Ugh....don't fair I do wish it would snow here....Rob this is a random question, but do you enjoy pub quizzes, does it brake the normal disco up..or is it just extra cash?:)

[Daryll]

Hampshire/Sussex border

[Tom]

No snow my end an I hope it don't come for a while. I want to take my dog for walks in the morning but if its too cold then I would rather stay in bed. lol

Hi Charlie,

I absolutely LOVE the pub quizzes!

They are only a couple of hours, only take about 5 minutes to set up (as they require hardly any gear), I normally have several drinks lined up which people have bought for me & spend much of my time going round & chatting to people.

Therefore, I'm basically socializing with people in a pub...but getting paid for it!

I can't think of any better way to spend my weekday evenings!

:D

:) Ahh brilliant....I suppose it is quite fun....especially if they are all regulars and you have established yourself....I just know the guy who does our quizzes at our local, is a right boring old fart. Who always looks half dead.

I can tell you have a quite a bubbly character, so I guess you are not only the quiz master but some form of entertainment for the punters. Rob’s doing the quiz, so it’s going to be a good night-kind of thing?

[rob1963]

I've heard this a lot of times before.

I try to be bubbly, crack a few gags & have a bit of fun with them.


so I guess you are not only the quiz master but some form of entertainment for the punters. Rob’s doing the quiz, so it’s going to be a good night-kind of thing?

I hope that's the case!

There are two aspects...the contents of the quiz & the presenter, and in an ideal world they will both be entertaining. I think I have the right kind of personality for it, as I'm chatty, friendly & have a good sense of humour.

If people didn't like me, they wouldn't come back each week, buy me drinks, give me some of their prize money when they win or buy me pressies or cards...all of which happen on a regular basis.

I've managed to keep one of my quizzes going for nearly six years now, and I've had a couple of the same teams coming along pretty much every week since I started, so I must be doing something right.

It also helps the discos, at I probably pick up about 5 or 6 bookings each year from people I know through my quiz nights.

:)

Edit: Apologies to Gary & the mods for going off topic, but I was just answering a couple of points Charlie asked me about.

[Corabar Steve]

:ontopic:

They've just said on GMTV that it's actually colder in SE England than Siberia at the moment.

First time we've had snow in October for over 70 years.

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

No sign of snow down here.

Don't want it either. Nothing worse than driving in snow and ice.

[Corabar Steve]

Good, I'm in Tiverton on Saturday!

[soundtracker]

Blue skies and sunshine here!

[Corabar Steve]

Blue Skies & sunshine here too, just white ground.

[DJmissbehaving]

No snow here yet....it is VERY chillly though. Its supposed to rain today so just the usual for us then......weve not even had a summer this year.

[soundtracker]

Blue Skies & sunshine here too, just white ground.

Slightly white ground due to frost - but mainly melted now!:)

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

[Penfold42]

[Corabar Steve]

We started off with rain at about 4, then a thunderstorm at 8ish, then the snow started around 9:30 - 10

[DJmissbehaving]

Today weve had very heavy rain and hail stones.....dont think the snow is too far away as it feels about -4 today...

[nigelwright7557]

[Daryll]

Heavy rain this morning, just cold and windy now.

daryll

[BeerFunk]

A very harsh coldd front the last couple of days, which seems to have subsided. I was still out and about at 4:30 this morning (shopping at Tescos :D), and it was severely cold - I was glad to jump back into the car. It doesn't help that it's been consistently mild all year!

[Jiggles]

Well i woke up by a loud thump at my window. Opened the blinds to find my dad throwing a snowball at my window! Yes it snowed all night.

[Vectis]

We had a sprinkle of snow around 6:30am (apparently :D ) but it's been a clear blue day today with temps around 9 degrees. A lovely day for top-down drive (with a wooly hat on of course).

[Tom]

We also had a light sprinkle too. The dog was out side trying to eat it. Was funny to watch, from inside the house. lol

[Corabar Steve]

Settled snow at 8am, by 11 it was raining & felt colder than when the snow was on the ground. I went back to bed until I warmed up (1pm approx)

[One Vision]

Just wet and windy down here, a little cold but nothing major.

[nigelwright7557]

Just cold in Cumbria.

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

We had a strange 10mins down here.

Was driving back last night and had a very heavy down pour of hail which turned to snow, then to rain and is still bitterly cold but thats the nearest we've had to snow this year.

[theoloyla]

This morning it is cold, very wet and very windy.

[Corabar Steve]

Brilliant sunshine here, but it's bloody cold!

[ross@rds]

Very cold on saturday night in glasgow with snow during the night never settled but still very cold on sunday not sure how it is today been in bed all day ill.

[DJmissbehaving]

[Corabar Steve]

Let it go Theo, let it go. :sj:

[theoloyla]

Why? I'm english and therefore preoccupied with the weather.

We had a hard frost last night and despite being sunny today it has remained cold.

[Corabar Steve]

It would do, it's something to do with the time of year :sj:

[soundtracker]

Just started snowing here!

[Excalibur]

Showers only as yet here. Been like that all day. They're forecasting a mini Ice Age as far as I can see, so that probably means total standstill tomorrow. :( :(

[djsteve10]

Same here at the moment. Just wish it would get on with it and snow!

[Penfold42]

It's snowing here.....and lots of ice to.

I'm off to light a fire. :)

[rob1963]

The snow was pouring down tonight during & after my quiz in Isleworth.

Just got home & had the biggest problem trying to get my van in the garage in the 19 years I've lived here.

I thought it would be ok, as the snow was fresh, but unfortunately my garage is on a bit of a slope & the van kept going to the left & then the wheels started spinning.

I was close to giving up & parking way up the road, but eventually got it in, although it wasn't easy.

Dam snow! :bang:

[nigelwright7557]

Its been snowing in Carlisle too.

There is about 5 inches on my car.

[Excalibur]

Lots of it now. We need a Snowman smiley. :D

[DJWilson]

:@ All the schools in Sittingbourne are shut but my school isnt :(

[DJmissbehaving]

Snowing here aswell....ahhhhhhhhhh i love it when you wake up and everything is white.

[DJWilson]

UPDATE: Yay no school :D

[discomobiledj]

Every bloody train service cancelled except for my girlfriends.......

[Corabar Steve]

It's settled here since about 6pm yesterday, we currently have blizzard conditions & about 7 inches on the ground.

[Jiggles]

I can still see the grass. :(:(:( unfair, really unfair.

[soundtracker]

Well I was first to mention that it had started snowing, and so far we've accumulated about an inch! Pathetic!

[DJWilson]

If bbc did there job ill still be in bed! http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/features/news/school_closures.shtml still havent updated sheerness

[soundtracker]

Perhaps no-ones told them?:confused:

[Corabar Steve]

Well I was first to mention that it had started snowing, and so far we've accumulated about an inch! Pathetic!

In fairness to you I'd not been on since about 11:30 yesterday, it started snowing here at around midday & snowed periodically for the rest of the day. Doesn't seem to have stopped since about midnight judging by how much we've got now compared to when I went to bed.

[discomobiledj]

My garden this morning!

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

Still no snow this end.

Had a very brief shower but thats gone:) .

[rob1963]

We've had about 6 inches here.

I live at the end of a cul de sac, and the only vehicle to make it up the road so far this morning was a 4x4, and even them it took him 20 minutes digging himself out with a shovel & having someone giving him a push.

My van won't be going anywhere today, so I've decided tonight's quiz is cancelled.

[Corabar Steve]

My garden 10 mins ago

[Corabar Steve]

Can you willy wave with snow?



I might go out & build a snowman later http://planetsmilies.net/xmas-smiley-4591.gif (http://planetsmilies.net)

Same here on a slope, Cannot get my car out to go to work this morning. My dad has the 4X4 out today so access all areas for him.

[Corabar Steve]

I think everyone has stayed at home today. The main road at the end of our road has been virtually empty all morning. So much so that the snow is still settling in the road.

[djsteve10]

It was on the news that they were urging drivers not to go out unless they really have to. People are using it as an excuse for a day off I think Ha! :D

[Corabar Steve]

I'd like to know what happened here. Check out the most obvious set of tyre tracks on the road running top to bottom.

[ppentertainments]

The snow is only bad because it has fell down south. We get snow up here and you never hear anything about it. :sofa:

PS before anyone takes it seriously that was a 'tongue in cheek' comment :D :p :D

[discomobiledj]

Can you willy wave with snow?


Not sure, I'll give it a good try though!! :D

[rob1963]

Can you willy wave with snow?


Let's have a go...

...we have about 6 inches here.

Can anyone beat that?

:D

[Corabar Steve]

Got to be at least 7 here :sj:

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Sunny here. I'm planning a BBQ...

[soundtracker]

We've had a bit more, almost up to an inch and a half!

[ppentertainments]

Who is going to be the first person to post a picture of a ruler in the snow to measure the height ??? There's bound to be one. :D

[soundtracker]

You've spoiled the surprise element now!

[discomobiledj]

And it's snowing even more now!

[Vectis]

Let's have a go...

...we have about 6 inches here.

Can anyone beat that?

:D

Is that imperial inches or "man-inches"? :D

[Penfold42]

Is that BBQ or foam party? :p :D

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

It's finally started snowing here too! (started before lunch)

We must have at least 2mm in places now. bringing the whole town to a stand still.:eek:

[Tom]

We must have about 7 inches of snow here and it keeps coming down. It's all good. :D:D:D

[Jiggles]

None here still :(:(

[rob1963]

Callum,

I reckon you should use the snow to your advantage.

If you have any kit to test, do it outside...then you can use the snow to put out the flames!

;)

2mm, thats bad. Could you imagine if was Autumn and there were leaves on the ground and it was snowing as well. The country would be had it. That's until Will Smith turns up and saves the day :D

[Corabar Steve]

None here still :(:(

Key part of Callum's post highlighted.

[Penfold42]

We had one hell of a thunderstorm at about 6 this morning. Followed by more snow.

[Jiggles]

Well the sky is blue and the grass is green here!

[PropellerHeadCase]

Going cycling, Callum?

[theoloyla]

Hello all I'm back from honeymoon in Tenerife. There was snow on Mount Teide at 2,000m but otherwise it was lovely and warm and sunny with a few showers. We flew out of Gateick on Sunday morning and I understand that they closed it later that day. lol

[Excalibur]

Nice to see you back Theo. Congrats to you and Jan.
It's been snowing here continuously since noon, and my school have just confirmed that if I can get there, the gig's on. :D :D :D

Just going outside now to feed the Huskies, and grease the sled runners. I may be gone some time. ;) :D :D

Welcome back Theo.

Did you see the thread sending congrats to yourself and Jan?

[Excalibur]

I made it home safely last night, after battling through drifts which in places must have been nearly four inches deep! :eek: Why is it that when you come up on a crocodile of vehicles travelling slowly, it's always the same vehicle at the front? :confused: A :Censored: 4x :Censored: 4! :bang: :bang: Us lads without the benefit of intelligent all wheel drive are cheerfully trundling along at 30 mph when we hurtle up behind the twit in the 30 grand ATV doing 15 mph! I give up! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Still. at least the snow gave the young 'uns the chance to show off their artistic and creative skills. As I left Tesco, I was ttreated to the sight of a splendid snow sculpture at the side of the road. An eight foot tall lifelike Phallus, replete with two huge hairy accoutrements! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

It's been sunny here today...

[Tom]

We had about 2 inches of snow in a few hours last night. Woke up this morning to see the road was ok to drive on. :(. lol
