danger of ice

hi everybody. Just to say to be careful with the frozen snow and slippery ice on the streets especially by night.
I came back last night from the pub and felt on the ground because of the slippery pathway. The result is I hit my head and its quite painful, I ruined my pants and jumper (big scratch), and , I noticed this right now, my wallet and everything in my pockets felt.

So... maybe next time i will take a taxi just to avoid 400 meters of Indiana Jones stuff

No, you buy shoes that have proper soles, watch where you step and walk half of your normal speed.

Otherwise you will sped a lot of money taking taxis the next 4-5 months.

You can always do like the Mummo's and put those rubber things with spikes on your shoes. Granny-chic...

After having broken both arms two years ago, only one day between them, I fully recommend them even for younger males. How would you call them in English?

Rubber things... Well, don't men also use rubber things with girls?

I thought you might develop something from studded tyres?

Well you can get those studded versions for the rubber things to use with girls. Apparently they increase her pleasure, but I'm wiser than that, I make sure I turn the thing inside out first

Maybe even "strap-on spikey rubber things". They have them in many places, from Stockmann to Biltema.

There are shoes with "fold over spikes" on the bottom. Then there is no strapping. Down side, sometimes they fill up with snow right when you need to "fold em".

So coming back from the pub and falling over is entirely the fault of the ice...?
