MooseBreath Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 The metoffice is funded by public money so it's not surprising they start shouting every time the weather spikes in one direction or another. The more in the public eye they are, the more difficult it is to cut their funding. And the newspapers obviously lap it up when the metoffice starts saying WARNING!! WARNING!! PEOPLE ARE DYING! PEOPLE ARE DYING! because it's alarmist which sells papers. I wouldn't describe 28/29ish as a heatwave. It's only a few degrees above long term average. It feels much better because the last few years have been so shit.

purpleronnie Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Atleast someone agrees and understands what i'm saying. Move those goalposts will ya. Around a 5 degree increase for 5 days or more is considered a heatwave. So its a heatwave.
Guest MattP Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 I went naked in my garden today for ten minutes, not done that for years.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 It is pretty fúcking hot though I can only imagine how little the ladies of Liverpool are wearing with weather like this. Even in my head, it's fantastic. Move those goalposts will ya. Around a 5 degree increase for 5 days or more is considered a heatwave. So its a heatwave. YES
purpleronnie Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 I went naked in my garden today for ten minutes, not done that for years. I do that, I walk around the house naked too, the other day someone knocked on my front door and I dived into my kitchen like gordon banks saving that header from pele....turned out to be the postman. Edit: I should point out i had some shorts i had ironed in the kitchen so I was saved....no pun intended.
whoareyaaa Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 I like this weather it makes a change from it just being cloudy with the odd spurts of rain. Plus you get to see all the totty out in there short tops and hot pants.

I used to quite often. Nothing wrong with it at all, comfortable as anything. I had to shift some pants on when the young Polish girl came outside nextdoor.

I had to shift some pants on when the young Polish girl came outside nextdoor. The worse bit is having to put clothes on again, seems a drag even though I love my clothes....if that makes sense. You just get used to not wearing anything.
MooseBreath Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Anyone ever been to a nudist beach? I like the idea from a non-sexual, hippy freedom perspective. Convinced Mrs moose to go to one last weekend but she chickened out at the last minute. Glad she did in the end because upon further searching it turns out that a lot of these nudist beaches are actually dogging spots, and there was quite a few reports online of police being called after dog walkers had stumbled across groups of gays going at it in the sand dunes.
ScouseFox Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 I can only imagine how little the ladies of Liverpool are wearing with weather like this. Even in my head, it's fantastic. There are birds walking round in literally nothing, it's heavenly. It's usually like that in the winter here too in all fairness.

A couple of the South coast of Spain, very relaxing. Friend had the same problem in Greece somewhere, two gays going at. Disgusting. Same reason you can't have a public toilet now anywhere not packed out as you'll end up coming past a few cottagers.

Why can't they just keep that shit behind closed doors like normal people.
Guest MattP Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 F'kin weirdos. Why can't they just keep that shit behind closed doors like normal people. Because being a Slut, causing disruption, offence and shocking people to the hilt seems to come with the territory.
Rincewind Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 They have to live up to their stereotypes to please decent people.
DennisNedry Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 They have to live up to their stereotypes to please decent people. Yeah, that well known stereotype about gay people having sex on nudist beaches This is definitely a heatwave if you consider the temperature compared to our average summer temperatures. Actually look at a map and see how north the UK actually is. For a country so far away from the equator to have 30 degree temperatures for weeks is pretty remarkable. I agree with what some people have said about work in the heat - being unemployed for a few weeks would be great!
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Temperatures have been some four to five degrees hotter here in the South. 35 yesterday, and 34 today It's too hot for me. :eek:

Was in thje radio studio today can't have doors or windows open because of the noise.. Still good.

Every other place along our latitude gets hot summers more or less every year. A lot of places much further north get hotter summers than us. The jet stream is what ruins or for us in summer. It keeps our winters relatively mild too, but for hot weather the UK is very unlucky.

FoxesAreBlue Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Tell you what, it's absolutely GREAT weather for going out in town giving the flyers out. Whoever it is on here who goes on "Poontang Watch" would cream, nothing but totty. I've done that much flyering over the last few weeks that I'm getting a fairly decent and even tan; some of the Regs think I went away for the weekend.
Zingari Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 I do that, I walk around the house naked too, the other day someone knocked on my front door and I dived into my kitchen like gordon banks saving that header from pele....turned out to be the postman. Edit: I should point out i had some shorts i had ironed in the kitchen so I was saved....no pun intended. Phew that was a close call, You wouldn't want to answer the door to the postman if you hadn't got freshly ironed shorts . Does anyone else iron their shorts ?
