Yup...... I'm on the terrace in a tee shirt.

Re: Carb cleaners in UK and Ireland

Luckier than my friend. I've just got back from the airport. He's going back to England after a week's holiday with us. He gets on the plane at 80º plus, then gets off in England after 4½ hours to -10º.

EDIT:- Just looked at the English newspapers online - minus 11º :lol:

Carb cleaners in UK and Ireland

It's still freezing here. Be polite and at least tell us you're wearing more than a tee shirt.

Re: Carb cleaners in UK and Ireland

Hate to tell you, but it was so warm driving back from the airport that I had to have the air con, on, in the car. Mind you, now I'm back home, up in the mountains, there's a nice breeze blowing. Still - the only thing more than the tee shirt is a wrist watch. :2tup:

Please no pictures...

I am out of eye bleach .

a product used on the eyes when disturbing content, in line with internet rule 34, has been viewed and cleansing is necessary. steel wool may also be applied in severe cases.
"Damn it, the image of it is burned into my eyes!"
"Quick, use the eye bleach to remove"

This reminded me of a story from an acquaintance in the early 70's. Before the Edmonton International airport had those nice sheltered tunnels to the doors of planes. My acquaintance watched a fellow who was born and raised in a very warm climate get on the plane in 110F temps and step outside the plane in Edmonton where the temp was a chilly 54F below. Needless to say he dropped like a stone when the air hit his lungs. They were lucky to save him.
