Hey Joesmum, we have snow predictions too! Not looking forward to it at all.we were snowed in for about 5 days with the last beast from the east
Yuk! They’re saying this one shouldn’t be as bad. Fingers crossed.

Hello Katie and welcome to the CDR.

Hello Katie and welcome to the CDR.

Pull up an armadillo, help yourself to some coffee and relax. If you don’t like coffee the one legged pirate should be able to find you something else.

We are an international bunch of nutters* who chat, pun, tease and generally support each other.

The coffee table armadillo is called Montgomery. The leprechaun is sulking since he got sacked and the one-legged pirate got reinstated. The glowing jellyfish will help you find your way around, but do be careful not to trip over the hedgehogs.

The wool spider (if she exists) got a bit over enthusiastic with knitting socks during the last snow, she forgets we only have 2 legs each, so if you’re cold try to find corner 6 and they’re all there.

We’re generally on first name terms here - I’m Linda :)

Hi katieanddiggy! Welcome to the TFO and the CDR. I'm on the welcoming committee this week (self-appointed of course), so here's how this place works. More or less.
Welcome to the Cold Dark Room!
Pull up an armadillo to sit on. The One-Legged Pirate or the Leprechaun, his Substitute, should bring you a beverage of your choice. We should have a bar, The Drunken Penguin, recently opened in one of the corners and inspired by a resident penguin, either Silly or Willy. Speaking of corners, there are more of them in the CDR than we know, and there's a rumour that the Wool Spider might actually exist. :eek: Even if you don't find the bar, we usually have lots of tea and coffee -- and someone might still have a stash of cheese, though nobody has admitted it so far.
Do watch out for the hedgehogs. You can use the jellyfish to light your way. Exercise caution, and enjoy your stay. :D:D:D

Good morning Lena. How are you feeling this morning?

Is more snow forecast for Denmark this weekend?
I'll be better in June, thank you. :)
There were some white flakes flying into our faces this morning as I took daughter to school, but the forecast shows it'll be sunny during the day, and -7 at night. :eek: Methinks more snow will come, forecasted or not.
How was your walk?

Since we all watch and talk about the weather, and one special CDR member is from here, thought the Russia Today article provides a lot of info

  • Cape Town is counting down to ‘Day Zero,’ when the city’s water supply will run critically low. Many lament government inefficiency, while others blame climate change, but what has really pushed the city to its limit?
  • Day Zero is the point when the city government will turn off most of the water distribution systems, rationing what's left for essential services. At the time of writing, the event is predicted to take place on July 9. Dam levels are currently at 24 percent; Day Zero protocols will be triggered when the dams reach 13.5 percent capacity.

It was lovely. This is the last of the forecast sun. There’s just a little blossom starting to show and the birds were singing loudly. It was good to be out :)

Oh sorry. Grabs a jellyfish and moves it nearer to Montgomery. It’s in the pot. I always leave ot there (well except that morning after Montgomery had been partying with the pirate and the leprechaun)
Found it now! Usually I can follow the smell but these days my senses are a little dull :(

That’s unfortunate. Your parents undoubtedly have a good reason why they’re not happy with it. I take it they didn’t know you went for the interview.

I'm editing a journal issue about RT and similar sources of news (possibly the latter in quotation marks). Not that there's anything wrong with this article. Probably. Just made my hair stand on end.
(And now, mum's the word or I'll be kicked out of the forum...)

Yes, some ... err ... journalism is ... err ...more widely respected than others shall we say. I know exactly what you’re getting at.
