It's a great insulator so will probably be warmer than leaving the tent
exposed.

And it's still snowing.

 

.... and there we have the problem with iPhones(and their owners), in a
nutshell.

Anyone else would have referred to their 'phone, as "the phone", but
not your iPhone user, oh no.

They're "special", and everyone needs to know about it.

 

That's true, actually. It's like cars: ask someone who drives a
Mondeo, and they'll always say 'Mondeo' not 'Ford'. Ask a BMW 320
driver what he drives and he'll say: 'BMW'. Same goes for Mercs and
other prestige products

The owners, or the phones?

 

It'll be interesting to see if they make it back given Sweller is
hobnobbing with Ken Livingstone, government ministers and others at
the Progressive London conference on Saturday. Oh and he's chairing
the transport debate - I'm almost tempted to go.

 

When I crossed the Hardangervidda in 1978 on the old road while snow was
still laying, I was instructed to look for the big tubes[1] that come
out of one mountain and go in to the next. They have doors in the side
of them so that when (not if) you get stuck and you are miles from help
you can get access to the new road and phone for help.

I didn't get stuck (Bog paper blue XJ6 with chains for dodgy bits) which
is just a s well as I didn't see any 'tubes with doors in". They may
have been under the drifts.

[1] The new road is enclosed between tunnels in the mountains with tubes
of concrete.

 

In communiqué

Heh, except that if I was to just say I drive a 'Six' I would probably
get blank stares - unlike 'MX5' naturally.

He may be a few minutes late!

Aha so that's what Cunts do after the electorate rumble them and kick them
out on their ear.

Sounds like something Lord Boris should stamp down on.

 

Except for the anal ones that refer to them as E-something-or-other.

 

But ask a 330 (or quicker) owner and they'll more than likely give you
the model number.

 

Latest from Bonwick, at 1421 our time: "Steve and Simon currently 40
miles away and going for it. Heroes."

 

Thank you Lord etc.

 

And they've made it.

 

and now everyone has turned up. sweller abandoned his bike a couple of
miles away (like Platy) but they managed to get his stuff on the
outfit and both have gone to Mordor (the bar).

Fire going strong and all well.

return via Prague cancelled. sensible decision me thinks.

He says they're having to dig the tents out every hour. It's still
snowing.
