What About This ******* Weather?

My youngest son is currently sitting in a plane at Dublin Airport. His flight to L*t*n has been delayed because the runway at L*t*n has melted! No doubt they paid some local pikeys cash in hand to lay it

 

I looked on Google Maps to find the most central main town in Ireland, and I found Tullamore in Co Offaly, where it was indeed predicted to reach 32. Very rare that it reaches 30 anywhere in Ireland, similar story in Scotland (predicted 31 Mon-Tues in Edinburgh which usually has pretty cool summers).

 

News broadcasts all having the same oafish idea, filming at zoos. Truly depressing state of them.

Wtf are we doing allowing them to keep Polar Bears in our climate or Orangutans at all?

Close them all down.

 

And enthusing kids who become enthused adults who become conservationists.

 

The UK is sadly just a sorry little country where a huge fuss is made of even the smallest things, where people need little excuse to down tools and stop providing the service they’re paid to give, and where enjoying oneself seems frowned upon.

It’s an island that enjoys a pitiful climate most of the year, yet on the rare days the sun actually shines then you can’t switch on your tv without hearing people telling you it might kill you to step outside, or giving you patronising advice such as drink some water.

This heatwave will last for two days. Let that sink it. Two days. Not two weeks. Not two months. But 48 hours. Yet they will have you believe it’s the apocalypse.

It’s no wonder the UK is the laughing stock of the rest of Europe.

Pathetic.

 

People have been getting on with stuff, like providing essential services. I find people who moan like this usually never provide anything essential and are life’s eternal killjoys trying to convince the rest of us their dreary scepticism means they are happy go lucky.

And we have a lovely climate, so give it a rest. Go read your Daily Mail on the beach.

 

Times of Malta dear, not the Daily Mail!

 

People need to walk their dogs first thing. Just need to get up v early.

 

You have a three hour snooze in Malta from 1pm - 4pm. All that is happening here is people are wondering what adaptations they need to make. It will be dangerous during these hot days for people in Britain to carry on in exactly the same way.

Talking that through isn’t a national character flaw.

 

Even as a kid I hated zoos. I've always liked aquariums though. Maybe because fish aren't as cute and fluffy as some animals

 

I’m not in Malta and all I was doing in my original post was making some personal observations about the British character and how some are over-reacting to a 48 hour spell of unusual weather.

Nothing in my post criticised anybody specifically on this forum, so I’m bemused why you’ve insulted me in your reply. I find it quite hurtful tbh so I will leave this discussion. It’s for the best.

Stay safe in the heat and all the best for the coming season.

 

Are you OK Malteser? That's most unlike you.

 

Get up earlier. I walked my dog at 530am today. Even then it was a shorter walk due to it being very warm still

 

I'm afraid we've become a nation so obsessed with doom that even a nice sunny day is now regarded as a portent of impending disaster - not something to be enjoyed

 

Uh oh, another weather warning for the people of Watford to content with:

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse

 

Don't worry, I'm sure the sirens on top of Met Office HQ will sound the all clear soon.

 

Closing windows and curtains when it's hot and sunny outside just sounds unbelievably miserable.

 

Yeah. What do these southern europeans know ?
How does that song go ? "Mad dogs and southern europeans, close their windows and curtains in the midday sun" ??

 

It’s nearly 38 outside. Why would anyone want to sit in 38 degrees?

 

Records broken. Over 40 degrees at Heathrow.

 

Airports are often muggy hotspots too, with poor aircon.

Pembrokeshire is very nice.

 

yep, heavy rain much of the morning. https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar

 

I'm in Greece too! Beautiful pool, sea and air con.

 

I’m greased up.

 

Wife is now 40 weeks plus 5. Baby probably up around 8lbs now going off the last growth scan.

She is not particularly good company at the minute.
