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:

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

One thing that's gets over looked here is how many very young children and old age pensioners will die in this heat. Remember the last one a couple of years ago they put the figure of O.A.P'S deaths over three hundred, it's about time the government stopped talking about it and do something for a change.

The problem we have is yo-yo temperatures which change to fast in the U.K and all that moister in the heat knocks the heck out of you, it’s time for employer’s to wake up to that fact as well sitting in an office over 100°F is no joke at all.

Todays office temperature hit 119°F people were bitter to each other and we had a right ding dong of an argument. No It was nothing to do with me, heat waves bring out the monster in people it's not safe out there. And tomorrow will be even hotter Ole better check my life insurance.

Two words: Global Warming.

PS: There is an upshot: Global Warming (or more accurately and PC "Climate Change") paradoxically creates deep freeze effect as well

Big Freeze to Sweep over China

China, already enduring its coldest winter in 20 years, is preparing for a cold snap that will see temperatures drop by as much as 16 degrees Centigrade (29 degrees Fahrenheit).

Northern China, where temperatures are already as low as minus 15-20 degrees Celsius, will feel the strongest effects of the cold front, which is sweeping in from Mongolia and western Siberia, the China Daily reported.
