madras Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The entire United Kingdom is 'generally unprepared for any amounts of snow/ice'. Proof? Some Norwegian news articles. What a f***ing ridiculous argument. I can't be arsed any more, sorry. probably the biggest lie ever posted on this forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I can find UK news articles as well no problem. You want me to go fetch? It's no use discussing something when what you are doing is nothing but trying to ridicule the opposition, it's an unfair tactic. I'm at least basing my side on incidents reported in news reports even outside the UK. We'd not bother about your weather if it wasn't big-ish/amusing, and we do see it pretty much once or twice a year. It's not at all an unfair assumption to say your country is unprepared for snowy or icy conditions based on this. Obviously incidents are localised, but they're still incidents all the same. Incidents that costs more money than it should for the UK economy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that certain small changes could do your country a whole lot of good. Nothing major, just something as small as training people in other sections or road maintenance for gritting duty and potentially having a few more gritters in stock. It'd make a world of difference if the snowfall comes whilst being inexpensive. It's all I've been arguing for all night, I don't see what's wrong enough with the suggestion to keep up a counter argument tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, you only plan for what you think will happen given history, and now it's happened the last two years. Will you prepare for a potential third year? I don't think you will even give it a thought and just go "wtf? snow? lol" next year as well (if it happens), which is what annoys me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again. My point is that taken into the account the money lost these two years compared to what it would cost (granted on assumption based on the Cumbria annual budget) to have preparation it would be better economically and infrastructure-wise to be better prepared for the unlikely should it happen again, which, looking to history, it eventually will even if the next few years are snow free.

Alberto2005 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Have an image of Kaizero's house on the day the snow settles, the roads and everyones houses covered with snow but Kaizero's lawn greener than green and not a patch of snow in sight. He then goes inside pleased with his snow clearence work and goes back upstairs as the snow has stopped. He then looks out of the window with a smile on his face until he sees the snow has returned, he runs downstairs as fast as possible, flings open the front door and dives as if the snowdrop was a corkey ball and clutches it in his hand.

Sifu Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 This is the shittest pre-match discussion ever I dunno why, but I just fancy Kluivert to score tomorrow.
