And insanityaquarium: BBQ's need...cowboys. Albertans go nuts over BBQs vs. other parts of Canada. The prairie land of beef ranches, bison ...foster BBQ worship.

Of course, the only place it's hot is Toronto, Centre of the Universe.

Raincoaster I grew up in southern Ontario and then lived in Toronto for over 20 yrs. after university. When it is 42 degrees C with high humidity, it is extremely unpleasant. It would be like being in 1 of the southeastern U.S. cities with high humidity...and smog.

I've bike in such weather and it feels very unhealthy unless it's 6:00 am which is when I would go for 1-2 hrs. and that's it. That's how dangerous it can be without no shade.

Vancouverites always experience heat with an edge of Pacific Ocean coolness. Summers in Vancouver never get as a terrible humid and hot as Toronto. I've been around here (Vancouver) for the past few weeks. :D I know: it's 10x times easier to bike up multiple hills of 10% grade in Vancouver vs. Toronto in the summer heat.

They would've been paid on arrival! I just don't think they fancied the whole "Realistic" Jack the Ripper theme =/ I'll have to coat it differently next time.

Fear not though Anna, we still had midgets.

You have to PAY them to show up, pete. Duh.

Well I tried making it a Jack The Ripper themed BBQ but then the sun came out and the prostitutes never showed up. So we just ended up having a regular one :(

Was going to go to Derbyshire Pride today, but the parade has been cancelled because of the rain! It doesn't seem all that bad at the moment... I'm rather tempted to go out without an umbrella, but then you just know I'll get washed away and end up in the sea, being eaten by mermaids, or something.

@rain. Sounds like our news papers and TV reports when they tell us that 'The country has ground to a halt' etc when we've had about two inches of snow. :)

jessielansdel — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 08:13:48 +0000

@ard. Lol. You could make it a theme BBQ and all dress up as Sherlock Holmes or Jack the Ripper. :D

The national news here featured anchors bantering about how "everybody" was suffering from the heat. Of course, the only place it's hot is Toronto, Centre of the Universe.

It's well foggy this morning, that'll be fun driving to Sheffield! I'm determined to have a BBQ today, even if it means none of us can see each other!

According to Radio 1 earlier, "A months worth of rain in 24 hours"

A month where? Africa?

We had a lot of rain this morning but no thunder. Sunny here now too... so unpredictable!

jessielansdel on "UK Storms June 28th 2012"

jessielansdel — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:08:11 +0000

Ah sweet :)! I love York. I used to go there with my ex and it's a really nice place. Had a panic attack in the Yorvik Centre though and I refuse to go to the Dungeons. I'm such a wimp xD

jessielansdel on "UK Storms June 28th 2012"

jessielansdel — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:13:45 +0000

It had just opened and me and my ex decided we'd like a walk over the bridge. It was a very bracing walk and very enjoyable.
I lived in York all my life (up to eleven years ago) and I'd NEVER been to the York Dungeon or the Yorvik Centre. Tourists knew more about those places then I did. Lol.

@ardpete.... it's probably true :(

@jessielansdel- I've never even done that and I've lived here all my life minus 3 years lol. What brought you to the Humber Bridge?

jessielansdel on "UK Storms June 28th 2012"

jessielansdel — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:50:15 +0000

@joelyroely . Ah, I don't know Hull at all. But I've walked over the Humber Bridge both ways. That was an experience. :)

My little weather gadget on my computer desktop says thunderstorms tomorrow here and I don't like that :(

Don't like this weather at all :(!
