I could have tried harder, but i looked online and my trains were all cancelled / late so i could not be bothered. I am still working! No excuses these days, VPN'd in and its as if i was in the office.

Don't mind, i work for a mobile content company. Sell ringtones, games, wallpapers, other products in around 26 different countries.
Today i am setting up new services in Italy & Germany, its all just configuration locally, so it can be done from anywhere really :y
-
Sound. Wish I could work from Home!! :'(
-
i wish i couldn't, would have had the day off!
-
Hehe!! Very True!!

i had to go to reading today to build a copy of dns servers that many of you will use either at home or at work without knowing....
'Interesting' getting out of town, then A43 wasn't gritted but they did have snow ploughs out :o
-
No snow over here. Looks like I'm missing out on all the fun. :(

Swindon had about the same amount of snow as you tunnie......i was out and working 6.30am :y .......just got back in now.
And i got RWD with no weight over the back wheels....as just about all the pickups this morning were 1 person and they sat in the front.
I found the best approach if i got stuck on an incline.....was drop it into R let it go back a couple of inches.....str8 back D.....before its completely stopped going backwards and floor it.......and let the TC deal with it :y worked evertime :y
Tho a CD doesnt have TC so wouldnt have helped you ;D and ive also been told the TC on Omegas isnt that good :-/

I thought it was you trying to mow me down in Morrisons carpark in Reading earlier - a silver facelift taxi screeming towards me... ...then I remembered you got the merc ;D
-
And you could be having another day off tunnie.....if you get the same weather as swindon overnight......metoffice web site is predicting for swindon (ive found metoffice to be the most reliable) heavy snow from 3am to 6am again, same as last night :y
