Tony B Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Round here there have been many performances of the BMW ballet and Transit baggatelle has been popular. The super mini hillclimb has attracted some debuties, though the best has been a heavy weight bob sleigh, performed by an artic unit. Still snowing as well.

snowtracdave Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 :rofl::rofl::rofl: Have you noticed that when you get held up it's almost always a BMW at the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 thats because BMW drivers HAVE to overtake everything on the road and are as a result, always at the front... because they are all frustrated racing drivers... clearly we should always get out of their way bow to the wonder of teutonic engineering... until they're in the ditch...

philb Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 .......Its called the Bo--ng Theory,Pay compo on a crash,its cheaper than research and development.Come to think of it we never did hear why the last one crash landed at heathrow. This is the aaib Interim report (October 2008, I think). It makes fascinating reading - they certainly try hard to find the problems. If you could have arranged for your broken engine to fall out of the sky they would surely have found the cause of the seizure! (Well done for getting it going again) http://www.aaib.gov.uk/cms_resources/Interim%20Report%20-%20Boeing%20777-236ER,%20G-YMMM.pdf This is the first paragraph of the summary: The investigation has shown that the fuel flow to both engines was restricted; most probably due to ice within the fuel feed system. The ice is likely to have formed from water that occurred naturally in the fuel whilst the aircraft operated for a long period, with low fuel flows, in an unusually cold environment; although, G-YMMM was operated within the certified operational envelope at all times.

Tony B Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The only shop open in the Nugent shopping park, bettween me and Mark was Cotswold Outdoor. As the manger said to me 'Be bl**dy embarassing to be shut when we sell stuff that would keep you alive on Everest'. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Snowed in this morning! Went to feed the horses this morning and made it there but when went back to take some more water it was game over. Can't get up the village hill to get to the office so going out sledging with the Becketts Jnr's. Some pics from here - the horses were loving it! At home this morning And with the horses..

rosie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I work in a nursery school on the same site as the 2 cublets schools are, had a message at 7am to say youngest cublets school was closed, got to work at 8 to be told that eldest cublets school was closed, we then made the decision to close the nursey as well. Then the infants and juniors decided to close tomorrow as well due to adverse weather forcast tonight so we are all at home (except r-cubed of course) today and tomorrow. It was about 2 inches this morning and still snowing, we have since had a small thaw but it keeps tipping down with snow/sleet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowtracdave Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Keeps the press busy though! Well , at least it's stopped them from telling us we're all doomed , everybody is going to loose their jobs - except for them of course - and that the world is going to go bust any minute now . :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 And irrefutable evidence of global warming.............. :confused: Lets simplify. More warmth = more evaporation = more rain/snow. Worst case scenario = Greenlands ice melts, sea gets less salty, gulfstream stops, ice age (minus Mammoths). Guess we've all seen it on Discovery.
