It's too hot for work
 

I am off next week, just as well with temperatures in the U.K up in the 90's.Fahrenheit. Today some staff fell sick in the office as we hit 102.F and we have to grin and bare it. And why, because there is no legal limit on the temperatures in England, what's the story around the world?

Air conditioners.

Welcome to the 21st century! :yep:

No good, with all the heat from computer's and all the office equipment they render air conditioners useless.

I'm sure that doesn't apply to feeling sick. Go home!

Tell the boss that one; he will think you’re a slacker. Welcome to the world of the British boss.

Drink lots and lots of water and it should keep the heat from becoming a health problem. Heat usually causes problems when people underestimate the about a fluids they are loosing to sweat and evaporation. A person can loos several liters in a few hours. Gotta keep hydrated.

Forget about the water, drink a glass of liquid-Nitrogen and you're set. :up:

The heat is playing havoc with my overclocked PC. What was a nice stable overclock this winter has become, since June, so flaky and unstable that I'm almost back to running stock again. :cry:

You think that is bad whislt im awaiting to be pushed out into college up in liverpool (merchant navy) i have a small but realy stinky job !

Yes thats right i come round and collect the rubbish bins or trash to the americans, just immagine that heat coupled with rotting food maggots and the smell, and you office workers keep complaining that your lives are hard! il trade any day well maybe not £9.85 per hour job and knock i dont think any office job could compete :D

Heh, I dread to think what the temperatures are like in our restaurant, there's no air conditioning, the carvery unit chucks out at least 30-40oC, and we have to wear long-sleeved shirts and waistcoats :damn:

Apparently we're meant to be getting a £10K air-con unit fitted in the restaurant, but I'm betting it won't arrive until winter, when it's nice to have a warm restaurant when it's chucking it down with rain outside and blowing a force 5-6 off the North Sea ;)

Hot in the UK? Lol, you don't know what hot is. :lol:

I bet the folks in Bosnia do though, where temperatures have reached 60C this week (140F) - the hottest in a century.

This I read in an article discussing a freak hail storm in Germany:

More and more I am reminded of that move "The Day after Tomorrow"; its a good thing that there is no such thing as Global Warming, or if there is, that it is at least merely an entirely natural occurence and not at all man-made. After all, as those new ExonMobil commercials point out:

"Carbon Dioxide, it is essential to life. We breathe it out, plants breathe it in... they call it pollution, we call it life." :rotfl:

Don't you blimming dare complain about the heat! :stare: Or I'll point you to the post where you said you only recycle because the council forces you too.

p.s. Enjoy the global warming. :sunny::yep::p

It's 60C degrees in Bosnia? Lol, yeah, if that's true, it beats the highest temp in history of Europe by a whopping 10C ;)

"some spots"... must be under a giant looking glass

I think someone got confused with Fahrenheit. :roll: Just did a check and it's pretty much normal for this time of year.
