The cold didn't bother me, as your toes go totally numb after your socks are completely soaked. However, I've gone a**e over t*t five times, but I only hit my head on the pavement on three of those occasions, so the headache isn't too bad.

I wonder what I'm doing on Accyweb though? Never heard of the place! :confused:

Sparks has a theory that if you want to stay upright in the snow you have to mince a bit when you walk. My colleagues and I tried this on the works car park after a night shift. Can't say for certain that it definitely works cos we were all falling about laughing.:D
