When using the word, "just", one must be careful," just", could span a
millisecond or a millennium.

Well, if you follow the river itch ,to where it bends 90 degrees, cross the
jaggy plank,then follow the footpath for three miles, then follow the river
leam for 4 miles in a southerly direction, you will se Kias place.

Really... Considering all the superficialness that I've indulged myself with my Disney addictions (obsession?), I'd say that I've taken an almost permanent vacation from the "factual world". But don't tell my boss that! :)

Uh oh, have we sucked Zz into the nether world of hapiness and bliss that is GD?

No Zz, you still have too much knowledge to offer the world. But you are now one of us, so your Disney addiction offers us a world of delight. :approve: :smile:

Wot? Mercury has climbed into the 20s has it? :smile: Dastardly inconsiderate of it, wouldn't you say old boy? We certainly didn't tolerate any of *that* sort of nonsense when I was a young lass!

20's is hot? Geez, I've been outside working half the day (the hot half of course :rolleyes: ) and I'm sitting here as the sun is near to setting looking at the thermometer that's reading 30 (yes, that's C)...that looks to be about 84 F, and it's just cool enough to relax out on the deck comfortably. Of course I might have preferred if this was the temperature in the midday sun rather than at sunset. Oops, got to go let a lightning bug back out, it seems to have wound up on the wrong side of the screen.

But my dear Moonbeam, our fellow PFers are in *England*, remember? Warwickshire, and delightfully pleasant other shires! It's the place where the horses sweat, the men perspire, and the women glow. And the reason the do that is because 'hot', in BBC English, means 'above 20' :wink:

So when brewnog says 'hot hot heat', he probably means ~22 C :eek:

important stuff, stuff that could decide our destiny so from

Yeah, my mercury reached 32 C the other day, so less of that thanks Nereid and Moonbear!

Did you USians hear about that train which got stranded with no power the other day? The air conditioning and electric doors couldn't operate. Apparently temperatures reached 120 Fahrenheit, people were fainting all over the place, they had to smash windows to escape in the end. Now that's hot.

There are degrees of badness, some think being bad is having a good time,
but believe me LISA, my old badness did not bring any joy, only pain scars
and sorrow, enjoy yourself to the full and be happy.

Ah you should come over to our quaint little town of Royal Leamington Spa.
For mid week we recorded temperatures as outrageously hot as 37C - definitely not the weather for working in.
