Yesterday was fantastic, today was extreme. How do we sleep in this heat?
Us Brits are not born for these weather conditions.

you can now all go off and talk about Tim's new hair-do

I'll join ya mate.

There's a storm a-comin' - that's for sure.
Open another bottle of vino and wait for the night to take hold.

Yippee!

We had our storm a few days ago and since then its been sunny but with a really nice breeze so even I can enjoy the weather

Mind you - not sure about today .....spent in bed (sleeping, reading and drinking tea ) with the curtains closed until 4pm. But when I finally got up it was still sunny and still just balmy so I'll reckon it was like that most of the day

it wasn't so hot here today.

Well, if it's going to get hot on your little island, I'll consider moving my arse that way

We'd love to see you

First I'm going to Turkey next week though, I guess there's more chance of good weather back there as where you guys are

I think you're probably right Enjoy your holiday

I'll do my best

Very first time I'm going on one of those lazy arse sun holidays, normally I rather go to see things, but as someone offered me to join (and I didn't have a clue what I could do otherwise) thought I might give it a try

Cool - take sun block (always assuming you want to avoid a tan). We went to Tunisia a couple of years ago and went on a trip to the desert - 50 degrees and I still didn't get a tan (that was also the trip we went to see Luke Skywalkers house I don't think Pauls feet touched the ground the entire time we were there - the man was a blur running all over the place )

'twas freezing cold at about 3am this morning with a crystal clear night sky -always a good sign of incoming "phew what a scorcher" weather.by 8.30 -9.00 it was well hazy as all the dew boiled off and then scorchio! -too ferking warm fer me,so i spent all day whizzing my head off playing computer games

nothing special -flash pacman,a few different "snake" games,tetris of various sorts, video poker/roulette (for some reason i've gotten into non-gambling gambling games ) -just making up for my childhood when i couldn't afford to play arcade games so playing "flash" versions for free now.

I'll try to get a tan, but I'm taking sun block still, 'cause I need the protection. Got burnt as a child once, and now I've got some of those annoying spots on my back

Not getting a tan at 50 degrees is an art on itself too, I think Quite surreal

today was just nice

I been to 'two-knees-ya' it sucks major satanic dick!
Warm under strength non fizzy lager, vodka that is way below the European average, foul red wine, crap food, smells of drains, surley bar tenders and evil taxi drivers (he is a whole post on his own!!!).
Sorry if I kicked off there, but it was the worst holiday I have ever had.
At least I didn't get the shits and only because I was surviving on bags of crisp or chips, as the rest of the world call them.

My thoughts are just get as drunk as you can so that you can pass-out unless work tomorrow Sleep naked and only a sheet and with your window open....lots of water next to the bed...good luck

@Obviousman - have a great holiday and enjoy...don't forget the photo's please

Yes. But they filmed Star Wars there

Proper Star Wars

P.S. Was the surley bar keep related to Liz...?


I know: coat

who's Liz?

I'm with ya, Jimbo - today in Glagow was beyond a f**king joke.
When I was in toon I went to use a phone box... not only was I absolutely cooked after being in there two minutes, the buttons of the phone were so hot they burnt my fingers just dialling the number.

It's getting to the point where I might just have to go out in the back garden in the nuddy and do a rain-dance...

It's been relitavely nice today - not too hot at all.
Sometime around 11pm it got STUPIDLY warm and humid though. Seems to be calming down a bit now though.

Oh bollocks to the pair of you. Today was wonderful! Lunch in the park again for me, marred only by somebody setting up their decks and treating the whole park to what I believe is now termed "old school dance". Still, it was a perfect night for cider on the balcony - hot and dark.

Feel for me, I'm stuck in a roasting hot factory At least you lot are in yer beds!
