I saw a roller coaster while passing the RDS this morning. Why would anyone want to go on a roller coaster in winter?

Yes, that's right. Because all teachers live in the school and find it very easy to get to work when there's a foot of snow outside. We just decided to close because we fancied a few days off.
OR
The reality is that, in England certainly, a huge number of staff live miles away from work and can't just walk in like the majority of kids can. I haven't been able to get out of my street since the snow started on Tuesday night, as there is a foot of now frozen snow blocking everyone in. And after that I've a 13 mile journey to the town I teach in. I'm afraid I'm not going to risk my life, or my car, to get into work, just because it's inconvenient for parents to have to look after their kids in term time for a couple of extra days. It is also financially inconvenient for us to not get to work and exams start for 6th formers next week. My head teacher certainly does not take the decision to close the school lightly. Last time we had snow half as bad in December, we were the only school that opened, out of at least 5 high schools in the local area.
We also have to think about the fact that we have only 4 site staff to clear all the snow and on the school site to make it safe for students to move about on during the school day, and being a sprawling site with lots of stairs and walkways, this is quite a challenge, particularly when snow is falling sporadically, covering up what has already been cleared.
I must say I get a bit fucked off with all the "oh teachers are all lazy bollox anyway" shite that gets thrown about when things like this happen.

I've to bring people to the airport at 5am. What's the likelihood of the airport being closed, or me making it home alive?

I think the train has proved itself the king of all the modes of transport during these treacherous times by being almost completely unaffected. Shit buzz though if you don't live near one or don't have buddies with a comfortable couch who live near one.
that was gas the way the lady slid along on her arse and the guy seemed to get run over. was this in dublin?
