She who must be obeyed says I am spending too much time on this forum. I love her dearly but what does she know?

I've driven on thick ice.

Out on the sea ice between Oulu and Hailuoto. Chickened out after about a mile and felt a little sheepish when a tipper truck went past going the other way.

When we were in St Petersburg a few years ago we "gingerly" walked out a little onto the frozen sea.
We need not have worried. The local youths were having great fun with their cars each towing four or five tyres (all linked by ropes) with another lad sitting in each tyre.
Seemed like great fun.......if one was 17 again!


I'll get round to fixing it drekkly me 'ansome.

I was in Stockholm one winter and the Baltic froze. Saw an ice fisherman and while crossing a bridge along the archipelago, a motor bike drove under the bridge.
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

Winter 62/63 - went for a walk on Wroxham Broad (Norfolk, UK) - saw several cars driving on it, didn't dare risk my car, but didn't see any failures.
