    Has anyone been out in the snow?
    The Ice was pretty bad this morning, a few cars sliding off the road & tomorrow is set to be worse!...

    Hehe - 1cm of the white stuff and chaos ensues :lol: I'll never understand that - maybe if you're not used to it or something?

    Do you actually get a discount if you have to push your taxi? :D

    Me and a bunch of friends were up Douglas head having snowball fights at 3:30 this morning when trollied. Sadly I slipped and smashed my skull on the concrete and now look like a Mike Tyson KO victim!!! Sexy...

    Loads of cars were having real trouble, it was crazy and all the taxi services stopped!

    Thanks! Shame the cam on the BB is so crap - the only thing that let's that device down :( and even worse: I remembered afterwards that I had the MiniDV with me in the bag - proper "Doh!" moment :) Ah, there'll be another day when taxis slide around and everything comes to a standstill....

    If I could now work out why the viewcount on that crappy little vid has suddenly jumped from 600 to over 2100 - weird. Reckon people send the link or something?

    haha sunday morning was rather interesting! got out of colours at 2:30 and everything was white, i had a tiny little dress on with no coat as i lost my ticket for the cloakroom and they wouldnt give me it back so nearly froze to death on the prom coz cudnt get home. Ended up staying at the empress as i was that desperate just to get somewhere warm. Funny night though.
    Maybe it's because i'm a Douglaser
    That i love Douglas so
    Maybe it's because i'm a Douglaser
    That i think of her wherever i go

    I get a funny feelin inside of me
    Just walkin up and down
    Maybe it's because i'm a Douglaser
    That I love Douglas town!
