Be Excellent To Each Other

So Mali has a coke-fuelled, binge fest button in his car?

That's some car, years ahead of its time. It even has a roundabout mode too.

The red Enter Hyperspace button at the top is what caught my attention!

Well, he is a mighty space pirate (retired).

I should hope you've had enough practice in the last year.

Yeah, he can't speak yet though.

I have upgraded my house with hundreds of LEDs!

My Christmas jumper arrived. MrsA not amused.

Hypothermia is no laughing matter.

That is a bad jumper in about seven different ways

The epitome of MaliCool (although I would always ensure you are wearing your flasher mac over it)

IT IS A BURBERRY

Make that eight.

He's talking about his flasher mac. Somehow when something is made by a famous designer it instantly means it's not a flasher mac anymore.

It's still a flasher mac

The only problem is that I ain't wearing it right now.

Because you're sat in a sink, right?

One person at least is fond of the jumper...

Fear my photoshop skillz

I didn't think that picture could get any worse. You proved me wrong

Brilliant!

Can you add a flasher mac to it?

It's not letting me enter my password.

Man, I should do this for a living

Perfect

Strangest definition of Brilliant I've seen yet.

Sounds like a challenge to me...

Christmas lights? This is on a house and you can look about. There's a banner up and a cancer charity tin, so I put a few quid in.

There was one like that in Bromsgrove but even more over the top. He gave it up this year, I think because of the traffic chaos it caused.

No snow here! Just unrelenting wind. Lost a fence panel and Burney Bin has disappeared.

We had about 5 minutes of moderate snow, then back to cold and wet. Not going to go to work on the motorbike tomorrow.

Is that another pseudonym for one of your spawn?

No, it's the bin I burn stuff in.

Not a single frickin' flake of snow here. Proper windy, mind

About half a quarter inch at most. It is still coming down. Left the AWD on the road, and the 2WD 6 feet beneath road level, again.

Same here

Yep. Windy

It's only really started here this morning.

You know if it's really windy if that's someone else's trampoline.

It very nearly was!

No snow but VERY windy last night!

My little boy really wants it to snow, he's never played in it.

We haven't had any snow sine January 2013 when we had a massive load of it (I was in Singapore for the full two weeks though). We had about an inch of snow last night, enough for the kids to play in, as they were desperate for a bit of snow. Also enough to cause me difficulties getting out of the village due to the lack of grit and the steepness.

Always assumed you'd be quite determined. Huh.

We had a bit of snow but it's 99% melted

heh.

Had some snow...it is now gone. This is a good thing.

Reasonably clear over the mountain this morning but conditions did worsen as I got closer to Douglas, then out of nowhere there was a wide strip of compacted icy snow right across the road on a bend, fortunately I wasn't going fast, and had already slowed down as my lights had picked out the whiteness on the road (it must have been a really bizarre effect of the wind as the road was clear of snow beforehand, it was all accumulated at the sides) - nonetheless the car did a proper sideways shunt and impressive looking icons appeared on the display which I think mean 'all my clever computer shit is saving your arse right now, fucker', and I guess the quattro probably helped too.

I got through OK but did think to myself, 'Someone is going to come properly unstuck on that'. True enough by the time I got to work and checked the IOM Police Twitter feed they had reported a car going off the road on that very bend. (No one hurt by all accounts.)

Crikey. That is a bit of a scare.

I did use ICE mode to get out of the drive this morning, and it went ok. I turned it off at the end of the road, as it was clear.

I hope you shouted "QUATTRO!" as you power slid round the corner.

Snow!
