Was saddened to hear this. I’m a HUGE Red Dwarf fan (and Douglas Adams too).

Morning greets me with snow,
Two tiny inches — not two feet of woe.
Shovel first, coffee must wait,
Enough to rile this grump—too late!

At an accessible section of the D&R Canal that runs near my home. Still frozen, recently covered with nearly 2 ft of snow, but rapidly thawing.

I used it as a tool, but when the company I worked for went bankrupt and I was made redundant, 59 year-old me decided it was time to take my bow.

Despite being in the technology field for 40 years, I’m rooting (hey, a pun!) for option D.

@champierth.bsky.social They were called that in the US, but I believe it was called a Golf in your part of the woods.

I probably have a USB-SCSI interface somewhere. I’ve been going through all my old technology recently and any hard disks of a decent size I kept to build two storage servers. The rest I used for therapy by pounding the platters into dust. 🔨

So, anyone want some snow? I have plenty in stock, ready for immediate shipment.

Many years ago, I drove a small orange forklift for a book company and accidentally drove over someone’s foot. They were ok, but the forklift was immediately christened ‘Orange Crush’.

I just discarded two boxes of 3.5” floppy disks - but saved a couple “just in case”.

After a brief pause, it has started snowing again. Snow blower is at the ready! 😁🌨️

I’m going to enjoy this with another mug of hot chocolate after round 1 of snow removal. 😊
