Damn it, it's so hot outside I can't even stay there long enough :D

33 degrees + the usual humidity from Montreal, it must feel like 40-45 degrees outside.

I need air conditionning in this damn house, the one I have (10000 BTUs) is sure not enough!! and my pool is not ok, water needs work :D

Nah, just checked, feels like 39 degrees (celcius of course), 52% humidity only.. not so bad

try the garden hose, unless of course there's a hose pipe ban! Head in the fridge? A holiday in the Netherlands would cool you down as well, we've been freezing at a barbeque this afternoon and I'm in two minds whether I should put the heating on :(

hmmm...33 celsius...what the hell is that in F??? let's see...double it and add 32...yikes, that's warm for you northern types...

I just tend to drink a lot so that I forget how hot it is...

I also take off all my clothes and rub ice cubes all over my body...

but I tend to do that when it isn't warm out as well :wink:

I drink rum...thins the blood...works wonders....plus you just dont care if it is hot, or about much else

oh...that's right...alkyhol does indeed cause the body to release heat, thus cooling your core down...I sound like a fooking Nestea commercial now, don't I???

Funny, I find that remedy is very useful against the cold; my body must be working the wrong way round?!...looks like the heating won't be needed after all :D

actually Geri...it's the heat being released that makes you think you are warmer...that's why they strongly suggest against drinking when you will be in the cold for an extended period...you think you are warm while your body temp is plummeting...

since when did this place become the science channel???

I need another beer!!!!

I usually fill an inflatable kiddie pool with ice cream and bathe in it. With sprinkles and chocolate sauce, of course. And if I want a cherry on top, I invite the neighbor girl over.

you're easily pleased then :D

aah, poor nic. well, as someone who lives in the inner circle of hell the only advice i can give you is to stay indoors. with the air-conditioning on. here in florida i move from inside a building, to the car, crank the air-conditioning, and then go back inside again. follow this plan. oh, and get your pool fixed. our pool is very important in sustaining our lives this time of year and i love going for hot afternoon dips.

right now it's, like, 8 million degrees, with, like, 98% humidity.

When it's cold I feel cold. When it's hot, I feel...ambitious.

well...I am used to drinking this swill that they call beer here in the states...and if I'm not mistaken, Stella has been judged as the best in the world on at least two different shows I saw on TV...and if you see it on TV, it has to be true...

Yes, we can get the Mexican beers here, although I prefer Sol to any of the others, the Negra Modelo is a fine one as well.

And if you can get Stella in San Diego, it may just be time to put in for a transfer! I think Target has some stores there!

Ah, si, Sol... Hace años que yo no me quedo borracho con una docena de la mexicana!

Y tu, Jeff, emborrachas con la deliciosa Sol?? :D

In the heat I like to sleep in the day and come alive at night

8 Jul 2003, 01:05

I like the Stella Artois.

As a matter of fact, I own a pair of Stella-printed glasses (those you drink with, not those you see with!).

By the way, will the fine people of England please tell me, once and for all, how to pronounce the name of the Bass beer?

Do we say "Bass" as in "Peter Hook's bass" or is it "Bass", with the "a" letter pronounced the same way we do in french?

I've been wondering for years!

Or "Bass" like the fish?

It rhymes with ass.

8 Jul 2003, 05:11

What are the usual types of beverages on offer in NY bars then? A pint of ice cold stella is just the trick to pick you up on a hot day :nod: Somebody else mentioned Harp, a pint of Irish Harp is the dogs bollocks - blows yer fookin head aff. Heineken is a bit of a lightweight drink, but if there's nothing else in yer fridge Nicos;)

What was this thread about? Heat or Drink :lol:

Best thing to do on a hot day? FOOK ALL.

8 Jul 2003, 07:53

dutch heinekin is better than the rot you used to get over here - always wondered why kyle machlachlan banged on about it in blue velvet as thought it was pish myself til tried the dutch stuff.

8 Jul 2003, 08:25

Agreed :nod:

When we were in Amsterdam we were drinking the Dutch Heineken - boy was it strong......mind you we were partaking in smoking the local cigarrettes.....and as for the free coca cola on offer :evil4:
