The Laser is a wonderful dingy, but it's not a good design for two people. It's also not that forgiving if there's more than a breeze, unless you're fairly experienced.

I'm all for sunny weather when I can enjoy it, but at the moment I'm estimating development effort and am tied to the desk.

You need HM Government's patented random large number generator; a boon for the modern project manager.

Diving in warm weather in the UK can be a joy: may head up to Stoney Cove at the weekend for a dip, assuming that it remains as glorious as it is now!

Brilliant M. Enjoy it!

I'm a crap diver - I love it, but lack the physical agility (and to be honest, fitness) to really go for it.

And these same people dream about living in Spain or Australia.

It's fantastic.

Not so quick:

"An official heatwave is likely to be declared in Britain today, with temperatures in the south likely to hit 33C (91.4F) later this week.

If officials raise the threat level from amber to red, measures including putting social services and hospitals on alert for a wave of casualties of scorching days and sleepless nights will come in to force."

There is only one way to put a stop to this madness. We must nuke the sun. NOW.

What class of dinghy are you sailing this weekend, do you know

Not sure what class it is.

This is not a competitive event, you understand, just a couple of old land-lubbers arsing around in a very small, very old, boat.

[BlackenedBiker]

Dinghy sailing is great fun. The more crap and old the dinghy is, the better it is.

I try to avoid actual capsising. I no longer smoke, but in my teens I really got pissed off when the boat was capsised and my fags were soaked

A couple of years I did similar in a little Lazer (dingy). Lovely day.
Out of nowhere - huge storm.
I capsized 5 times before I got back to lake-shore.
Huge fun.

I'm off to Selsey tonight and spend a couple of days sailing my brother-in-law's (probably unseaworthy) dingy. Warm will do me nicely!

What is needed is some form of personal micro-climate which I can control at a whim...

[sasguru]

It's lovely.

I love warm weather.

Britain is a frozen, rainy shytehole for 9 months of the year, and when the sun peeps out, people go bonkers complaining about it.

Phew! What a scorcher!

WHS. Looking forward to sitting in the garden under the apple tree, watching Winbledon and sipping a Pimms. Bliss

Are you bringing it home on a bike too?
