Rugby

Written by Jon Dunbar

First of all apologies for being away for so long, I was busy getting "suited up".  New job, new freelance work, started playing rugby again and my own personal portfolio are all numerous reasons why I haven't been on.

 

suit up

 

I'm now well back on track to being a proper man again.  Office job by day, rugby / web design by night, oh and I have a beautiful girlfriend these days too! Been a busy guy but i'll get back into writing content soon :D

SUIT UP! WORD!

Clearing 10 inch deep snow in Baltic conditions

Written by Dave1711

Due to the heavy snow our cars got snowed in in our garden and required to be dug out. We had previously done this when the snow was only 9 inches deep but since another 10 inches got dumped on us I decided to undertake this heroic task.

The road and parking area was completely and can't be distinguished from the grass in those photos but there is a hell of a lot of it. So I grabbed my trusty weapon and proceeded to dig out the road.

Trusty Weapon of Choice

Halfway There

After clearing about half of it a new weapon appeared on the scene. So I did when any sensible man would have done and threw away the shovel and hijacked the tractor.

The Better Weapon of Choice

Easily Shifts The Snow

Deep Snow Is No Match For It

The deep snow was no match for it and the job was completed in half the time. I used the shovel to dig out round the cars as night started to fall and could proudly say the manly task was completed.

The Finished Article 2

This surely has to be worth some points for , a) unleashing the guns to clear away deep snow using a shovel, and b) Having the common sense to throw away the shovel and hijack a tractor when the opportunity arises.
