Birmingham jumps the shark: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/boxing-day-sales-start-early-12326514

Semi-related, but I've noticed that some shops have started discounting their Christmas stock and then clearing it from the shelves earlier and earlier with each passing year. Or at least, it feels like it...

I guess being shot is the equivalent of natural causes for a gangster

Given the recent troop movements in Eastern Europe that link has all kinds of scary connotations.

In Houston, Tx, snow is rare, but it does sometimes happen.

All it takes is 0.001mm of sno, and the city is grid-locked.
The local TV stations have helichoppers showing stationary traffic on 5 lanes each way on the 610 loop.

Thing is, they don't adjust their driving style to suit the conditions.
They just continue to drive at 60, bumper-to-bumper, and then 'Woah! What happened there!" when they hit ice on the over-bridges.

Go to Colorado, and they know how to deal with, and drive in, snow.

Snow - bah! I once lost 12 hours of my life at Toulouse airport for a nanometer of snow, almost missed the last connection at Frankfurt to boot with a sprint across the airport to the closing gate and home for midnight instead of lunchtime.
