Cheap rent.

Operating out of a Car Park of a dubious working mans club is a high price to pay for cheap rent Rumour has it the club may be closing - which would be bad as the customers will start drinking elsewhere { shudder }

We actually had a few meetings in the back room of the club; it wasn't too frightening.
We moved because there was a rumour that the council were going to build in that plot. When we made enquiries they would not confirm, but also would not give us security of tenure longer than six months. It seemed a good idea to move, and the new centre is in a more modern building with slightly better facilities.

Yes I remember the rumours ( which is why the club may be closing ) - I take it you are a Samaritan ? my wife ( before she met me ) had a go at being one ( if that's the correct term ) you / they do very good work

Same here in Surrey ( UK ) - really sizeable flakes with little or no traffic to stop it settling.

It is raining here, it reminds me of the Wales.

That's probably the first time Italy has ever reminded someone of Wales!

It certainly wouldn't happen in the Five Nations...

What is 'Five Nations'? Did you understand the soccer Chris or was it all in vain?

What is this 'soccer', of which you speak? Some foolish activity to distract the proletariat, I've no doubt.

Wake up to a warm sunny day and three pictures from my sister in Wales of the snow. I know which place I want to be at. Sorry, but not Wales.

Send some over here to Texas!! So far this year, it snowed for a few hours — just enough to drop 3.5 to 4 inches on the patio furniture.
Seriously, we seem to be getting less and less snow as the years go by. I can remember 6 inches on the pasture, with more on the patio furniture. But this was years ago....

Sure was cold last night! Woke up from my wife's snoring, tongue out of her moth - that's how she is. And believe it or not: There was frost on the tip of her tongue!

I have to recommend these AMD APUs for anyone considering a new machine.
They are absolute monsters.
I have a Ryzen 7 4750G
I have fallout 4 running with no video card, smoother and better looking than on my PS4
While I'm running a Linux VM
And browsing the web.
This machine is like, "what else do you got? let's play two games at the same time!"
Honestly, gaming isn't why I bought this machine at all.
But I'm amazed that it can render FO4 at a decent framerate without a video card.
My last machine wouldn't even render Fallout 3 without a video card in full screen on this display at a decent framerate.
I may as well be running a nintendo emulator as far as this PC is concerned. The fans didn't even speed up.
