Don't eat while driving
Swiss police reward safe drivers
Presumably the safe drivers have to eat before leaving or wait until they stop again, so they can concentrate on the road and not on the delightful swiss choccies?

Every summer the local cops give out tickets to kids wearing bike helmets, good for an ice cream, and a draw at the end of the summer for a new bike.
Makes kids wear their helmets, and gives them a chance to interact in a positive way with the cops.

Well I think the Swill will get invade4d by a lot of women who want that chocolate. Almost sounds like another fic for the writers here. But not just a fic, but with a homage fic to Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

Katse is supposed to be from somewhere around that area.
I bet Katse likes chocolate. I'm imagining a raid on traffic police HQ to steal it. Maybe in a gnome mech.

But what about snow, after all the Swiss live on the other side of the Alps, which means you will have to dr5ive through snow?

I think the Condor Attacker can deal with it.

Are you enjoying the rain/flooding they are getting over there in Stratford?

Stratford doesn't have it the worst...
The head office of the company I work for is in Cheltenham - it got flooded a few weeks ago and they stuff they kept in the basement, such as the servers and UPSs (wow, great planning) got ruined. The previous owners decided to build their prestigious office on a flood plain - I wonder if the land was cheap?
So it got flooded again on Friday. Guess where they put the replacement servers and UPSs that they only just replaced? Right next to the old ones. In the basement.
I work for idiots, clearly.
They've got no direct water supply either, although that's just because of where they are, rather than unbelievably bad planning.
However, Met and I only live a few miles apart, and where we live hasn't had the worst of it at all. Although I did have trouble getting to school to pick my daughter up on Friday since the local streams were all over the roads.

Lightening and floods never strike the same place twice, unless you look at the real world.
Woman is stopped as she gets onto an airplane. Seems she has a bomb in her luggage.
"Yes, sir, it's a real bomb. It's for safety. There are never two bombs on an airplane."

Not exactly... I'm firmly on the fence you see... Condor, Eagle, they BOTH have their charms... i would have thought that my fics proved *that*....
In any case, I was only talking about the Condor Attacker, but if the Condor comes with it, then I have no complaints!

Lucky for me the the weather just can't make up it's bloody mind. First it rains one day, then stops for the second day and then rains again the thrird day, stops the next day and so forth.
Also, the West Midlands seems to be okay. It's mostly Yorkshire, Wales and south midlands, (Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire) that are hit the worst. It seems that my borther's family, excluding their cat, havfe moved to my parents (that's a bit tight fit there, with 4 adults ad 3 kids in a 4 bedroom house) because part of the road that my borther's house is flooded.
As for Merri's employers putting the servers next tot he old ones.....Don't suppose any of them use to work for Index by any chance, as that would surprise me at all.
I think I might buy a narrow boat and live on that for 40 days and 40 nights.
It's also strange that there's a film whicvh will be out (Forgot the name), which is a kinda of a follow up to Burce Almighty where a person is made into a NOah type person by Morgan Freeman's God.
Concidence?
