    Flipping heating is stuck on in our office. :eek::eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    I'm shrivelling up here. :(

    Stuck in an office with no air conditioning and I think it's actually cooler outside than in here. :eek: :(:(:(


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Air Con is on in boards.hq and my wee USB DeskFan is on overdrive. I'm managing. The trip out to Dunnes for lunch was not plesant. I have a softball game to play later on too and just realised I left my mitt at home so need to go get it quick! *melts*

    Too bloody hot. I get irritable in hot weather. If this continues I may have to destroy the sun.

    The cancer ball has it coming. You will find no friends of it here.

    Bah. I retreat to the other side of the house, and glare reflects off the car window outside straight into my eyes. That bloated sack of hydrogen fusion is pushing it.

    Oh, wait, a cloud. About bloody time!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Seriously I got to go out in it in about 15 minutes. It better behave.

    I put on sunscreen to walk to the shop at lunchtime. There will be no burning of skin!

    The one I bought at the weekend was factor 50+, for "sun intolerant skin", hehe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I have to sit on a train for 2.5 hours this evening in this heat... I shall just fill up a large water bottle and read my book. I've also already been out in it today for a run this morning.

    I'm also amazed that I'm not sunburnt after yesterday, I'm too pale for this weather!

    Hope you don't have to travel in the older train carriages still in service. Otherwise you'll know how microwave popcorn feels:eek:

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Some evil woman just tried to tempt me out to the beach with promises of shirtlessness.

    I saw through her evil glamour though.

    If she comes back with promises of pantslessness it's your duty to go!

    I may have spent the morning snoozing in the backgarden with the dog. :cool:

    Duty nothing. I have my principles, and I'm sticking to them. She can come back when the rain starts.

    Yesterday it was 33C in central Illinois and my glasses steamed up as soon as I left the library building. Even in the shade you get gusts of hot wind! :( I've been drinking Gatorade before work, keeps me cool.

    I can't face it anymore. I'm holed up inside where it is cool.

    And all the Mr. Frezzers were sold out in my local.
    AND I have a million new freckles.

    If you get rain you have to share and send some my way.

    That works for me. I am avoiding going to bed because I'll just be waking up every 10 minutes from the heat. I need to be up early. There's a problem here.

    Clearly you should shamble to the beach, strip of your clothes and curl up on a damp, dank and fetid rock and sleep.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    They all dried out :(

    I have to sit on a train for 2.5 hours this evening in this heat...
    I was on 3 trains to-day, 2 quite long journeys and a short one ...

    They were the new ones though, and the AIR-CON WORKED ON ALL THREE!! :eek:

    They were actually very cool and pleasant!

    What on earth has happened to Irish Rail?! :confused::confused:

    It's actually the humidity that gets to me, I cope grand with dry heat ...

    I've been able to keep the outdoor activities to a minimum, but Terminator Salvation must be seen today. And there's no sun cream to put on my head. And it's too hot to wear my beanie.:mad::(

    Am I forgiven if I love the sun? My blood is too mediterranean not to love it.
    Forgiven? Eh? Yes, right? ^_^

    *looks out window* Oh good another cloudy, somewhat chilly day. We had a frost warning the other night actually. Should the evil sun return I shall be retiring to my basement to sleep.
