Snow go

Right. Unless it snows anywhere other than flipping London (which means – everywhere south of the Angel of the North) the snow on the blog is now gone for the year.

Thanks to the two of you who noticed that I’d gone to the trouble of adding it.

I go to all this trouble for you lot… *mutter mutter*

    I saw it! Very retro :)

  • Echo UNITED STATES Internet Explorer Windows

    I miss the snow. *sniffle, sniffle*

    Will you put some new decorations up for spring ?

  • ‘Unless it snows anywhere other than flipping London (which means – everywhere south of the Angel of the North)’

    I keep reading this and can’t make sense of it. London IS south of the Angel of the North. And we’re north of it. And I’m pretty sure that’s contradictory.

    Anyway. I noticed! But you didn’t say anything about it so didn’t give anyone the reason to fight inertia and, errm, say something. Also, those who read in google reader may not have noticed….

  • jac – fank oo!

    Echo – I may do. There is another plug-in that lets me have things other than snowflakes drifting about but it doesn’t seem to work on all web browsers. I’ll look into it.

    Beth – Yeah, I could have worded it better. There are two schools of thought. Basically, to me, “the south” begins once you pass The Angel. However, to those doing the news, “Britain” seems to equal “London”.

    I noticed several national news headlines last week warning of upcoming snowfall and blizzard conditions… and not until you’d opened the story and gone to the second paragraph did you realise it only pertained to London and the surrounds.

    Basically, I’m sick of stories about the snow anyway and moreso when they’re telling me about chaos I’m not suffering because I live in Glasgow which is snow-free and has been for over a week.

  • Fair enough. But I don’t like that whole ‘south of the angel is the south’ thing. that makes me a *whispers* SOUTHERNER. and I AM NOT A SOUTHERNER. and i will fight* anyone who suggests otherwise.

    *if, by ‘fight’, you mean ‘wave my finger at you in a vaguely threatening way’.

  • I once had a stand-up row with a guy I worked with because I called him a southerner. He went mental.

    “I’m from Blackburn! I’m not southern!”

    “I’m from Gateshead. Further north. Therefore you’re a southerner.”

    He actually took it quite well.

  • And I’m from further south than blackburn :(

    you remind me of a bit in Good Omens (have you read it?). ‘…hated all southerners, and was by definition therefore standing at the North Pole.’

    :)

  • “Good Omens” was probably Pratchett’s best work, in my opinion. A shame they never got round to doing another.

  • Talia GERMANY Safari Mac OS

    I’m from the south! The proper south! The bit that’ the other side of the country from London! Now I just feel unloved!

  • I guess the Mockney lot class you as a “westerner”. And you are loved very much so don’t be silly. You’re just not as good as us northerners, but I like you enough to class you as an honorary one :)

    Loving the way your company intranet is obviously based in Germany. I’d complain about them forcing you to use Macs though. That’s cruel and unusual punishment in the workplace. Or is that your iPhone?

  • Talia GERMANY Safari Mac OS

    It’s my iPhone. I was amused about Germany too! Dunno what that’s about!

    Mostly, they take the piss out of the accent this side if the country! And I’d move up North in a second if I could!

  • Ah, I’ve seen that before. It’s how your info is routed. My Nokia does the same if I use Opera to post, if I recall correctly. Or it could have been the other browser I used.

    Well, West Country *is* a silly accent ;)

    And you’ll have to come up here to punch me for that!

  • It’s a damn sexy accent I’ll have you know! :-p

  • Depends who’s uttering said accent.

  • Would it be big headed if I said I’m sexy?! :-p

  • Very.

    But I’ll let you off if you send the photos to the usual address.
