No I am not talking about AC/DC's rocktastic last record but that cursed stuff that forms on roads when temperatures plummet. Like now. My God it pi$$es me off! I enjoy a bit of snow, it makes gardens look pretty by hiding the broken bicycles and weeds and is soft should you happen to fall in it. There is even the chance you might be able to save your drink from spilling in the fall as its not severe.
Ice on the other claw is VERY severe like the hangover from a four day white cider binge. *shudder* It is evil. So evil in fact that I could picture Satan himself thinking, 'hmm....black ice? No ta, too evil for me!'
And theres little to be done but suffer it. Snow? Easy, dig. Ice? You be f**ked. Pouring boiling water on it only creates MORE ICE as water FREEZES. Duh. Ever had a hangover that picks at your brain all day and nothing you do seems to shift it? THAT IS ICE!
The only thing its good for is cocktails. It makes flagellation look fun.
For the most part im a gentle, contented soul, happy to let life go on its merry way. But sometimes things happen that would test the patience of a saint (or a poet) and for these little troubles I give you Ranter the Shanter ~ Born to shant, Loves to rant! You think im cute when I get mad? Well in a minute im about to be f**king gorgeous.

Snow Joke
Okay before I start dock me a few credibility points for using such an ovious tabloid-alike headline. What can I say? Its freezing cold, my brain has been numbed and ive not touched a drop of the good stuff for three days so the cogs are not 'cogging' in full gear.
So anyway, snow has fallen all over West Wales (and other parts of Britain too) and forecasters predict its going to be around for ten days or so, bringing blizzards and other frosty delights with it. Namely traffic chaos.
Best fetch the sleeping bags
The white stuff only arrived 10am yesterday morning and by 11:30 I was stuck in a two hour gridlocked mess. RAGE! Crazy how a little bit of snow can bring a county to its knees. And of course not just my county but everywhere! Snow can paralyse Britain at will it would seem.
Theres seldom enough gritters on the roads but on the other, more dangerous hand, we have plenty of foolish, impatient motorists who think they're invincible and invariably end up in a hedge or in the back of a ten ton truck. (And I must admit I CHEER when they do. Plebs.)
Why is it other countries fare better? And don't give me the 'we dont get bad weather her often' excuse. Those Ice Road Truckers seem to keep on truckin'. Why the hell can't we?
