You've Gotta Speed It Up...

I'm going to be stereotypically English now and talk about the weather. If you don't like it, you can go philosophise about stuff that actually matters until your brain dribbles out, with my blessing. But until the day comes when I go crazy and add someone else to the members list just for the hell of it, it's banalities for supper. Where was I?

The weather. It's misbehaving. It's been snowing for most of the day, but with no respect for regularity of sense or anything. It's like there's some big slider labelled "Snow" and someone's idly fiddling with it with their free hand. Only it wouldn't be labelled "Snow", and there would probably be four or five, because nothing that's operated by a big slider is ever that easy to use.

For the sake of illustration, here is the weather now and here is the weather about two minutes ago (in AVI format). Those of you who can't be bothered downloading them can get the basics of the situation down by looking at the filenames, but you'll never understand fully (you worthless sloths).

It's trying to drive me mad, you know. And it's working. You can tell because I took a video of the snow and then took a video of the lack of snow, and then tried to present them to the world as evidence that the weather is trying to drive me mad.

Talking about the weather is "stereotypically British?"

So I'm told. I would imagine that people from elsewhere have a better idea of how we're stereotyped than we do, so I wasn't about to argue.
