I left my car at the pub yesterday and went and picked it up a lunch. This is what I got into:

Yeah didn't bother logging on till half 9 this morning. Perks of not having an office.You have lunch at ten to two?
No it's not. Assuming it's double glazing open your windows at the coolest part of the night for a while, then close them all day. Keep curtains closed . Works very well with east and north facing rooms.Curtains and blinds shut.
Fans on
Copious amounts of water and ice lollies
Apparently windows shut through the day but surely thats bollocks?
You have lunch at ten to two?
Heatwave of 76 was far worse than 48 hours of media hysteria.
Good spot.Tbf I read it as he picked up some lunch for his car
What's misleading about it? Open water swimming increases when it's hotThe media again trying to scare.
"Boy 13 dies during heatwave"
Yeah, sadly he drowned but clearly intending to mislead
Bare hot isnt it
Sadam Hussain's troops set fire to over 600 oil fields, sending trillions of tons of shit (technical term) into the atmospheres causing a greenhouse effect that traps the sun's rays and causes (or accelerates) global warming.
If you get a chance, watch the news reports and documentary on YouTube.
Truly scary stuff.
But you won't hear it mentioned by the press or politicians, not when you can be blamed (along with farting cows) and taxed to the bollocks.
I can't sleep myselfAnyone else got kids who are refusing to sleep due to the heat. Not their fault as Christ it’s hot.
But it’s definitely a frustration and a lot of moving around I could do without at this time of night and in this heat.
Great advice, tried it and much cooler now.Have a cool shower 10 minutes before you go to bed. Don’t dry yourself just walk around the house in the buff until you’re dry, cools you down no end right before bedtime.
Ditto!I can't sleep myself
Tried that, the mother-in-law wasn't impressed!Have a cool shower 10 minutes before you go to bed. Don’t dry yourself just walk around the house in the buff until you’re dry, cools you down no end right before bedtime.
The news reports were from the time it happened.Awesome stuff
The news reports were from the time it happened.
Since then, the issue has almost been air brushed our of history and never referred to.
Ask yourself why such an ecological disaster that has undoubtedly had a devastating effect on our climate is not ever referred to on main stream news.
I thought the inference was obvious, but there's always some dumb fuck who needs to have it explained to them.
Been at work 15 minutes and feel like I need to pass out.
No air con, just below a steel roof. I think it's 35 or close already.
I agree! Not that home is better... Does B&Q have Aircon btw? Toss up between opening the door and letting a load of heat in Vs finding somewhere half tolerable for an hour later.Tell them you're going home
Tell them you're going home
You massively undermined your own argument as soon as you used NASA as a source. NASA (never a straight answer)I honestly don’t know, why weren’t they on the news last night? Has something happened in the 31 years since then?
The oil field fires - which, as you say, are almost never referred to by the media these days - consumed roughly 4.6 million barrels of oil a day, according to NASA estimates: Oil Fires in Iraq
That is a mind blowing number, and you’re right to be worried that it could contribute to climate change.
It might also interest you to learn that last year the United States used on average roughly 20 million barrels of oil every day, according to U.S. government estimates. Roughly four times the daily amount burned by Saddam and the boys. Let’s not even get started on China, India and the rest.
So if you’re worried about the impact of oil consumption on our environment - and it sounds like you are! - then I have some good news for you. Rather than blaming yet another media conspiracy about something that happened in 1991, you can blame the structural realities of major economies, and our fun habit of burning vast quantities of oil every day. Makes much more sense, no?
There comes a time when it's appropriate to open them. Admittedly yesterday that was about 11pm...Yeah when I leave to come to work I close everything, it is nice and cool when I get in.
However if I am sat there at night I have to have them open.
We literally have ours open from 9 until about 8 the following morning. I haven’t had more than 4 hours sleep a night since May though.Yeah when I leave to come to work I close everything, it is nice and cool when I get in.
However if I am sat there at night I have to have them open.

Have a long history of false information, (moonlandings in 1969 is just one example, which they themselves admit was BS)
The true amount of pollutants caused by the oil field fires will never be known, but it's considered to be a hell of a lot more than NASA's guesstimate. And the fires raged 24 hours a day for over 7 months.
Comparing consumption of oil with uncontrolled burning of unrefined oil is a completely pointless exercise.
Consumption has nothing what so ever to do with burning unrefined oil.
Eg, car oil is "consumed" but not burnt, machine oil is also not burnt.
Of the oil that is burnt, much of that goes into filtration systems after being burnt.
In Iraq, the fires put sand and dust etc into the upper atmosphere, turning day into night, it's the combination of all the pollutants that is the issue.
It's no surprise that 20 of the hottest years ever recorded have occurred since 1991.
