    To which the appropriate reply is of course "No need for that, I'm a contractor, my house is cooled by the melting of Antartic ice imported especially for the job. Would you like a penguin burger?"

      I tried penguin burger once while on a trip to see the Northern lights. I was travelling with the Danish Queen and the Tauntaun we were riding froze to death. All I had was a replica light saber from IKEA, a packet of Penguin biscuits and a frying pan.

      I rustled up a meal fit for royalty. Delicious and we were rescued the next morning.

        The river is looking favourite for me.

          36C now we're cooking.

          Been trapped in the house all day. Tried going out, was like walking into a hair dryer so ran back inside.

            I've just been swanning around the French Riviera where it was like that every day. Coming back to a mere 30 deg C in the UK is a relief.

                31° C here at the moment, and I hear thunder. Hopefully that'll bring a bit of rain to cool us down through the night.

                I tried a bar which has a/c earlier on. Tough, the a/c had packed up, but the beer was cool.

                Lots of nicely tanned cleavage to admire though.

                  Sounds like you ought to try dousing yourself down with a cool madchen or two!!

                    Got twelve bottles of cider in the fridge instead. Ice cubes are all gone within a couple of minutes

                    Think my scalp is leaking in this humidity...
