Optrex does indeed work well for sore eyes. Now, can all those involved in snowmaking for Christmas morning please be sure to import a bottle each so that the sore eyes do not burn holes in the snow?

no no no, optrex- sore eyes... see? optrex... look some one was going to say it sooner or later...(for those of a colonial disposition, optrex is a sort of eyewash.. :rolleyes: )

Giggles - the snowmaker's sore eyes because he has had a wee drop of the whiskey to warm the cockles of his heart?

now that would be a sight for sore eyes...

Hmm... any chance you could get the snowmaker to work overtime on Christmas morning?

I think even us Brits get that feeling, especially nowadays. There seems to be very little in the way of snow, with winters getting warmer and wetter.

Welcome optrex!

I have to say that summers here are becoming more like kiwi summers. Having arrived in this part of the world at the end of a year there was a new experience in store for me. Sharing a flat in Edinburgh I woke on Christmas day to snow softly falling. In the southern hemisphere it is summer during Christmas,yet, most of us still cooked a traditonal dinner. Waking to snow on Christmas day was something only seen on cards and in movies. It s not something I am likely to forget.

Thanks for the welcome Jason

You're not going to get much of a summer this week. The remnants of Hurricane Helene are over Ireland now, although we're not going to suffer that much on our part of the world.

Look forward to catching up later Will ;)

Welcome Optrex,

By an amazing coincidence I joined your forum the other night, haven't posted there yet though. It's good to have close ties with a similar site from the next county. Good on ya, I'll talk more when I'm not at work. :)

Hi Guys,

I found WO from the vB fourms (we both use the same software) and seeing as we are near neighbours (I live on the Staffordshire/Warwickshire border) I thought I would pop by and say hello.

I must say it looks as though Will has put in a lot of effort, which is key to a successful forum and I'm sure WO continue to grow.
