No worries. In summer if your hot and sweaty and theirs no creek or beach near by you sweat it out, spend all day hot then nights its worse - plus summer attracts all the nasties like flies, spiders weird looking bugs and then comes those damn crickets in their thousands :damn:

Give me winter any day

That's exactly what I say! In winter at least you can add layers and get warmer. In summer, if you get down to your skin and you're still miserable, you're just stuck with it.

I like having four seasons every year, but if I had a choice between a mild winter and a mild summer, I'd take the mild summer every time.

The heat of summer never brought me to death's doorstep, while the cold of winter has.
Looking forward to the long, warm days of summer.

How cheap is pneumonia and a stay in the hospital ?

Indeed! :salute:

This is why I like Wisconsin.

In the military it got you out of the winter camp. Which was nice. Having a very high fever wasn't that nice.

I wonder how the myriad of homeless people are doing in the UK and around Europe.

TarJak 01-09-10 03:39 PM

Freezing their whatsits off of course.

Whilst you Northern Hemisphere ice cubes have had your brass monkeys balls being frozen off, Down Under we have been sweltering. 40C yesterday in Sydney and last night at 23:00 it was still 30C! Woke up just now and it's back to 33C already and it's only 07:30! I understand it was hotter in Adelaide and Melbourne yesterday as well!

Reece 01-09-10 07:22 PM

Yes and it's amazing how the various governments bury their heads saying "Global warming - bah, humbug!":-?

Just a disclaimer, that was taken at least three summers ago, and I've put on a little weight since then. But I'm happy to report that the hormone therapy did finally get rid of the beard.
