Then maybe the FBI agents spying on you and listening in on your calls?

rant: 20 years ago this post could pass as a joke.
 
Why did you have to post that just as I am listening to Judas Priest?
 
Stupid rainy week is ruining the snow! Skiing conditions will be wrecked if we don't get a decent blanket of snow before spring starts to creep up on us.
 
I'm sure Austria has plenty of ski venues open right now. :p
 
For the longest time I read that as Australia and was well confused over what you were on about.
 
Spring? What spring? Its not even autumn yet.
 
Hey, that's what the weather thread is for!

I got stuck in the snow in the country this weekend. And nearly killed my mom.

We went to the country house to check how it made it through the winter, and it appeared that no-one drove in out street since autumn, and no-one cleared the snow from it. So, although the winter was not very snowy and the temperature was positive for a few weeks before, quite some snow (maybe 20cm thick on average) remained in the street to make is questionably possible to drive up to the house.

I thought that where there is a question, there should be an answer. So I decided to try and find out if it was possible or not after all. It appeared to be barely possible as I made it half the way, like 15 or 20 meters, but as it made no sense to keep ramming the snow piles I left the car right there.

Later that day, as we were done with our inspection and decided to return to the city, I started reversing back out of the street. I nearly made it out when my mom who went ahead decided it was the perfect moment to cross the street (which makes it rant) to get a better look, making me hit the brakes which belly-landed the car in the snow.

Next half an hour I was having fun with a shovel, a screw jack and some planks.

*sigh* I guess old ladies and off-road fun just don't mix up well.

We have a weather thread?
 
Apparently it's not only the weather in Bulgaria which is unwelcoming.


Link to video.

Still, Bulgaria is in the front-line of the refugee crisis. It's easy enough to be critical from a position of relative safety behind the English channel.
 
Yeah, all those people on the Continent are cut off by the channel.
 
Just had been sick last week for like 5 days, thought I made it through, and now my throat is killing me. And additional neck pain. I hope it's nothing serious (but the internet decides to indicate it's something between tonsilitis and meningitis; no, no cancer), and that I can go dancing tomorrow and go to my mother's birthday next weekend.
Already too bad that I'll be missing the comedy club today :mad:.
 
Yeah, I know, I checked.
Will need to see how it feels tomorrow, and how the throat looks like. Last time I had this terrible feeling (feels more like infection deeper in the tissue, and not on the surface), it was gone after a day, but somehow I don't believe it this time.

Is a bit ironic that the department of microbiology is currently an infection herd (too many sick people)...lol...or so.
