Today has been an amazing mix of weird and insane madness due to, you guessed it, the white “falling from the sky” stuff! And even through it is cold, and everything looks pretty with the white highlight, I have discovered things that I had’t realised before, until now.

1. Local radio stations are useless
This morning I decided to listen to the two major local radio stations for my region: BBC Radio Cambridgeshire & Heart FM, both claiming they would keep us uptodate with the goings on. THEY LIED!

The spoke about the schools and colleges that were closed for the day, even spoke about the bus and train links between Cambridge and London, but did they once mention whether or not my uni was open at ANY point over 4hrs of listening (even after I emailed them both asking)?
I think you can guess the answer.

2. Buses like to surprise people
My town is supposedly lucky that we have a half hourly service to Cambridge… The problem this morning was that the one time I wanted to take, never arrived!

I had to wait, looking like a fool, for the next one / or the one I was actually waiting for which was running 30 mins late… you decide!

3. Kids, buses and snowballs do not mix
Every 5 mins or so yet another group of 8yr old boys think it is clever to pound the side if a double decker bus while it is moving… And why are they always able to hit the top deck everytime?

What’s most annoying about this is that one screaming/crying child downstairs still strapped to it’s buggy doesn’t make a sound when the bus is being used like a giant drum by 8yr olds, but when bus has to break hard-ish, and make a slight squeeking sound; the audio of what can only be described as “hell breaking loose” can be heard erupting from below.

4. Never use your iPhone on a bus
For the first time while blogging on the bus, a gentleman sitting across from me, is trying out ‘do’ me on “who’s got the better palm top”. He is waving about an old clunking HP device which you need to bend your knees to lift, while I have the sexy iPhone.

Yes I’m slightly biased, however this little war didn’t start until I got bored and started writing this beast. On the other hand, he also has an iPod in his pocket of which has not seen the light of day… So guessing by the scrappy state his earpieces are, he’s lost!

5. Iphone’s cannot…
Be used while wearing gloves, wet thumbs, or freezing cold hands.
