"I'm just going outside. I may be some time." Who said that before going out into the snow?

[Sandy-Wroe]

I'm not going out till there's a thaw.

I can't get out..............I had some new driveway gates fitted last year and they open outwards......I can't open them for all the snow and can't get out to clear the snow away.....help!!!

Captain Pugwash?

[jackthehat]

Mr Porridge just after he'd had his oats..................

[joggerjayne]

Did Captain Oates also say that bit about not going out until there was a thaw ?

Now there's a lesser known historical fact !!

[Sandy-Wroe]

No. Captain Pugwash was an agoraphobic. He never went out.

[Ankou]

no he had a lisp. what he really said was.

i'm jutht going outthide. i may be thome time. well actually i'm not going out my feet are still thaw from that long walk.

[Sandy-Wroe]

Capt Birdseye may have got out, but he didn't get away unscathed. Both his fish fingers and his cod balls were frozen solid...

[craft1948]

and they were very nice in my sandwich yesterday....

[joggerjayne]

Ankou ... did he have a lisp? ... or was his tongue frozen?

[smudge]

I said it earlier Sandy, but I'm back now! It lovely walking in the crunchy snow, but also nice to be in the warm again!

[Ankou]

if i had a frozen tongue i wouldn't talk. but i would be looking for somewhere nice and warm to put it.
