🗣️ General Discussion 🗣️ The Weather Thread

So does my 8 speed digital oscillating floor standing fan...


60 quid.

Almost every day I think about how the electric fan was one of the best inventions ever. I always have at least one running. Literally 24 hours a day

Refrigerators are up there on the best invention list too

I wish there was a thermostat for the outside.

 

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Also; does the air conditioner cause irresistible temptation to buy more air conditioners?

I can see it definitely forming a physical dependence, resulting in instant heat stroke when you dare to step outside.

I forgot about those. I fell into one on a nature trip as a kid and had bumps all over me for a day

99% of the time dock leaves grow right next to, or very close to nettles, and they soothe nettle stings amazingly well. Nature couldnt possibly have organised that combination of plants any better. Presumably they must like the same conditions to grow in, considering how often you find them side by side.

Dock leaves are also meant to be great for wiping your arse with too, according to the TV survivalist types. I've never had the need to try it out but I can imagine they'd be great. Soothing and moisturising on top of being cleansing.

Bit like playing Russian roulette though, especially if it's dark and you're wasted

Talk about ring sting...

 

[Bleaney]

Sounds like you're talking from experience there!

No, im just good at predicting potential problems...

Average Londoner right now

Londoners aren't all black you know.


Some of them are Asian

Yeh, I had to put a hoodie on yesterday afternoon.

Never satisfied us lot are we?

 

[new2drugs]

Don't take cocaine when it's hot. Makes me feel awful

 

[Jnowhere]

That's not really a fun thing to joke or speculate about because it does kill people, mostly the elderly and people with dementia who can't react to overheating or ask for help.

Would love to keep this thread jovial so if we can draw the line at joking about death tolls I would appreciate it.

The reason hot weather causes so much trouble here is because it only happens for a few weeks a year and not every year so the infrastructure to deal with it just isn't there.

Okay sorry for the reality check back to banter.

Banter

I think it's the general concept of weather which offends me.

Noted, shall endeavour to preserve cocaine stash for the long cold winter. What would be the perfect summer drug anyway?

Banter

Somebody get this man an ice cold drink.

 

[Shinji Ikari]

Bit windy innit

 

[Fire&Water]

Complaining about natural occurences which have zero control
gives me less hope in humanity

 

[Shinji Ikari]

Yeah windy...

 

[Ismene2]

Its too cold.

 

[Fire&Water]

Yeah whiney

 

[Fire&Water]

Its too old.
