Bought 2x1L bots of Bombay Sapphire for £30 on Thurs night on Tui flight home from Mexico. Bargain! 

Downed about half of a litre of Bombay Sapphire over the course of Christmas day (as well as 2 bottles of prosecco) I love the stuff! Don't drink very often but when I do it has to be good stuff.

Well if Crewecold can consume half a bottle of the Bombay gin in a day? Then his bottle will last two days.. is that what you meant? We’ve moved away from the weather now as mant have moved to the next level of ginsteria.

As much as I love snow it won't be fun walking to work at 6am. Especially when it all freezes. But I kind of want it too ?

Ooh..another fellow 6am starter. I'd rather walk to work in the snow than on an untreated icy road though. I have my life in my hands coming over the little bridge on my way to work !

I have an unopened Martin Miller's and a Brecon Beacons Gin already opened. The BB one is ace; cant remember exact name of it - it was a bday prezzie. But it is lush with slice of lime, ice and fever tree. Gawd i want one now but am on dryers til this Thursday

Aw, man, I am *addicted* to fever tree!  I've been a fan of the old mothers' ruin for years but nowadays I just stick to the tonic. Need bigger bottles, though!

Wow -18 uppers in showing for northern Scotland on the 18z. Only -13/14 for this region. 

[Mapantz]

Scotland and the Northeast would do well for snow on this run lol

[EllyTech]

I went... in .. there   ( the MAD place ) But I stayed completely within the rules. 

[Mapantz]

wow - the 18Z blows it all North by some distance! .. i'll wait for the ensembles again, I think?! :s

[Mapantz]

Yet another GFS scenario being shown..

141 hours - very cold air across our region..
204 hours - marginal upper air creeping in to the South coast.

12Z was slipping away too much South for my liking, 18Z wants to push it too far North, now.

I'm still keeping an open mind, it's just the OP run. The ECM was my favourite tonight.

Yeah I would like to see it all shunted further south for more longevity for us down here.
