UK to bake in 33C amid extreme heat warning

[Daggers]

That’s the first time I’ve taken the dogs for a walk at dawn. Lovely sunrise - instant wall of heat.

Going to do my circuit before it becomes unbearable.

Slept absolutely fine. NO trains running from my station today  so can’t go in to do my presentations. Could get used to this!!

Yep, was just about to mention all those whining snowflakes.... get out there and enjoy it! A bit of sun never hurt anyone!

I find it weird that elsewhere the schools are debating whether to open or not. 

 

Wtf are they doing open anyways? It's almost the end of July! 

 

The finest thing about Leicester was its July fortnight and even now, give or take on the 10th July, schools close as a tribute to the second half of that fortnight. Most of July and a soft return back on the thursday before August Bank holiday. Proper summer holiday.

Once, I was so poorly, my mum fed me a bottle of Lucozade like that and I threw all of it back up into our bathroom bin, which doubled as our sick bucket.

 

It tasted glorious.

 

Turned out I had Salmonella 

Lovely taste shame you couldn't keep It!

What a horrendous excuse for a newspaper the Daily Mail is. we have a very real problem, and a very real danger to vulnerable lives today in this heat, and they make light of it by calling people snowflakes because one of their darling royals didn't take his jacket off

[Unabomber]

Why does there seem to be a correlation between the right wing, anti woke, anti vaxxers and climate change? Seems a bit weird to me. It’s as if they feel they all need to believe the same things like a cult.

I think this is one of those headlines where the Mail think they are talking about millennials and Gen Z when this is probably more applicable to Baby Boomers and Gen X as they are more likely to be the ones cancelling trains and planes

 The comment wasn't in response to me. I wouldn't touch the stuff - I was making the point it has the consistency of treacle.

I saw a bottle of McEwans export in the super market the other week, thought I hadn’t seen that for years so treated myself. Had a couple and thought crikey I feel a bit tipsy, had a look at the bottle and it’s 7.2%  I must have just been drinking the standard McEwans years ago. Nice pint mind.

That is beyond disgusting I didn't think the mail could sink any power in my estimation but I was wrong.

They’re in the job to sell. Target market, much like the Sun, is people who have to work today like tradesmen, delivery drivers etc etc. A lot of whom may be thinking ‘I’ve got to work it’s a disgrace everyone else can sit at home doing nothing’ see this headline and SALE. I don’t think this is offensive at all, today Britain will be the butt of jokes worldwide

Absolutely this. The journalists/ editors won't believe most of the guff 'reported' in that paper.

This is a testament to that. This guy is known for having wild opinions and riling people up about mental stuff. As soon as one of the mentallers comes and talks to him, he starts to seem a real normal guy

 

Everyone's in the game to get views, shares, likes and notoriety. The more you share and comment on their stories, the more they'll continue to produce similar stuff.

It’s similar with the far left tbf. I think there are a lot of people these days, on both sides of the spectrum, who put their political views before everything else, including thought in a lot of cases. I definitely used to do this at the time of the referendum and trump election year. Mellowed a lot now and feel happier as a result. 
 

anyway to keep things relevant- it’s soo hot already!
