I do live in a region where frost is a common occurence, just not in half October. I recognize that my stunt was dangerous, but I absolutely had to get my GF to the train ontime cause it was her first day of work.
I drove as safely as possible as I'm not in a hurry of participating in another car crash, I'm not *that* irresponsible.

I'm sure most cops would think "well that makes it all okay in that case".

Better a fine than losing my job, anyway.

So this is my interpretation of what I've read so far. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this:
Essentially what I read is that you're willing to endanger yourself, endanger others, and break traffic law for the sake of a job.

You should move down this way - you never need to run to catch the train, because there's never a train to catch!

It's *****ing freezing here in the south west of the UK...mostly due to the fact I am shirt sleeves, forgot the nice thermal jumper I was wearing earlier in the week and T-shirt due to the fact my so called accurate watch has some how added 5 mins to itself and I ran this am to get the train... 
Shut up ya Whinging Pom, you don't know cold till you come to Australia in October and have a day drop below 20 Celsius. I mean I had to put a singlet on today. I don't mean under a shirt or anything, just put it on also needed to put the thongs on, the bottoms of my feet were freezing.

You'd probably freeze just by thinking at the temperatures we have here on Winter
I mean, -5°C is pretty much the norm at midday, while in the night it drops to -18° and we had peaks of -26°. the sad part? Our houses (at least the onesw built when there was more common sense) are all built to withstand lower temperatues.

Yeah, well I spent several years doing chemical and core analysis on the North Slope, you haven't lived til you survived -60F (with out the wind chill)!

So apparently lemons are not a naturally occurring fruit, it is bred from the sour orange and the citron. So it's not the product of evolution, but selective breeding.
So life didn't give us lemons.

It is a hybrid of the two but I think it may a natural one.
All the same, life doesn't give us lemons - supermarkets sell them to us at vastly inflated prices.

Isn't selective breeding part of evolution, too?

Everything is until science decides something else makes more sense.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well, it's hardly brain surgery[^], is it?

Doesn't work, "an error occurred"

Maybe it's geo-locked? Try this one[^] instead.

Indeed. Rocket destroys a salad whereas a slice of lemon goes very nicely in a G&T.

Yup. You could call it "guided evolution", as it is only missing the random-generator.
