Snow problem

[i_kender]

...but at least it's snowing again! Yeeeeee!! I love snow so much. I can't remember the last time I saw snow (having lived recently in London- therefore pollution and no snow- or Brighton- coastal town, no snow) but I think it might have been 2001. I hope it stays, I hope it settles, I hope all the schools close, there are snowfights in the streets, and that the government collapses into anarchy! Oops, did I say that out loud?

Ham, my best friend in Bahrain, is 28 and has still never seen snow. He has now vowed not to see snow until he can save up the money, get a holiday to some snow-covered mountains somewhere, possibly Switzerland, and throw himself into a snow drift.

The Brazilians who live in my house are also frantically excited, having never seen snow before.

It has never snowed in Bahrain in recorded history and barring a global Ice Age it never will.

This post will self-destruct in five seconds by folding into an improbable origami jellyfish. That is all.

My partner teaches students from Malaysia and other points east and a lot of them have never seen snow. When there's a pathetic sprinkle like this morning all hell breaks loose. :-)

Pathetic sprinkle! It's a blizzard out there!

...no, it's not, really. I'm just belabouring your point ;) Thinking about it, many of my friends in Bahrain are unlikely to have seen snow. Which is sad really. I *still* find snow exciting.

Government collapses into anarchy.

Yup. That's you on The List.

If you weren't there already.

Dangerous subversive. With your free-thinking.
