It was a magnificent post. So firm, so.....oh.
Anyway, was just watching old home videos of my family in England (Doncaster and York, to be precise). It was snowing in my street. Snowing! And my backyard, car and house were covered in snow. Covered in snow! I'm sure you'd have enjoyed that Spawny. I bet even the cold castles were covered in snow.
I was happy in England, and really didn't want to come back here. There's so much to do over there that you can't do here, but then of course there's also so much to do here that you can't do there. Anyway, drinking decent beer at a decent price was nice. I don't think things have changed to much up north, where beer is waaay cheaper than it is in Melbourne. Way better too. Fuck me dead petrol is expensive there though. It's 20p more expensive now that it was then too.
I found English people to be very friendly in the main. When the found out I supported the English cricket team they were even friendlier. I don't mind English weather either - nice crisp winter days. Only 4 degrees or so, but still and sunny.
