Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Blog Thread II: Beyond Blogosphere.
Josefbugman:
Congratulations on the cooling, please send excess warmth to the UK, its freakin' freezing here.
Also: dear blog thread, am up and about despite the fact that I fell asleep far too late and after a stupid amount of vodka. I am now going to town to get myself stuff for dinner, and then I am going to the gym. I am just finding it rather strange and rather fun to be busy.
Also, anyone know what I can do with chopped tommato, chicken, sweetcorn and rice? Was planning on cooking them al together (well except the rice ofc) but I am more than happy to hear what other people have to say so I don't poison myself.

It is worth noting that "freezing" in the UK has a different meaning from elsewhere. I have been perfectly comfortable (sensibly wrapped up) in -20C in northern Sweden; but the UK has a special kind of cold that freezes you from inside starting with the bone marrow, regardless of your clothing, even when water is still liquid. Mind you, I am still cycling to work with open sandals and no socks, but I am only exposed for 8 minutes doing that.
But when I get to work, the heating is faulty in my area... It's a big building, so it's not bad really - nothing like what's required to invoke our law that says that if the temp at work doesn't reach 16C within an hour of the start of work you are entitled to go home without penalty (but they don't have to pay you either, which seems a pretty big penalty to me).
Brrr!
Spluff:
Not long after a refreshing cool change hit the city (I have to say, I hope it never gets to that temperature again. Official temperature was 46.5 C., but in some places it was recorded as 48 C.), somebody must have decided to punish us even further, cutting power to the whole city. The radio stations, traffic lights, everything but places that had their own power (hospital), was down. We couldn't even stop to refuel the car, because the bowsers needed electricity to work. I just barely made it back home with the petrol in the tank.

I didn't ask her out, because she might have a boyfriend, but hang outs were offered (mutually even) the next time we both have the same night off. Hopefully she does not have a boy in her life and then I will be the boy in her life.
Gemmwah:
That's gotta be some bull, Paul, because of the chillers at my work, the store never actually reaches 16 C. Tis bloody freezin'.
