Default Tomorrow I will be mostly sledging

In preparation for the whole of london grinding to halt with a paltry inch of snow and chaos on the roads, tomorrow I am *ahem* working from home
(it helps that I am the boss )

Kids off to school and then back home to get kitted up for some fun in the snow
uhh I mean working hard, answering emails, etc etc






anyone else throwing a sicky, working from home ??

gary you utter barsteward !@!!

Let us know how you get on with it..are you going to run parallels, I think you mentioned you had bought it.

and if you need any software, just yell

can I just say barsteward again !!!

come to think of it, with that size screen, it would make a cracking sledge, though you might lose it in the snow with it being white

Nope - not unless my local roads are blocked with drifting snow.

I have set a benchmark. If I can get in from Suffolk which is 75 miles from where I work in London, then everyone can - no excuses



I do have a bit of a quandry though. Should I take the nice comfy safe warm XC70 with a bit of extra ride height or slap the winter tyres on the RA (no ABS either) and have a bit of a laugh?

Cheers Tony!

Yep putting parallels on it, now its here and on the worktop its fooking hooge! But looks amazing all the same.

Yes would be a great sledge, wide enough to get my fat *** on it thats for sure! Think I might take a few snaps and post em in the comp section for the PC biyatches to look at

Wow, memories of Pinner Hill golf course

Apparently it snowed in Lisbon again this year - about 10 cold and soggy mins during a 2-hour rainstorm
