Woke up this morning to a heavy falling of snow everywhere.  Doubt I will be driving anywhere today as I live in the boonies and the roads will be a nightmare.

Snow Day woot!

You just beat me to this thread Robert.  Damn you.   ;D

Southampton is blizzard like.  Last night was a covering of chips at the virtual felt, and this morning is snow covered.

No work for me today (which has actually been the case for the past month  ;D )

So, poker it is.


Good luck all.

Well my day so far includes a decent cup of tea.  Just cooking up some hot sausage sandwiches, before another cup of tea.  Then I"ll be ready I think.

Also gonna enjoy the day with SkySports News on desperation deadline day.

Got to love it.   ;D

One new PC to install, one visit to Spar for a PaySafeCard so I can load up my Stars acc, then I hope to hit the $33 afternoon game that Leigh's been dominating recently.

Snow / Day Poker FTW.

I had the today booked off anyway, due to watching that silly game over the pond last night  :D

Very disappointed to wake up to just 2 inches of snow. When I was a lad, we got real snow in the pennines, not this poxy stuff.

Just checked the weather forecast, more prolonged, heavier falls of the white stuff tonight, wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii  ;D

Get into work about 1/2 hour late to be asked why i didn"t apologise for being late  ???. My boss knows i have to travel a load of b class roads etc.

At the same time an e-mail goes around from London telling everyone not to take risks and stay at home if they are affected by the weather.

Well that is me motivated for another week in the death star  >:(

This is a little frustating. I"ve managed to secure day release from County Hall and have been asked to man the council information desk in one of Norfolk"s libraries. Therein lies my frustration. The library in question is in Wroxham which in summer is the hub of the Norfolk boating holiday industry and becomes choked with visitors. From October onwards when the boat fleets reside in their winter quarters, Wroxham, in common with great swathes of Norfolk, reverts to being a quiet country town with a high proportion of retired residents. As the paths are white in all directions and the snow is still falling, few people are venturing out.
  Norfolk County Council has a policy of not allowing internet access for anything not related to work, so strictly speaking, I"m being a very bad boy by typing this. I would love to be able to fire-up a couple of cash tables to pass the time, but I suspect I would not be employed much longer if I used a council PC to play poker on. I"m here until 5.30pm and I can"t see much happening in that time. AAAAARRggghhhhhh

Just like to run you through my snow day. Left home in a blizzard, destination Leeds Bradford airport, got there to be told by the Car park bus driver that nothing would be leaving today. Got into the terminal to find that my flight was checking in, great news! Got to the front of the queue, and extracted my passport from my inside pocket, opened it up to give to the check in girl, to see my 15 year old son staring back up at me!! Doh.
Flight re scheduled from Manchester at 2 oclock, set off back home to pick up my passport, and then high tailed it towards Manchester in a blizzard. Parked up in the long stay, and received a call to say that I hadn"t managed to get on the 2 oclock, but had been booked on for the 7.30pm.
Okay, so set up base in the Radisson lobby, and played a bit of cash on BSQ ( and was winning) when they cut off my wi fi >:(.
At this point I spotted they had a gym, so had a great 2 hour workout, my winnings paid for the gym usage.
Time to check in now, no probs, through to departure, played another hour of cash ( won again, against a really obnoxiuos guy, why are people like that?). Then with 5 minutes to boarding, the flight got put back another hour. After a further half hour wait, you"ve guessed it, Flight Cancelled, Dublin is snow bound! :"(
So after another half hour re collecting my baggage, I set off home at 9.30pm in a chuffin blizzard!!
