Bit of editing needed there!!

xxxxx I think I'm losing my mind!!!

I poured sugar in the bin at a coffee shop at the weekend instead of the cup!

I don't think anyone it, all they saw was a bloke laughing manically as he hurried out the shop.

a couple of piccies of Fernie, Canada .. where at this exact moment the infamous Fluffy West aka Pieman is ripping powder .. the fleshing , fleshidy flesher :(

but hey never mind .. we had apprx 1.5mm of snow three days ago .. bearing in mind that it had to be measured before it hit the ground and dissapeared into the fleshing rain water :evil:

Big stokey stoke to all those that are fortunate enough to be hitting the powder somewhere, anywhere .. or even have a decent dry slope they can use!

..not surprisingly our local dry-slope ski centre has closed forever and has since been burnt to the ground by the local chapter of the "South West Chavlings" ... :yearght: 's

England sounds just like where I live, as soon as it snows, its gone, melts, then it rains, now its just freakin miserable 33 degree rain.

And then the next morning it all turns back into ice. Then a bunch of people crash. If they didn't initially crash in the "white out" conditions a.k.a. flurries

I think Mr Harmer might have enjoyed himself this week judging from the increasingly excited texts and the odd high pitched (almost hysterically happy) phone call. 2 ft of fresh powder last night apparently.
