Reply to: What a scorcher

Despite it being scorchio, you still need a wet suit if you want a dip in an English sea*


* unless you sport an inch+ of blubber, which no doubt qualifies most of CUK

What a green and pleasant land England is this evening.

Yes I will, the Dutch are completely clued up when it comes to cycling. Unlike here, where it's iffy. We just cycled down the lanes where we live and had some close calls. Ended up cutting the ride short.

There's no such thing as having to wear cycling gear or helmets over here, most people cycle to work in suits etc..

Only people who wear cycling gear is if they are cycling more than 14 kilomoters, anything less you don't get kitted up. Most of the cycle lanes don't cross major roads and bikes have precedence anyway. So if you as a driver hit a cyclist, then you are to blame ( so I've been told).

You'll like it in cloggers, they have proper cycle paths here two lanes and everything.

My birthday is in spring, and I have always had nice weather, quite strangely always. The week before my birthday this year was really tulip, then suddenly, it got sunny, and has stayed fairly sunny since. Properly nice this weekend, although I am slightly pink tinged from cycling loads.

I used to like Spring, but it was awful this year (until last week).

Humans like 23 C best allegedly. I wonder where is the most temperate climate on Earth. Up a mountain near the equator possibly, or near a cool body of water.

I'm from Ireland 23C doesn't exist and neither does the sun (we have one season and it is called Rain).

Need to invest in a aircon unit

Even my wife is starting to complain. I think her best months are Spring, Autumn and Winter...

She'll hate the 4 weeks in Poitou-Charentes in August

People round our way are starting to moan now.

So pleased we have a/c at home.....

No one has complained about the weather in this thread, perhaps you should provide an example or quit moaning about moaning.

"What a scorcher" is not a complaint btw, it's a salute to a famous Sun headline.

Sorry?

Hey stop moaning about moaning about moaning about moaning!



Happy to oblige

Okay, there is no limit to the numbers of nested moaning abouts possible (no limit to moaning), try it with "s/he said, s/he said...". How deep can you go?

Hey stop moaning about moaning about moaning about moaning!

I'm reminded of standing in a porch aged somewhere between 3 and 5 wondering how far one could make sense of "s/he* said that s/he said that s/he said..." and wondering how many levels down one could go. Or perhaps it was "s/he though s/he thought..." or something similar. Not that I'm implying your mental age is 3 or anything.

*s/he meaning "he or she", a word I made up
