Terror in the skys

unless your've been under a rock all day, you will know what has happened, and that you can now only take you bits onto the plane in a clear, plastic bag.

Me mates off to Canada now, and has to take his inhaler with him. Fair enought, but how are they gonna test it ? Make him take some, when he dont need it ? Now, im no doctor, but wont that be a bad thing for him ?

I'm betting that the muppets wont know either, so its gonna be bloody chaos !

Its about time this country got its bloody act together, and sorted its own shit out, then worry what the rest of the bloody world thinks.

Great Britian ? It uesd to be, once, a long long time ago :o(

KIlled it :o(


The Honda that is :o(

Started off with a snapped clutch cable, which wasent too bad, as i had an emergency kit, but it took an hour to fix, as it was too damn hot to touch anything !!

Then, it lost power, and was running on three cylinders, so limped it to the campsite.

Had a fun 1st night, upsetting most of the 'normal' people who were camping in tents bigger than some rooms i've lived in !!

Checked all the HT leads in the morning, found the loose one, so fixed it :o)

Went to start up the bike, and i didnt work. It helps if you put the HT leads back onto the plugs !! Did that, hit the start button, and one almighty BANG later, ride off the site, after making very sure every kid and adult was VERY awake ;op

About five miles from the site for the bushmoot, it happens......

CRUNCH, Clatter clatter BANG SQQQQQQQQUUUUEEEAAALLLLLLL !!!!!!

OH FFS !!! Stop at side of road, send Mad Dave to catch Womble, while i sit there and sulk :o(

They head off to site, to unload gear, and work out a plan.

After a friendly local had fed me biscuits and a ice cold can of pop, Womble arribes back, and tows me to site !!

A novel experiance, and one that turned me into a jellyfish !! Not because of Womble's riding, it was just soooo damn strange :o)

After that, parked up on site, had a shot of good scotch , and had a fine weekend :oD

hot weather advice

from the met office...


Before a heatwave

  • Ensure you have plenty of cold fluids available.

During a heatwave

  • Try to keep your house cool, closing blinds or curtains can help.
  • At night, keep your sleeping area well ventilated. Night cooling is important as it allows the body to recuperate.
  • Try to stay cool by taking cool showers or baths and/or sprinkle yourself several times a day with cold water.
  • Avoid too much exercise, which can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke, and can even be fatal. Watch for signs of heat stress — an early sign is fatigue.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, but not alcohol, which dehydrates the body.
  • Try to eat as you normally would. Not eating properly may exacerbate health-related problems.
  • If driving, keep your vehicle well ventilated to avoid drowsiness. Take plenty of water with you and have regular rest breaks.
  • If you have elderly neighbours who may be at risk during a heatwave, try to visit them daily.
  • If you do go out, try and avoid the hottest part of the day (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and seek shade where possible. Avoid being in the sun for long stretches.

Before going out in the sun

  • Check you have appropriate sun cream for your particular type of skin.

During sunny weather

  • The UV index (the strength of the sun) can be high at many times of the year — it doesn't have to be hot. The UV index can be strong through cloud even when the sun isn't directly shining.
  • If you go out, wear lightweight, light-coloured clothing, high factor sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat.
  • Avoid being in the sun for long stretches.
  • Reapply an appropriate factor sun cream at regular intervals during the day.

Do not leave children or animals in parked cars. Even on cool days, strong sunshine can make car interiors very hot.

Phew !

Wot a scortcher !!

Sat here, with soggy bandana on me head, just shorts on, and the fan on full !!

All im missing is a cold beer ;o)

Level Three Heatwave

Just discovered that heatwave's are classified !

Were on level three at the mo, and this is the advise they give .........

Level 3 - Heatwave

Issued at: Tuesday 4 July 2006 at 09:39

The probability of heatwave conditions in parts of England and Wales between 0900 on Tuesday and 0900 on Wednesday is 90%

Hot, humid air will continue to affect southern parts of the United Kingdom during Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday. The warmest conditions will occur across Southeast England, East Anglia, the Midlands, as well as eastern parts of Southwest England and Wales. Maximum temperatures of between 30 and 32 degrees are likely in these areas with minima in the order of 15 to 18C in many parts and nearer 20 degrees in major cities. Sea breezes will moderate the temperatures near coasts, especially in the east. Less hot weather is expected to move across most parts of the country on Wednesday, although parts of the Midlands and Eastern England may still be at risk.

North East England 20% Cooler near coasts.
