UK freezes in South Pole weather
I am meant to be having exams at the moment but they are delayed :-/, my entire university is shut now on monday due to them running out of grit and to top it up I had no power all morning and afternoon. My room is freezing even with the heating now on and back, absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!
How is everyone else coping?

They shut it down?
still, I'm pretty glad I haven't moved to my new room yet. There is little isolation there and one window is broken.

If you were in France you would have said, "none of them can speak French."
It's rare here for anyone to speak French so in Junior high we had a substitute teacher tell us a story. "I moved here from Texas." Our province has tons of people that go back and forth mostly because of Oil. He went on to tell us, "Yeah I would have moved here two years ago but I wanted to learn to speak french first." We laughed. It's funny people here complain about the Quebecous yet the ones that move here are usually pretty good people.

Would this be a good place to point out that it's 76F and sunny on the westside in LA? (my relatives on the east coast hate it when I do this)
