Who is to say a few degrees here and there isn't a normal or random blip in millions of years of the earths weather patterns?

Snapzzz, I am inclined to agree that we can be incredibly arrogant as a race, and I think the approach to "global warming" at the moment is wrong, but I should point out that we do not need to have kept weather records ourselves. The planet has done it for us, and by drilling through the ice at the polar regions, or by taking soil and rock samples from other areas, we have a pretty good record of the weather and climate over the past several millennia.

Snapzzzz, I agree that the thought of it is gut wrenching. It is sad that we can even think that someone "had" to come to work even if ill. I hope there is a full enquiry and if anything comes out in the wash, then the guilty parties are held fully accountable.

OA, sorry to hear that about your lout. The good news is that it is pretty good timing, and he should be fully fit for the 2012/13 ski season :lol:

That's mean OA, that has got to be from some time in the summer. Or possibly December last year :twisted:

That's a real bummer Snapzzz, very sorry to hear it. Did you know him well?

Condolences and prayers to his family and friends.

HOWEVER.....falling down....3 or 4 WEEKS on the slopes is just not fair :(

What if those 3 or 4 weeks were your entire holiday for the year? Personally, I do not enjoy going on Summer holidays. With the possible exception of a sailing trip, I would prefer to Ski as much as possible instead. So if I was lucky enough to get 4 weeks on the slopes, why is that any different to 2 weeks skiing and 2 weeks sunning on a beach somewhere?

Edit, Icy is on his mobile again, queuing for petrol no doubt :twisted:

He's probably had to do some work :mrgreen:

Don't think so :shock: He claimed he was going to get time off work as he was out of petrol :roll:

Edit2, or was it both of them :twisted:
