Snow? What snow?..

mszee · 04 Dec 2008, 13:57

CLAIRE!!!

I LOVE it!!! Can I come over??? I have time to kill before New Year's...LOL...

British are strange...they call rocks pebbles...hmmm...

mszee · 04 Dec 2008, 13:57

OK...Can somebody PLEASE define YOUR COLD...what is the temperature when it's YOUR cold???

mszee · 04 Dec 2008, 13:58

Betty, I think it's so much better to be infamous than famous...it's not even funny...

mszee · 04 Dec 2008, 14:06

OK, so FOX finally outdone themselves with a new show...it's a stupid premise about multi-millionaires living among struggling folks for a week and then awarding them part of their money to help out...

First there was this lawyer with his son which has private planes, yachts, whatever...you name it...mind yourself...he specilizes in foreclosures and is VERY happy that business is BOOMING now...

So...he is put together pretending to make some documentary with a person that has a bad back and up to her ears in debt for back surgery, losing house and everything in the process...secondly, it's a woman on Social Security who made a shelter out of her house and houses and feeds homeless women and children on her social security pension. The last one is a child with bone cancer - multiple tumors where parents don't have medical insurance and had to leave their work temporarily to take care of the child...community is pulling money together to help them with their mounting bills they are unable to pay...

SO...you'd think the lawyer absolutely will award good money to all three candidates? Surely they deserve it???

But, of course...remember all those yachts and private planes? Why wouldn't he share his wealth...so...the first woman gets $25000, and the other two get $50000 each...

Why don't some people rot in hell DURING their lifetime too???

Disgusting...

Needless to say I've watched this first and last time...

Sorry, we beat you to it with that show.
Can't give any details as i've never watched the bloody thing

mszee · 04 Dec 2008, 14:35

Well, I wanted to see something heartwarming for Christmas...instead I was jumping up and down like a Rumplestilskin during the entire thing...argh...

The Secret Millionaire. Cheap pants TV at it's very best.

As for cold ... depends on who you talk to for some it's anything less than 40 degrees C, for others it's a lower limit than that.

I found it to be much worse than cheap TV...they show these heart breaking stories and these people who have everything and then they give pittance...I don't know if these are real people or reality TV stars that are giving away, in fact, network money...BUT...it's still disgusting any which way...

Andy, that's is EXACTLY what I am asking...for British winter...what is considered cold? I'll give you an example of how people perceive weather. When I was once in Seattle in the summer...they were having a very hot summer by their standards...SO...they were sweating bullets in sundresses...I was wearing sweater and my teeth were chattering...

So, I guess my question is...what temperature you would consider unusually cold for England which you had lately...

SamCat · 04 Dec 2008, 16:19

Its about 8 degrees C in London atm but it'll be colder up north cos its always warmer in London!!

Here's a couple of weather sites for you

Thanks...well, London what I am particularly interested in...LOL...we are not used to walking...but walking in the cold on ice...that is something we're REALLY not used to...LOL

*AndyK* · 04 Dec 2008, 16:29

The cold snap we've had this week, was around -5 C in the morning and not getting much above 0 during the day.

It's not unusual for that to happen two of three times over the winter anywhere in the UK (with the usual caveat that it gets colder the further north you go!)

Anything colder than that would I think be considered more unusal. As Emma says it's warmer in London because they're all soft down south.

mszee · 04 Dec 2008, 16:37

Thank you, Andy.

I will skip the comment about anybody being soft...cause while working in NYC for many years I know how large cities are warmer than anywhere else...

Betty · 04 Dec 2008, 17:02

to define my cold: I´ve got temperature of 38.5°C
outside: approx 2 °C

Veeeery bad timing for having a cold!!
Tomorrows xmas do will be fuuuuuuuunnnnnn!!!

Probably already drunk after the bus tour to Bremen lol

**allrevvedup** · 04 Dec 2008, 18:46

found this in an article about Phil Brown and Hull City in The Times

Quote:

On Humberside, where Saturday night still means the working men’s club rather than X Factor, a Meat Loaf tribute band called Bat Out Of Hull are packing them in, though there’s no danger of the football team’s success being gone when the morning comes
