It's time to get serious and obliterate the sun.

Rula, you sound like you're about to enter a WWE ring... "Rula brings the thunder!" .

I'd enter that ring and definitely wouldn't be bringing the thunder. Maybe a slight spark.

It annoys me a little that hosepipe bans are rightly being implemented in various areas of the country at the moment, but they’re not outright banning the sales of disposable BBQs too which are obviously causing some of these fires, which need an absolute shed load more water to deal with, which in turn makes the potential water shortage worse? Sure I imagine fires near the coast could be helped along with seawater, but inland they don’t really have a choice I imagine unless they’re near a river.

Most supermarkets have removed the disposable BBQs from their shelves already.

Which is good from the retailers, but when there’s a theoretical fine of about £1000 for using a hosepipe during a hosepipe ban (not that I imagine many, if anyone has actually been fined that much, if anything), why not do the same for disposable BBQs? I fully understand the police are stretched as it is but I imagine they’d be able to afford a few officers or PCSOs to go around national parks, local parks etc just once a day until the hosepipe bans have been lifted and we’ve actually had some rain and issue a fixed penalty notice for anyone using them?

Now forecast 33c here tomorrow :fp:

I wonder why it's one of your favourite places?

A nice area up in flames 'cus of idiots. There's some nice places to explore down that way. It'd take an age for me to get down there, but I would enjoy it.

The thunder hasn't arrived. Tomorrow is going to be just as bad as today, then.

Oh crap, this has reminded me of something a (close to retirement) former work colleague once told me. I vowed I’d never sit on her sofa if she ever invited me round.

Was at work today was chatting to someone by one of the store entrances and looked outside and the sun was behind a cloud for a few mins and i instantly thought of this clip. Seeing as clouds in the sky this week have been pretty rare :slol:

As we start another day of blazing heat and zero water... it kinda feels like this speech from Turrican on the C64 just has the right vibe.

Nearly through it, guys. Stay strong, and think of happy days to come.

Snow is gooseberry fool, too. Give me a nice clement spring or autumn day.
