Slightly OT - The weather

[Andy_Faber]

So I'm sitting here in Birmingham, one other person in the office, both of us Derbyshire dwellers and the locals have cried off due to the weather - one such lives on a road I drove past to get here, another living 6 miles away has announced he's working from home so his new 4X4 doesn't get damaged...

Anyhoo,it brought to mind some of the grim scenes I've encountered when following the Rams, especially this famous game from boxing day 1970, after which I and many others trudged miles home in the snow

I don't think games would be played in such conditions these days.

Not 'Soccer' games anyway.

Check this out from last evening, I almost got frostbite watching it, and bear in mind it was a four-hour game and there were 55,000 folk there. You might think Donald Trump is mad, this is madness on a different level

By the way, it was a good game...

Anyone else got any memories of following The Rams in adverse conditions? Three hours of cats and dogs rain in an open Holt End also comes to mind

Interesting Andy. So 10am Monday you have driven to Birmingham, yet at 9:30 pm UK time you were in Buffalo as the final overtime whistle went.

Thats devotion to duty - or you are superman.

We had about 6 inches of the stuff yesterday. Started again about 3 hours ago, somewhat powdery at forst but they are huge flakes again now and no sign of a let up.

Surely you could have put your heating on at home then, to avoid said frostbite? Or did you take your telly out into the garden to try to mirror conditions?

What channel was that game on - I watched a poor Oakland get beaten by Kansas City on Sky followed by an excellent win for The jaguars over Seattle?

I treated myself to an NFL gamepass

And,,,,,for the pedantic,,,,,the conditions at the game made me feel cold despite the comfortable ambient temperature in my drawing room. K?

My God you have so many drawing rooms that you give them each a letter?
