    Jasus, if Enya can do that to you think of the seismic movement that Ms Danielle O Donnell could cause.

    We are sleeping in the parents recently insulated converted garage. It is like a bunker, you cannot here a thing in here if you shut the door. My oh said he didn't sleep last night with the heat. I dunno, it is warm but it feels nice. I hate the cold though so maybe this is my perfect temperature. I have been to hot hot countries with unbearable heat. Even being naked with air con hasn't cooled me down. So this weather isnt bad at all tbf.

    This overused argument is, always has been and always will be absolute nonsense. It's the same as making someone go outside with no clothes on, and they moan about that, and when you make them go out instead with ten jackets on, they moan about that too - and your responses is "You're never happy!!"

    You'll get used to it - that's the beauty of the human body, we have the ability to adapt to different climates.

    I actually turned my fan off tonight because it's only 15/16*C here. Last year was much worse, but I still welcomed the heat with open arms.

    People need to insulate their houses more.

    I think they just need to get out more, I found it to be a bit chilly in the shade today and yesterday.

    When they are stuck inside with central heating systems on full blast and watching 7 hours of soap a day the immune system goes to wreck. Fresh air and the outdoors is the key.

    Spent the Summer in heatwave-ridden Chicago a couple of years back. Shared a bedroom on the 3rd floor with 3 others and no air conditioning - that was unbearable. Had to get plastered drunk and sleep with an ice pack every night to have any chance of sleeping. :P

    It's so muggy any kind of physical activity has me dripping in sweat, I only get out of the shower and I feel yucky again, it's horrible. I really dislike heat, I really dislike this, heavy, muggy crap. I love the Autumn and Winter, my favourite time of year by a long shot, I have never visited a hot country and have no plans to unless it is the cool period of the year, I cannot deal with this crap, it makes me grumpy and petulant. I get that to some people this is nothing and they don't think people should be complaining but I just hate it, the same way a lot of people hate the cold.

    Our air con was broken last week and the temp was 33 degrees in the bedroom. Now that's unbearable!

    We had a blackout for two hours when I was going to bed yesterday(storms must have knocked out a power line) so I couldn't turn the air con on. 27°C and 90% humidity.

    Ended up dragging the bed half way across the room in the dark so I can sleep right under the ceiling fan :o

    The humidity and the bollocks who insulated my house more than any house needs to be insulated.

    If your house is well insulated it will stay cooler than the outside. Go into some of these old stone cottages with 18" walls - cool :cool:. The heat is coming from the sun not from inside. You're right about the humidity though. Our sort of tempretures are pretty piss poor compared to Spain and the Med.

    Physics huh - who knew?:cool:

    I find it hard to believe that anyone would prefer cold, rainy, miserable weather than what we have now. Y'know, it being summertime and all that.
