moomin Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Almost as much as I hate people who clear their car by leaving it running on their drive for 20 minutes - in particular the worlds noisiest diesel which lives just outside my bedroom window, inconsiderate t*sser.

Boonie Hound Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Maybe they like the 'turn your car into a tank' driving experience - where you clear only a small slot to see through and swerve about as if it doesn't matter if you hit something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hello Boonie. I don't believe I have said hello before now. But I know your bigger brother, who sometimes turns up here to give you your dinner money. You should come out to play with the rest of us sometime soon, you can get a ride in some of our pedal karts - mine is a pushbike pedal kart. Oh and thankfully the eagle hasn't landed, so the evil camera that flashed me was obviously just pretending... I understand you know a bit about photography. Looks like I got away with this time, I'm a lucky boy me thinks. Moom www.megabird.co.uk Edited by - moomin on 9 Dec 2002 09:40:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 How will these people cope with the snow that has been forecast for Wednesday? Snow - woo hoo 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave hard Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Frost 🤔 Snow 🤔 Southport today was fresh but not a hint of ice to be seen Nice and sunny now, and here's me stuck indoors, without a pedal cart either ☹️ Mind you last Friday I found something slippy on the way to work. Not sure if it was ice, mud or road kill due to the dark but the back end of the Focus went all sideways 😬 Caterham 21 VHPD - one of the few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Well I believe the forecast said that the chance of it snowing was greatest in the North (obviously) but there is a good chance that the South will also get snow 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Do you think if we all do a snow-dance at lunch time it might help? 😬 Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hi ya moomin, Ah - you must have one of those pedal karts with a peg attached to the spokes so they make a bigger noise. I'd love to have a ride in it - thanks for the offer. Moi bruvver looks after moi dinner money cos moi mum finks I'll spend it on a pedal kart of moi own. Glad to hear the eagle hasn't landed - as we say in camera circles watch the birdie - or is that golf Talking photos just a brief word of warning to all those in Cam country. The cameras are also out and about in the back of bright yellow transit vans - see Cambs local press for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave hard Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 dunno about that, but it might entertain our co-irkers what sort of props are required for this dance 🤔 Caterham 21 VHPD - one of the few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I think that you need something white, so that the Snow God is aware the appeal is being made to him and not the Sun God...then you just have to dance round it in an appropriate way. Maybe including some movements that look like sleighing, or snowball fighting or similar. I propose that we all go outside at 12.25 for a prompt 12.30 start. Anyone who wishes to join in please let me know. 😬 Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I think there is also a White transit van that was lurking in a layby in the Cambs area - on the A14 last week...a mainly white van, with police written on the drivers door only!

scooby dooby doo Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 pedal karting in the snow is fairly entertaining. its better in my pedal kart than my pedal kart with a roof cos you can tell when its about to lose grip and do something about it more easily.... wet track days are good for pedal karting as well HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 pedal karting in the snow in my previous pedal kart wasn't a great deal of fun. I could tell when it was going to lose grip alright... just before I got in the damn thing! it was funny when I got to the petrol station and the snow had melted in the radiator though 😬 www.megabird.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I am told by the weather prophets that snow is indeed forecast in Cam Country soon - I know I'll never make a weather forecaster but that's as close as I can get until I get more up to date info. Would the bike sheds like to know when and if it's going to be icy/ snowy/ gritters going out? I can only do this for Cam and if I remember/ have time. Rachael - all the Cambs safety/ speed camera vans are yellow with big logos on the side and reflective stuff on the back. The white one you saw would probably have been a police van - not sure what they would be doing but might not be speed checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morls Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I'm off on a school trip to Glasgow tomorrow (obviously on the back seat of the bus). Who want's some snow bringing back Mark ☹️ My Caterham Silver Jubilee No. 7 is for sale ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Thanks Boonie, It was definitely a police van and they were certainly up to something, but they were on the other carriageway, so I couldn't really see what. Oh well... It would be great if you could tell us when they are going to be gritting - if it is not too much trouble. I know they gritted last night, because I went out soon after and had absolutely no grip at all - it was really rather scary Did anyone else do a snow dance, or was I the only one getting strange looks in the car park 😳 😬 Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaseb Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 So there I was (picture the scene) dancin me pants off in the car park at lunchtime wearing a borrowed white lab coat - didn't see you lot anywhere tho ☹️ How can you have any snow if you don't do any dancin? And if I do say so myself I looked pretty damned funky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
