It's too hot for work

[scandium]

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.

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

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

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:

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

Spots baked by the sun had reached temperatures of 60 degrees in Bosnia this week, according to the Sarajevo weather office, which said the previous seven days had been the hottest for a century

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

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

33°C in the south east on Tuesday, the radio is saying it will be 45°C on Friday, I hope they got that wrong.

The trouble we have here, is are heat is full of moister which makes it even worst for you unlike arid heat, I remember some couple of years ago on a real scorcher of a day, I was walking behind a business man who was speaking to a Arab man. He said something long the lines this heat wave reminds you of home, and the reply from the Arab man was, this heat is very bad for you.

45C in the UK?? Is that normal?

It's never reached over 40 in the UK...so if it gets to 45...

...I hope you're flipping happy STEED...all your fault for not "wanting" to recycle...council...huh.

..hope they dump another ten bins on your lawn!

That came from the radio, that bit of info. After some checking by me it is clear the radio station that gave out that forecast is very wrong, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :p

Fat chance, in my local paper I see my council are withdrawing all these bins, because people are sick to the back teeth with them. Victory to us over the council.:p

Give it a few months and you'll be looking back at that job with fond memory.

Cause, you know, nothing ever stinks in the merchant navy. And it's never too hot at sea... And being a cadet obviously pays better than that... :hmm:

STAND BY ENGLAND OVER 100°F IS ON THE CARDS TOMORROW.

London underground got up to 120°F yesterday, come on this is a joke and the buses were even hotter up to 140°F and these record will be broken tomorrow.

[jumpy]

today 18 july is going to be roasty-toasty, possibly up to 34c and, according to the weather n00bs, humidity is going to be up this week too.
Compared to living in Bahrain the UK temperatures are tame, but having said that over there it's hot all the time so you get used to it. Here, on the other hand, we have no chance to become accustomed to the 'heat wave' such as it is. No sooner than we break out the t-shirts and all those tasty young laydeeez with their skimpy summer clothing magically appear everywhere, then the hot weather is gone and all of the 'blooming flowers' go and hide away again

Right now the office airconditioning is giving me goosebumps and making me shiver

Great loads of lovely maggots n rotten food to look forward too.
