Snowbound...
It is with a sense of relief that I can announce that I am essential to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã! It's been a worrying couple of hours but my essential status has been confirmed by senior management.
Word has reached us from our colleagues in London that due to the severe weather all non essential personnel should head home as soon as possible. In weather affected areas only essential folk should remain in the building.
Well there's one thing in Scotland that we can claim to be and that's weather affected.
Meanwhile in London it's easy to think it's a nuclear attack they are dealing with and not a snowstorm. Public transport is severely disrupted and some people may be stranded at their desks overnight. However there is good and bad news for my colleagues down south: "Cabs are still available in London ...but with a waiting time of 2-3 hours". Ouch!

Families were together and people were smiling. It's the best thing that's happened for the family unit for a long time. I think people decided to put on hold all the doom and gloom and get out there together and enjoy it. People talked to strangers and even had fun snowball fights. It was brilliant!

Does anyone actually read the 'House Rules' ?
We are not permitted to be disruptive, provocative, offensive, racist, sexist, sexually explicit, homophobic, abusive or in any way naughty quines and loons.
Where's the fun in that ?!?
Orwell was right...............................

This is an obvious example of entrapment. No-one talks like that outside of Disney films.

Your cynicism knows no bounds, but it's a big and varied world out there.
It's a Ö÷²¥´óÐã site, so that's what happens when the boundaries are breached (as I should know from my previous yellow card on a football-related blog...)

Personally, I think the whole thing, including the digiG post, was set up by GM himself.
