum was cool with it (They've been divorced around 10yrs) so he turns up, but drunk. He works at the pub, and had been drinking most of the day with his meal etc, which is understandable! My sister has her fiance round, who's a fair bit older than her.. won't go into that. Dad being drunk, says 'quietly' to me 'What's his name? ... he looks too old!' Half-jokingly I guess, he was laughing along... Which made things get awkward... Then when mum finished her wine, he says to me 'Is your mum having another?' then says 'C'Mon, your glass is empty!' being drunk he mumbled it, mum thought he said HIS glass was empty, and started getting in a stress about it! So yet another mini-domestic breaks out, mum moaned at him about being rude to her and Mark (sisters fiance) taking it all out of context, so it gets even more awkward. I offered to walk him back, was gunna have a drink with him, but he was off to his mates. Nice one, Dad. Christmas eh? haha.

Why does it not work for me! Whenever I connect, it freezes, then crashes firefox. Was fine on my sisters crappy laptop though!?

Why are people abandoning their cars in an inch of snow!? All you have to do is go slowly and not jam the brakes on...

Most reliable online weather forecast anyone?

Just got in. Snowy b-roads are fun!

Shut it! I wanted to go about in the Mini and play! Not sit at work... Had such a fun drive in though, took some backroads that I knew would be slippy, and was sliding around at about 5mph.
