saints1884 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 sorry that is quite funny really, poor cat. The news is the worst though, watching a weather lady talking about watching the 10cm of snow around London, as it could make travelling tricky. FFS we have 4 times that amount and they are just brushing over it, its a bit of a joke really. What makes it worse is she is white with black spots on her fur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Probably 3 inches (maybe 4 inches) in Glasgow. It has snowed a bit throughout the day, but nothing heavy, just the fluffy powdery stuff. I saw on the news that all state schools in Glasgow are shut because of this adverse weather. The Central Belt is full of wimps. Absolutely nonsense decision and I agree with you. Roads weren't like a normal day, busy but take your time, leave a bit earlier and they were fine. Sure buses and trains were delayed but it wasn't that bad- my commute took 15-20mins more. I drove from Renfrewshire through Glasgow and even stopped for lollipop folk in Glasgow when kids were walking to school! We're supposed to believe they have 'staff' shortages in schools in Glasgow and they shut them all yet Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire had all schools bar 1 or 2 open. Staff shortages- aye right, duvet day more like for the lazy f***ers. Shouldn't pay anyone who didn't turn up and watch as they magically appear. Jeeze, turning into Lawstud there, but that was a stupid decision that annoys me as it affects parents who have to leave work to pick up their kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenElves Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 "Alloa Academy, Alva Academy and Lornshill Academy will be open to all pupils in S4/5/6 from 10 am to 3 pm. This will allow pupils to walk to school in daylight. It will not be business as usual. Facilities for study support will be offered and where possible, course work will be posted on the school's own website. There will be no school transport available and parents/carers should be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that their children get to and from school safely." Aye, f**k that. exactly. its a piss take -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackDFC Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 exactly. its a piss take No, this is a piss take(which I posted a few pages back) Half the teachers are off, as are half the pupils. Also were not aloud basically outside because the snow is falling from the roof, but were still at school? I learnt nothing at school today, because there's no point teaching us if there's less than half a class there. And to top it off, the S5/S6 parents evening has been called off tonight cause of 'adverse weather conditions'. Fucking joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I've given up any hope of driving my car at all while it's like this. Thankfully I don't have anywhere I desperately need to be until a week on Saturday. It's parked up the road from me as our drive is inaccessible. Went up to turn it over there and to clear some of the snow from it. With the snow I pushed down from the roof it now goes up about three feet of the doors. It started first time and I let it run for ten minutes to heat it up, so that's fine. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Not used my car since Friday and I don't intend to use it for a while. Ive finished Uni and I can walk to work and the pub which are the only places I need to go. No idea when I will next get it out but to be honest I'm not that bothered. Will save me a fortune on fuel. The snow keeps belting down in Haddington and just doesn't look like stopping. We seem to have got it the worst in East Lothian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
