they're not really my genre of choice, but they're listenable.

assuming you mean the band, that is.

I've almost forgotten what snow is. Whatever happened to snowy British summers, eh? EH?

Bloody heat ray. I scorched when I went to Cornwall this summer. That's wrong.

Oh yes. Of course. Bastard Martians, they just had to ruin it all. I'll wager they're in league with the tourist board.

Well to be honest us Brits have decided to ditch the archaic four seasons setup and have adopted a more streamlined arrangement of alternating searing heat and blistering cold. Something to do with joining the single currency, we're told...

The worst bit about the British is to hear us complain it's too hot all summer and then walk around complaining about how cold it is in the Winter, it's practically a tradition ;) And yes, Seasons got abolished, or sold off to a private company or somethings :)

Flipside :D

It's all the Torys' fault. What with all that privatisation of the railways and industries, they did the same to the weather. Bastards.

And yes, complainging about the weather is indeed a tradition. back in June/July when we had that heatwave I spent many an hour venting about it, now we've got sub-zero temperatures, I still spend many an hour venting about it.
Hell, it keeps me off street corners.

I want it to snow, then I want to go sledding. Last time I went, I used an old sattelite dish, which was suprisingly dissapointing. I found a rubber boiler suit is absolutely the best as you don't need anything to sit on, just throw yourself down the nearest hill and pray.

You know those red kiddie see-saw things? Made by LittleTykes or whoever? I once went down a hill on a golf course on one of those, and fell into the stream at the bottom. I was numb for some time.

Here's the sort of thing I mean, save this was an older model and didn't have the steam train greebles.

Glossop. Oh dear god. I have painful memories of that town.

You know, my bus used to go up the street that appeared in the titles to "The League of Gentlemen".

We've got a large metal sign on our mantle piece saying 'Royston Vasey'. We stole it from a building site one night. The odd thing was that it had previously been in a house some friends of ours moved in to, having presumably been stolen from somewhere else by the previous occupants. We reason that it must be part of some all-emcompassing cirlce of studently theft :nod:

Well, for one, there's nowhere to eat! There's not even a basic chippy!

They are pretty ok, catchy tunes but I don't really like the singers voice plus the two brothers (think their lastname is Ă…lund) are so f*****g annoying.

I've been here all the time (well not all the time :)) lurking in the shadows. Even though I don't follow everything that happens in the FS world I still like to visit this place every now and then and browse through the forums.
