Next we will have legislation to restrict the sale of Polyfilla ....

it would be more effective to restrict procreation to people who pass an IQ test :eek:

^^^^ THIS!! Just control the idiots from multiplying! LOL

Makers of Polyfilla will probably be sued now and will have to put a warning sticker on the package:

WARNING! Do NOT fill microwave ovens with this product and put your head in it.

'morning all. -7C here, snowing and really windy. Wasn't a good drive into work.
That would equate to 19F for most of you folks. Not too cold....but that wind!

That is being very unfair to small soap dishes .....

maybe it is nature's answer to natural selection?

LMAO Yes, that was unfair to the small soap dishes of the world and I sincerely apologize!

Problem with natural selection is that the smarter bipeds make warning labels and laws to protect the weak-minded ones. We need to stop doing that!

I think I would rather just have it all cold or all warm... I hate the on again, off again winters. You never know what to expect.

Sooooo badly want to see some snow so it'll be worth heading up to a resort to ski on snow rather than small trees and rocks.

Thanks to all this global warming we had a record setter here ~14 years ago. Looked out my window at the thermometer...... negative 30*F (same as the NOAA reading).

I would never assume that! LOL If the person is a politician, that right there tells you their level of intelligence.

I grew up in northern Ontario and I remember days of -40. And it doesn't matter which system you use, it's the same in either one. You know that when you step out your nostrils are going to stick shut lol

I've never ran into that problem, and the reason for this is because the antifreeze is transferred to the bloodstream well before any ol' keg could freeze.
