Genie Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 My lads match today went ahead, picture below of how it started and how it finished an hour later. The lines had to be swept to keep the game going till the end. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 As soon as it started coming down heavy I took the dogs out for an hour and half on the outskirts of Cannock chase. Very nice walk indeed. The dogs are both flat out snoring their heads off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew, the locals were happy it wasn’t balmy then, and the bush wasn’t required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its reputation rests entirely on being the highest pub in Britain, and the fact that one of these lock-ins happens (and generates free publicity) pretty much every winter. Friends who have been tell me the food's crap and the beer's overpriced. It used to be alright there tbh but that was a long time ago, like 25 yearsish. Four poster beds, roaring fire, an amusing parrot and a bar that really didn't observe closing time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 My grandsons school in Hednesford is closed today. They did have it fairly bad up there and the hills don't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I’m surprised the local schools here are open. I assume once I’m out of my street the roads are fine. I’ll soon find out… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Just now, bickster said: Yes but Rugeley's School of Heavy Rock is open It would be bicks if the missus got out of bed and came and lay on the sofa instead. She’s bedridden with Covid so down in the dumps. I’m off because of the weather . I rarely watch tv , so today would be a good day to get through some of my LPs I haven’t played .

Rugeley Villa Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Used to wear thermals in the winter until I got with my chick and moved in with her. Got rid then. You know what they say , it’s cold being cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Crikey it's cold out there. Been to the Churchyard market to get my shish kebab wrap. It's just bitter, can't remember being so cold after a brief walk around town. Maybe it's the lack of acclimatisation? Last home game I went in just my Villa top and claret hoodie, that was just over a week ago. If the game was tonight it would indeed require the full thermal treatment. There isn't even much wind to get a windchill factor. Forecast says it's 1 degree but that's surely not right.

Much prefer being somewhere with a bit of cover and warmth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
