I don't care that I sweat and I don't mind being too hot, because it won't last and people are kinder in lovely weather.<br /><br />Mind you, being too hot in a crowd of people makes me claustrophobic. <br /><br />Wilfred Owen was wonderful and his death was a tragedy. But so was everyone's in that dreadful war. I live in a tiny village and 25 men died in the first world war. I listen to the Roll of Honour being read out every year and it makes me grieve.<br /><br />I'm mildly pissed, darling - in the drunken sense - don't mind me...Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-90559136992452000202010-05-25T20:43:28.379+01:002010-05-25T20:43:28.379+01:00I prefer Sanpellegrino.

I have a thing about trains. they are amazing<br /><br />here i have a train link, except the bloody computer will not copy it you swine you SWINE i tell you!! bloody computer!!!!<br /><br />yeah i like too. tennyson war poet? you sure?! you don't mean rupert brooke "if I should die think only this of me ~ that there's some far corner of a foreign field that is forever England"... that one that's rupert brooke... also siegfried sassoon was meant to be good, but wilfred owen, to me at least, wrote far more memorable stuff. he had real poetic greatness and it is such a shame he died aged 25 ~ the only true rival i can think of to t.s. eliot<br /><br /><strong>7:</strong> you are running FIVE KILOMETRES pushing a pram?!? Wow!!<br /><br /><strong>Ake:</strong> Aye, when I came from Wales, tut Water in London were FAR FAR FAR too hard for mi taaaerst I'll tell yer that fer nowt! Aye, I will! I get tut impression Australian tap water's far more fragrant than ours down South, aye, ferras fer me, if I had tut dosh and cerd bi bothered, aye, I'd drink Volvic all't time too! Aye that I would!! (Or summut...)<br /><br /><strong>Mols:</strong> that air con sounds cool enough to cool down an entire multicolour bunting-ridden donkey-derby jamboree, aye that ti does! And I heard that America now spends more on COOLING in summer than heating in winter!<br /><br />And I heard that various tropical countries have banned the ridiculous western business suit in fava of proper robes and sht ~ i would go for robes if i was out there, i tell ya. Anyway, they've banned western dress because it is THAT that is ruining the environment, forcing people to turn on air con far too high when basicaly they could dress sensibly... and also build sensible houses! In Southern Europe houses are made of stone with large shutters etc etc. They are cool in summer. American houses seem to be made out of polystyrene and be swelteringly HOT, hence the whacking gut-wrenching permusqua, so ~~ aye! Trotterdonkes and horses in the stocks I must go now butr jibbery mcQuollox to you all and happy her majesty's birthday, ahoy!!<br /><br />15C are you kidding?! maybe they mean <em><strong>15C HOTTER THAN USUAL!...!!!</strong></em>Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-27853352503932611852010-05-25T18:35:38.612+01:002010-05-25T18:35:38.612+01:00So it's been a little warm in the UK?

That would seem a little chilly to me. Here in the Midwest Wasteland, the high is forecast to be 28 deg C. Tomorrow is going to be 30 deg C which is pretty warm compared to what it has been. Why no AC in the UK? In the States, there is an abundance of air conditioners. My old truck has an AC unit that could cool a small house. I even have a window AC unit some prior tenant left behind at my craphole of an apartment. I just shove it in the window, plug it in, turn it on high and enjoy the frosty goodness. The damn thing makes some noise, but that noise is music to my ears when the temp soars above 30 deg C and it will. As you might say, it's quite posh. Well enjoy the fizzy water and stay cool.molsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483375097397433633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-46191133050676952932010-05-25T17:25:31.270+01:002010-05-25T17:25:31.270+01:00The only time I buy bottled water is when I'm ...The only time I buy bottled water is when I'm abroad, otherwise I drink tap water which oop north is nice and soft. :)Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-61876528000236424902010-05-25T16:24:51.021+01:002010-05-25T16:24:51.021+01:00I do have holes in my socks LOL although not blood...I do have holes in my socks LOL although not bloody (yet, thank God). :D I must have mentioned twice I'd ran the 10K but I've only ran it once.
