*"We're frozen with fear at the prospect of a white

"Interest in the traditional festive wager has gone into overdrive
this year."
*The odds on Christmas snow in Glasgow have shortened from

I am not a gambler but this female's genital was walking in the middle
of the road this morning.

I weigh over 15 stones and my bones are those of a capable manual
labourer's.

I don't gamble and I don't bounce. Nor am I afraid to make traffic go
around me.

However, I do bear in mind the the majority of Britain's worst drivers
are not old enough to have experience of winter. Some of them have
little memory of pavements.

Whilst on the subject of genitalia, can someone tell me which BBC
director employs weather presenters who don't know enough to come in
out of the rain?

Is it still the same person who's name I may not mention?
