of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and worst by far is emotional blackmail ... the diligent practise of this subtle and ancient art creates a constantly evolving darwinistic moral vacuum in which the brightest new manipulative ideas and stratagems flourish ... and which only you, or i, can fill !

i'm mandy, fly me
... a few months later, in April, mardecortesbaja showed this nice picture by stevan dohanos ...
i did, and as you can see, the snow was nearly nine inches deep in places ... despite the tall stories, we have seen worse
it took me twelve hours to reach my destination, gatwick airport, about 35 miles from central london,
having abandoned route one after three detours and finding the last hill irretrievably congested with abandoned vehicles, i reversed down the hill for a mile and then returned to town for a short sleep, and eventually managed a detour which added another thirty miles to the journey and gave me several moments of white-knuckle anxiety
the return journey back in to london only took two and a half hours during which time, despite the evidence of crashed and abandoned cars here there and everywhere, people still tried to overtake on a very bumpy surface of re-frozen slush

Did you take this photo on the day of the "big" snowstorm?
