Andre the Giant singlet? Short shorts. One of ours got the sack for repeatedly wearing his hi vis with nothing on underneath in the hot weather. Walking around like a health and safety conscious Stone Cold defying his bosses until the end. Edited July 15, 2022 by Mr_Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2022 It was alright today at about 17ish. I dread to think how it's going to be next week if it reaches the temperatures that have been forecast. Fans and Rose are selling like. Hotcakes, though. Isn't there legislation where you can't work if the temperature goes above 38? Although I could see the Tories rolling that back, or increasing the threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for those that work from home it's "best of luck". My place is all WFH and I don't know as we've had any official guidance but I've canned all meeting for my team on the hottest days and convincing them to take time off if they can or if not to move their hours around so they can avoid working during the worst of it and get anything needed done when it's a bit cooler and maybe more bearable to be sat at a PC.

wordsfromlee Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I thought there was a minimum but I know there’s no maximum other wise people who work in kitchens and smelting factory’s etc would never be allowed to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 People moaning about a bit of summer weather. You don't see the Saudi's crying, do you? They just get on with it. Take your lead from our brothers in (sold) arms and stick on a bit of lotion and enjoy the rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted July 16, 2022 Members Share Posted July 16, 2022 Interesting. The office I'm in is very well aerated (I can't think of the word I'm thinking of) and I'd actually rather be there than the flat, which is stupidly stuffy...but obviously I'd rather not have to commute ever, let alone in upper 30s heat. To paraphrase Bill Hicks, only lizards enjoy that type of heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another discovery today is this. If you freeze half a bottle of water overnight and put another bottle of water in the fridge overnight, you pour half in the frozen one the day after and you instantly get very cold but drinkable ice water. I took only the frozen one outside expecting it to melt quick. It didn't so I got my dad's very cold refrigerated water and poured it into my frozen one, shook it up, and presto! I genuinely have no fucking idea what you've just suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted July 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2022 I'd never have thought to cool down by chilling water and adding ice to my drink. It's insights like that that keep me logging in here after all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 On a forum where people can’t shit properly and shag their cousins at funerals, finding a convoluted way to have cold water doesn’t seem so wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted July 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2022 My half bottle of bath-water tastes funny, even after adding my half bottle of fridge water and half bottle of frozen water (this one was really hard to pour out too). Are we sure 6 minutes was the sweet spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
