Have to say that, although I normally love the snow, I agree that it can be unpleasant getting hit by snowballs unexpectedly - I got smashed in the eye with one last night at close range by a stranger - she was still holding it in her fist when it made contact, so hadn't been just lobbed gently towards me...she said she thought I was her friend. Had to point out that even if I had been her friend, it still wasn't a very nice thing to do! Eye is still sore now

Thank you for confirming the marauding gangs of oiks assaulting random passers-by with snowballs.
I guess you were just lucky really then.
No one marauded me going up the hill.
I'll happily chuck a snowball at you if you come a bit further up the hill quimmie
Only 2 and a half hours from Camberwell! Another nomination for post of the year. AJ's terror at walking past the fearsome Barrier Block is so funny you might think he's making it up. But as we all know by now, he's not. FFS shit-for-brains, it's not the fucking Somme. My 5'2" slim Swedish blonde flatmate has walked up and down that road to work from Brixton to Camberwell countless times, and has never had any hassle - not once. Numerous small female hospital staff make the same journey.
You really are a poltroon. Are you really so terrified? You work in IT don't you? So surely you can do the math? Haven't you worked out how much of the violence round here is teenager on teenager, or drug related? Adult whites like yourself are statistically much safer here than in thousands of other urban areas where white teenagers dish out random violence to grown-ups.
If you can't take the risk of walking around here you'd better give up buses too. There's a very good chance you'll be impaled on a bit of railway track. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...double-decker-overturns-during-rush-hour.html

It was a close shave alright. I was so shaken up by my encounter with ruffians that after I got home, I passed out whilst having my foot-bath. My housekeeper had to revive me with smelling-salts!

Gosh! I hope you reported the whippersnappers.

Well it is the last time I shall attempt to travel home by public carriage in such inclement conditions.

As well as the fact the areas have a reputation for being dangerous, I don't suppose the facts that
a) it was very cold,
b) the paths were incredibly slippery, and
c) there are long stretches of nowhere to shelter/take a break if you need to,
seemed to register with anyone.
If it had only been a short distance then yes we would probably have walked it, but as it was so long, we decided it was just easier to sit on the bus in comparative warmth, safety and comfort.
Not to mention, of course, that you know as well as I do that as soon as you get off a bus in a queue, the traffic starts moving again.

Read kanda's post.
I suspect ajdown was laying it on a bit as you haven't slagged him for a while.

That'll be this event Kanda is referring to.

That doesn't happen every time it snows though. That event was unpleasant but extraordinary.

Does anyone want to guess the cost of the (work paid) Christmas lunch for 5 Lambeth Council workers and guess the price of the most expensive bottle of wine they drank?
Do tell!
How do u know this?
One of my New Year's resolutions is to give it up. He only posts to get attention anyway - S&M by trolling.

If you're talking about the evening, my guess would be the snow that pretty much bought the south east to a grinding halt.
During the day? Not so sure.

If what I say bothers you so much, just put me on the ignore list and you won't have to read it any more - hopefully neither will I have to listen to your mindless blatherings either.
Christmas is a time for merriment and extending the hand of friendship to all of mankind. I'm happy to make an exception in your case.

I fully expect they had the best interests of the Lambeth taxpayer at heart, and chose only the cheapest things from the menu and stuck to half a bottle of blue nun...

Everything from Queenstown Road through Clapham, all the way up the Sth Circular, including Kings Avenue was gridlocked. I went to the shop just before 11pm and it was still the same on the Sth Circular.
Took me an hour and a half to drive from Clapham Common to Brixton. Didn't see any accident or lights problem.
