Yet the gaffers were on his side and it was fucking BAKING in that office at times. They would buy boxes of ice pops some days to try and keep people cool.

NJS 3960 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I've had a panicked sheep moment and have ordered a portable aircon unit for delivery tomorrow. I know they aren't ideal and might be a bit shit but hopefully will make some difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record is 38.7C. And people still deny climate change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3960 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I keep thinking about it every heatwave but haven't bothered - especially when out all day in the old world. Towards 40 is ridiculous so thought it was time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8868 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) My philosophy is to beat the heat with wheat. I bought a couple of crates of wheat beer to keep myself cool. It’s the most refreshing thing you can have, especially if you put your glass in the freezer before. Edited July 15, 2022 by Isegrim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here say drink tea to keep cool, because it makes you sweat. Err, okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, fuck the team who work under me, I’ll just doss for the rest of the day 🙄 Jesus man, they genuinely can't cope without you for half a shift? Fair play, I'd struggle to cope with that level of responsibility. How do you even manage to get a lunch break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3181 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I’ve got an awesome and cheap way of staying cool in summer, it’s called living in Scotland. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperature and wind-chill factor aside, that neck of the woods always reminds me of that scene in Independence Day. 38 minutes ago, Renton said: That explains Jesus and Mary Chain then. Absolutely. EK was probably both their curse and blessing. Psychocandy would have been a totally different animal if they were based a few miles up the road in sunny Bathgate.

Aye, and the maximum forecast for Monday and Tuesday is 28°, according to Met. Office.

Kid Dynamite 5888 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'm at the Riverside for the ODI on Tuesday. 36c! Worst heat I've ever experienced was July in Florida. I spent a week in 40c heat, standing in the middle of a field with no shade for 6 hours a day, booting footballs about. I was drinking something like 10litres of water a day and just sweating it straight back out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met office says max 23C in Tynemouth today, max 27C tomorrow, both perfectly manageable. BBC says 29C today, and 34C tomorrow. That's quite a range. I guess the Met office, who have a station in Tynemouth Pruory, will be more reliable. Edit: although the live reading says 26C right now and it feels like it, so maybe the Met is talking shite!
