Thats it! I'm outta here!!

We are still stuck at 500 BC ... as a result, if your alchemy is good, there is hope. :oops:

I have had my work referred to as such before Definitely one for the resume
We are also stuck in time in Ireland- 365 BC (Behind Clouds) :twisted:

Most southern European visitors love Ireland's cool summers.

After half an hour in 45 degrees Celsius most Irish are CRYING for a bit of cool Irish rain.

Be thankful for the cool silver lining under our clouds.

Just spotted this in today's Irish Times:

Washout summer beats winter with 49 days' rain in a row.
Marie O'Halloran.

Met Éireann statistics have confirmed what everyone knows - that there were 49 consecutive days of rainfall from June 11th to July 29th.
Records were broken in Dublin when more rain fell on the Phoenix Park in the past two months than in any previous June and July since 1837 when records began.
At Dublin weather stations more rain fell in June and July than last December and January combined. At Dublin airport, there were 252.9mm of rain in the last two months compared with just 167.8mm during the two winter months.

I think that we should ban all of Anthony's ten day forecasts as I'm tired of the headaches I get from banging my head against the screen each time I read one.

The highest temperature ever recorded in Ireland was +33.3 degrees Celsius
at Kilkenny Castle on 26th June 1887..120 years ago.

That's cooler than most days next week in Athens.

Wow, the highest ever was only 33.3d C?! Our evenings right now are around 30d C or so ... during the day we can reach 40-45d C quite easily. Our saving grace is the DRY weather and in contrast to humidity which makes heat even worse.

I remember when I lived in Canada and the temperatures were in the low 30's (C) ... with humidity at 80% and quite often higher, it seemed much more worse. One would literally just be sitting down and the sweat would just pour like a rainstorm.
