New - The things that really annoy you

[Trips]

My cat shits in our neighbours garden, don't think she's done it in our garden once and hasn't been in the litter tray for 6+ months

For the cat haters, orange peel in your garden keeps them away. You just have to regularly eat orange.

The avoidance of neighbourly cat shit gifts is one of the bonuses of huge land space here. That and virtually every vertebrate being deadly to most domestic moggies

Peeling an orange creates a smell that makes me want to throw up. I would rather stick with mining the garden.

Cats are cunts.

People who book a summer holiday somewhere hot. Then moan that it’s too hot.

I'll be annoying in a few days time then

Off to Rome on Thursday. I know it's generally warm there in July but wasn't expecting it be quite so warm.
Hitting over 40 there today but will cool to a chilly 38 by the time I arrive

No man this is a popular take.
Our neighbours behind us have a cat who thinks he rules the neighbourhood, walks across the garden fences at night dropping into each garden and shitting.
I messaged the owner and she seems quite nonchalant - "oh hes just looking for a friend"

I'm tempted to boot him back over the fence in future.

Put your hand inside a plastic bag, pick up the shit and in the dead of night lob it over the fence back into their garden. make sure it lands in different locations so they don't know from whence it came. Just use a little hand trowel occasionally too, so they have to pick it up.
3 Doors down from us they bought 2 cats and it's really upset the lovely tranquil balance of our little close. His direct neighbour has spent 2 years getting his front and back garden looking great. Now he has 15 foot high poles all around his back garden festooned with netting to keep these fucking cats out.

Take good care kenny, ive got around 42 here and trust me its debilitating if you dont take care.
Serious exertion is a no no, and a hat, big and wide is a must. I take lots of cold showers all day and night, to cool the body and have limited my journeys on foot to as few as posible, evenings only.
Trouble with big cities like rome and athens is the concrete and stone absorbs heat all day, and pumps it out like a gas heater all night, which makes sleeping hard and leaves you drained the next day.
Sadly the worst things for dehydration are coffee and alcohol, i think, like most of greece, you're fucked.

Just sat in Malaga airport waiting to fly home. Had some ridiculous heat this past week.

Worst part was last Thursday when it was still 38deg at 10pm with around 80% humidity. 40deg in Granada at much lower humidity felt way more bearable.

Don't forget to pet a stray cat

I'm in Tunisia with the kids next week, it's looking like it'll get to 46 degrees ffs

Jeez dell, be super careful with the kids.
Ive been here over 30 years now so you might think im used to it, but even though i am older now this is sheer murder.
Nightime is as bad if not worse than day time, so if the kids are struggling get em in a cold shower as many times as necessary. A drink of water is ok but you have to cool the body.

And all the climate change denying dickheads are all saying “ summer ay it, it’s supposed to be hot, nobody moaned in 1976 when it was hot, and before global warming was the latest scam, telling everyone to stay indoors is the start of 15 minute cities/ghettos wake up sheeple”

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It’s actually pretty scary what’s likely to happen with the weather. My kids are going to have to grow up getting used to extreme weather events.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The stats are pretty easy to read. Paraphrasing but the UK's hottest post-war record was in 1976, then it got close or possibly overtaken in 1990. The remainder of the top 10 temperatures are all since 2003.

The highest temperature recorded anywhere in the UK in the 1976 June-July heatwave was 35.9 degrees. So it was actually cooler than say the day we played Crusaders.

It’s the instability of it though isn’t it? Crusaders was a one off day at that temperature, likewise the two days we had last year when it nearly hit 40°C. 1976 was a sustained summer of high temperatures and no rain, probably like you’d expect summer just much hotter. The weather now is so volatile it’s ridiculous, the tornado footprint in the States is growing every year and it’s showing no signs of stopping.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Last year there were three distinct heatwaves of a few days. One in June, the megahot total bastard in Mid July and then another few days in August

1976 it was not as hot, but it was hot for longer, for sure. So one was summer, the other was a series of extreme weather events.

Anyway, look on the bright side. You could be in Phoenix. Been above 110 degrees f for 19 straight days. That is proper boiling.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Last summer was way more than a couple of isolated freak days. We had two separate week-long (at least) spells where it was 34c or higher every day, it was the hottest June by mean temperature since 1884, every single month bar December in the entire year was warmer than average.

The memories of 1976 (I don't have any as I wasn't born) don't stack up with the data.
