do the kids still play with the "gas tar" bubbles in the street ?

Re: How are you all staying cool?
 

I mentioned this only yesterday and was damn tempted to pop one :D

Re: How are you all staying cool?
 

It's just been on the news that the tar on our roads is melting in the heat. I used to love popping tar bubbles as a kid but got into trouble plenty of times for coming home covered in tar.

I left my hair wet after a shower last night and it kept me cool for several hours (I have a lot of hair). The only problem is that because it has dried naturally without styling, I now look like a gollywog..:D

Driving from Ribchester to Whalley yesterday, some of the back roads were melting. It was like driving through treacle. The newer roads were fine but the back road from the De Tabley towards Brockhall were terrible.

Happily the tread on my new tyres is still legal and not gunked up with tar.:)

well its too hot so i opened the windows....only to find all the flies in accrington invade my house......so i open the door and try shooing the little beasts out....hmm why is it that flies can get into your house through the tiniest crack ...but couldnt get out even if you took the whole side off and pointed them in the right direction? wierd eh?!

I heard that in Cumbria yesterday they were sending out council vehicles full of water which they were spreading on the roads to stop the tarmac melting :eek:

Looks like the water crisis will be hitting everywhere soon if other councils take this idea on board.

Talented but slow the heatwave of 77 is the one your referring to.

Re: How are you all staying cool?
 

You need to remove the dog mess from the carpet. That way, the flys won't bother coming in for lunch.

Re: How are you all staying cool?
 

wasn't it 76?

Re: How are you all staying cool?

Well you can keep it.

The temperature in my office, this afternoon, was 95' F. This was with all the windows wide open (lots of lovely traffic noise and pollution) and desk fans everywhere. It's hard to work in that heat. My brain was turning to mush and every time I looked at my computer screen I had hallucinations of water-holes with palm trees and camels. :(
