Raj Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 Today,the 21st of June marks the Summer Solstice (actually at 7.06pm!!!) Scientifically its when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun. Basically it means we get loads more daylight hours! (just thought you should all be aware....Moderators,please feel free to delete if deemed unworthy!
lookwhaticando Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 Point one: exceptional. It's been a long time coming. Point two: don't feel the need to include a message to the moderators. We don't like to be told how to do our jobs. One day your instructions might come back to haunt you. :D

Lillehamring Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 Continuing the spirit of pointless but intriuging information, just thought i'd share the official timings for today aswell as the extra 2 hours of daytime we get, mind you 'sunset' is a bit misleading as it only ever manages a sort of dusk here - great if you're out at a barbeque or party, crap if you want to sleep! leicester: Sunrise: 4:40 am Sunset: 9:32 pm Oslo: Sunrise: 3:49 am Sunset: 10:46 pm
Daggers Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 What the fudge is this thread all about? Not one mention of interfering with squid, grey boogies or Elvis Hammond... Delete this nonsense forthwith!

Lord Nibblington Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 Speak for yourself, Hollybobs, it's hot and sunny down here in Maidstone.Sun shines on the righteous, pet, remember that. Yes, but you are surrounded by Lizzie Duke Clown Chain wearing Idiots.
Manwell Pablo Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 Yes, but you are surrounded by Lizzie Duke Clown Chain wearing Idiots. And Warm White Lightening Cider, apparently, so I hear.
Daggers Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 Flying the face of Stez's warning. The Mods never come into this thread anyway, it's far too rough a neighbourhood for them
cisono Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 Going out tomorrow and I bet it's going to rain really badly
samingram_uk Posted 21 June 2007 Posted 21 June 2007 summer begins for me 23rd july, summer hoildays begin wooo
Lillehamring Posted 23 June 2007 Posted 23 June 2007 makes up for dark winters.no one realises how great summers are here - on the gulf stream, its been 30 degrees just lately. hasn't stopped raining for 36 hours -
Daggers Posted 23 June 2007 Posted 23 June 2007 Oooh Daggers.Flying in the face of Stez's warning. Rebels without a cause, we are. (ps did anyone have any luck in finding us a cause?) Shocking! First IShouldKoko gets moderated, then me. The world has gone mad. I am going to pen a letter in the strongest possible terms. Who do these so-called Mods think they are? I didn't fight in two World Wars and the Falklands to be treated in a manner so lacking of dignity. What the hell do I pay my poll tax for?
cisono Posted 23 June 2007 Posted 23 June 2007 summer begins for me 23rd july, summer hoildays begin wooo Kind of same here. Why am I not that thrilled about that then?
