Very Very Hot

Limey Linda · 14 July 2006, 23:14

Just been outside at 3 pm and temperature is 115 F. Forecast says it may get down to 100F by midnight. Pheeeew- Time for a cold one sat in some water. Do not think the dog is going to get his evening walk.

I have gone to hate the heat - could be after living in stupid hot countries.

Found a copy of an old BP magazine for when we lived in Aden - 122F in the shade at 6am - the sea temp was 99F - hotter than blood - no wonder the sharks weren't dangerous - they were too sluggish to move!!!

G'day Codders
Actually the heat is not too bad as the humidity is only 10%. and of course we have that wonderfull invention called air conditioning. However we have to drink a lot of fluids to avoid dehydration. I would give my left nut for a good pint of bitter about NOW. By the way a front wheel drive Lotus must be equiv, to a 2 legged horse or something similar. If and when I get the money stashed away I am going to buy a used Caterham 7 . They are very popular in the US. Have a good night and I will start cooking dinner as I am GMT. -7hours.
Regards T.
PS. Have just heard on the news that a Chinese company have purchased the rights to the name MG and are going to build a factory in Oklahoma to build them. "Take away cooked by and Oky" I guess.

Limey, you should also have pointed out to Codders, kindly and with consideration that his beloved manuafcturer of his GPS/plotter ---- was also purchased by a Chinese company. Better also start the rumour that the Chinese are also going to buy Landrover..... That makes sense-- a pre-stone age piece of scrap iron- made by peasants. No disrespect to the PRC intended...

Hi Garf.
What a great idea on a new thread. I could start the ball rolling with some high quality colour photo's of my wife's recent colonoscopy. This procedure had the side benefit of discovering where her brain is located. If you are really interested I could mail you a set of three, signed by the owner; for a small exhorbatant fee of course.
