Oh, we had a snow day during the Beast from the East. I wouldn't rule that out just yet.

Beast from the east was pre-Covid though wasn’t it? The online learning that came along with Covid (as well as the working from home) means no pissing about in the snow just because you can’t get to school (or work 😭).

The moon landing was utterly amazing. Hope to see a landing on Mars before I die.

In my lifetime: a Queen of England (Queen in her own right, not as consort)

Yep no one alive now will see a Queen on the throne again.

Insipired by the other thread.. a female US President.

Yep no one alive now will see a Queen on the throne again.

Anyone born in the last 11 years has a good chance of outliving Prince George. If his firstborn is a girl, or if he dies childless and his sister Charlotte outlives him, those people will see another Queen before they die,

Alternatively, it could happen via abdications or untimely deaths.

I won't be around to cash in, but my bet would be that our next Queen will be called Elizabeth III.

A snow day for children

Teaching will be done online instead, such a pity

Teacher here, my Internet will undoubtedly stop working and be overwhelmed if there's a snow day. None of the kids will be online they will all be out in the snow. I will set work but I won't be sat like a lemon talking to no audience.
