With that response I'd guess it's something we'd all find hilarious. Time to spill.

Come on now, lets be avin the tale.

Yeah, stop beating around the bush and tell all.

(for next door, bloody Jesuits! can't get a moment's peace)

We need to hear that story too!

Them bloody Jesuits have been driving him mental. Apparently 'The Soldiers Of Christ' are noisy neighbours

Are you still housebound after your fall like a little old lady timbot?

We had some snow in London that lasted for several minutes!

haha it does look a bit like that. Oooh nasty fall... oooh can't put the heating on.... oooh got to ration my tobacco out etc etc

It was a ravine BTW. i.e the steep cut a small river has made. Strictly speaking. It wasn't near my house or it wouldn't have been dangerous would it? dur.

I've got a country/winter question.

I've been out larking in the snow a fair bit last few days and my are toes nearly dropping off. I never had circulation problems before or felt anything like it and I have been in snow loads before any of you pensioners say anything about my age.

They actually hurt when I try to warm them up. To a point now where I don't want to go out for too long. Why is this only happening now?

Reverse engineer it.

What has happened that is new apart from the weather?

Nothing! I am a year older.

what have you got on your feet for example?

ah right good point! new boots.

Is there any metal in them?

Of course! got to be steelies.

and yes i have tried loads of pairs of socks

One of the reasons the Germans were annihilated by the Russian winter was they had steel nails in their boots. Their feet kept dropping off. That and they had the wrong lubricant for most of their machinery which also froze.


Metal in boots is great for safety but the best conductor of cold or rather conductor of heat (from your feet outwards) so any metal at all in freezing conditions is inadvisable if not sheer lunacy.


Several hundred thousand toeless nazis can't be wrong.

my quote of the week however...

back to the Yorkshire Evening Post please!

Spill it!

I just fell through the ice on the river warfe trying to rescue my dog!

I can't feel my ball bag!

It's not that cold when you are in the water due to shock. But the walk home is both painful and embarrassing I have discovered.

In Public.

That is all. Stay tuned for more bad outdoor mancraft and extreme dog walking tips.

My daft dog decided to jump in the snow covered iced over canal near where I live a few weeks ago...I didn't jump in thou, I dragged her out.

You sir, are a bad Bear Grylls.

You and water have an uncanny habit of being as one.

The dog has uncharacteristically shown gratitude and keeps coming up to me as if to go "that was a close one".

I had to do it, there were people around and he was making pathetic noises.

Afterwards it was me making the noises, with less interested onlookers.

On the plus side I can't feel my bad ankle now. Or anything below the waist.

I have a sort of grudging admiration for timbot's pluck and outdoorsiness which I have seen first hand and been mildly sickened by in Ibiza.

On the other side of the coin his constant rubbishness makes me glad to be a total city slicker and hopeless gardener. And it is funny.

Do yourself a favour Tim, before it's too late
