More like you English need to man up and get on with it. It's not natural for your country to come to a complete stop with just a tiny bit of snow. If it was a lot of snow, sure, you're not used to it. But for things to go mental from the amount I've seen you have at the moment is just silly even if I'm a Norwegian and used to snow or not.

year after year ? it's usually very isolated. we do have some preperation but for what we normally get. what happens though is that the powers that be are also concerned about the 40,000 plus and there making there way to the ground. on second thoughts whose job is it to do it ? or more to the point who pays ? It's either the government or the private sector. I don't know how you guys have decided to handle this yonks ago.

You really don't need much to be prepared for some snow, it's not like you'd need to employ tons of people specifically for the off chance there might be snowy weather. You just need to teach a few of your already employed road workers how to deal with snowy conditions, and obviously stock enough gritters. It's also rather obvious that having some kind of preparation for this would save money compared to what you have to do when you year after year go all "wtf? snow? lol". It's a shit excuse.

Yes it can. You guys just really, really suck at doing it. Well we usually don't get much of this bad weather. Therefore we plan for the average. If we got really bad weather a lot of the time then more emphasis would be put on it. If each local council had 50 gritters and 100 men employed on standby throughout the winter, then we had 4 or 5 mild winters in a row I can imagine the newspaper stories about spendthrift council mandarins wasting money having uneccesary men and trucks on standby! Featuring the second jobs of the gritter drivers and how they sleep all night etc etc!! They'd not need to be employed just for something like that, you just need to teach a few road workers how to do shit when it's snowy and then just pay them extra when they need to be called out during conditions like you have now. You don't need to have people employed only to do one task, just teach the ones you have employed how to do a task they may or may not have to do a few times a year.

Yes it can. You guys just really, really suck at doing it.

My mum was one goal away from £50k. My mum. My mum. I don't think I've been this embarrassed (that she thoroughly beat me betting wise) and angry (that she didn't actually get £50k due to one fucking Wolves goal in the 89th minute) at the same time.

I fucking hate Wolves.

So, my mum, who has no idea about anything football related in general just won £500 on a thing we have in Norway where you bet on 12 games on a coupon she delivered on a whim. Only a draw in the Wolves v Sunderland match away from £50k

The keyboard died a little. I actually feel pretty damn bad for you. It honestly felt like my world fell apart there, so close. SO CLOSE MAN!

Who'd have thought Bolton - Blackpool would once end up being such an entertaining match?

The keyboard died a little.

Bolton fucks me out of 1k. Yay.

Same here.

£35 on Blackpool and West Brom @ 34.50.

Don't worry guys, the results will not stay like this as that would mean I'd win something. Nailed on draws. http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/7209/lolzaroo.png

Better a queer with gloves playing in snow than a queer not playing at all.

Real men.

Racist. "That linesman is the blackest person I've ever seen. He looked like charcoal." See? Fuck outta here. Nothing wrong with what you said. There are loads of black people that are dark as hell. Some of them disappear when they put on sunglasses. :lol:

That's exactly the problem. Because we rarely get said snow, it's treated like a nationwide crisis. Fuck, down south we're even worse. At least you get a few inches of snow. Down here, we've got icy roads and schools and businesses get fucking shut, it's unreal. It's still pathetic, because it's not that hard to have some sort of preparation for the times you do get snow, given how you don't get a lot of snow when you first get it. It doesn't cost that much to have a few trucks at the ready to salt the main roads and shit like that. It shouldn't have to be a nationwide crisis. Just last year your government had some fuckers over here to be taught shit by our government on how to deal with snow. Did you learn absolutely nothing?

Racist. "That linesman is the blackest person I've ever seen. He looked like charcoal." See?

I will be so fucking pissed if they cancel this match. It's just nonsense how the UKs infrastructure apparently can't handle any snow. You guys don't have a lot of snow, you don't know what "a lot of snow" even mean.

fyp Says the Lakers "fan". Yes, yes he does. What else did he tell you? That I have a massive dong. Which is not true, it's pretty average.

Arseshavin'? Yeah. I still can't believe he was almost ours once upon a time.
