The one thing I genuine hate about living here.

My nephews and neices out in Oz have never seen snow.

BTW it was 44 degrees in Toowoomba today I believe and getting hotter...

Our drummer played cricket in Toowoomba last year. Rained for the first month he got there!

Great place. Does rain a bit. The flash flood was fucking mental last year (January 2011). Made a right mess, that did.

Why does snow cause chaos in Britain? It cannot be because we have never seen it before.

Because the people that run the country are incompetent fools.

Bloody Morgan and Moxey again?

James' finest hour. I could even buy a The Carpenters album to celebrate that post

Why would you change the infrastructure for 1 or 2 weeks a year, it doesn't make financial sense to anything different.

Not arguing with that, but it has been the same as long as I can remember. Surely every government hasn't been run by incompetent fools.......amended, you are totally correct...

Exactly, we dont get snow often enough to put any real money towards dealing with it so then we're always going to be stretched for resources when it does actually happen, still better than spunking millions up the wall on a bunch of equipment that could potentially be half way obsolete before it ever gets used.

For what it's worth, I think the reason we fuck it up every time it snows is we never plan or think about the problem in anything but a small town half arsed way. and when it snows the next year, we learn nothing and fuck it up all over again.
Every year you hear the same people in authority coming out with the same shite reasons/excuses they got it wrong as though it was the first time it'd happened!

They're so surprised...

Pisses me right off.

And whilst I'm at it, snow is lovely, I love looking at it, but really it only belongs on Christmas cards.
It's a pain in the arse, because of all the above.

In Ireland last year all the motorways were clear, but they never gritted the slip roads, they were full of snow or iced up to fuck, so no one could get on or off the fucking things.

Pain in the arse.

Nope. Hardly any, believe it or not.

Water on three sides and all that malarkey

Im off to Stockholm next weekend, they seem to deal with ice / snow effectively

I've got cousins in Toowoomba. Hoping to go and see them in the next few years.

That is plain stupid Wolf Hunting. What could mildly make them think "oh lets clear the motorways but not the slip roads". Are they really that stupid?

Great place. When you go, the best pub is the Spotted Cow on Ruthven Street, and the best eatery is Picnic Point.
