I've just spent the last half hour trying to get it out the hedge and rolling down a fairly steep hill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other side of the hedge it drops off really steeply. As it started sliding towards it I very seriously considered jumping out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image of a genuine scenario of someone having to jump out of their car as it skids towards a steep hill just gave me a good laugh. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more serious point, and at the risk of going all Daily Express, this is as bad as I've seen it in Glasgow, inside the city anyway. Probably well beyond the stuff in 2010 (?) when everyone was parking on the M8. Yeah it's the heaviest snow I've seen in the five years I've lived here. Working from home today and likely tomorrow too. I was climbing the walls by half 10 this morning. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see a car there now? edit: to be honest, I just fucked it into reverse and the trees at the bottom of the hill will claim it over time. She was due a new one anyway.

Gaz Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Both me and my wife were at home today. Sadly so were the kids, so the chance of any daytime rumpy-pumpy evaporated as soon as it'd started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well I've received a text from my boss advising our building is now closed and may well be tomorrow so my idea to head home with a carry out seems like a very smart idea now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
