Windows open.
Pint of Vimto + ice.
No more trousers.
I'm tempted to open the side case on my PC in the hopes of the fan cooling my feet a little. Or I could just fall asleep watching tv downstairs again. Its alot cooler down there.

The ones around here have yet to grasp the complexities of curtains - i.e. getting to the other side of them.

I agree, English bugs are retarded.
Now, I have a catch 22 situation.
I either open my window, thus letting cool air in and being refreshed, but get woken up by the f***ing 6am express to MAnchester Piccadilly
OR i leave my Window closed, and cook in silence.
HELP!!!

I'm using the computer in the dark. Moths attracted to the CRT phosphorescence.
A sizable embassy has come and gone while I've been here. Small, big, lively, calm. Quite dull really.

Take a shower before bed and sleep without sheets.
Helps a lot.
Oh yeah, and since I've been living in conditions like this for 19 years, welcome to my world.

You're worried people won't know you're a Maplin employee by your complete lack of knowledge and disinterest in customer needs?
No need for a badge from what you've told us so far.

What's the problem? Go to Focus or B&Q and buy one of those quiet fans and leave it on all night. That's what I do, no probs. Stop whining.

We're British, we're therefore meant to moan about the weather whatever it is. On the other hand it is bloody hot and humid and it's only 10am :/
(Hot meaning it's going to get to somewhere between 30 and 35 C today)

That's Florida, it's expected to be hot there fs!
This is Britain. It's meant to be cold and raining which is why every house is equipped with central heating and has any possible form of ventilation securely closed.

Weak British pussies
Complaining when it's raining, and now it's nice weather they are still complaining.
OK, it's a tad warm, but when you sit very still and don't do too much you're fine.
Take an example to the French... it's hot there, but they do jack **** and still manage to survive.

It's just a bit of heat. Uncomfortable, but that's all. Although if it gets MUCH hotter, it'll disrupt homeostasis and the like, and all the friendly bacteria will denaturise.

considering that here its normal a stable 35 degrees, and that when you go to bed you soon become soaked
yes i mean soaked
in sweat, and you cant stop thinking " its too ****ing hot to sleep" and then you think about the tests and the classes in the next day, well its enough to put people in agony =(
its like a nightmare you see
you have no freaking idea what the sentence "too hot to sleep" means =(

now now. How humid does it get down there? I lived in a place for 21 years that in summer time liked to get upto 80-100 degrees with 60-100% humidity AND NO RAIN. I'll take the 100 degree dry days here anyday over that.

after it rains it gets to about 70% humidity and about 80 degrees.
Makes you feel like ****. Although I will admit that I have experienced the 100% humidity and 100 degrees combination, it was in a place that I could easily go inside and cool off with central air. Here we have a swamp cooler. WHICH IS ABSOLUELY POINTLESS WHEN IT'S HUMID
