    weathers holding up fine in blackpool. lovely red run setting, almost cloudless etc etc.

    iv had to clock my comp down to 2500+ from 3200+ (barton) in order to lower voltage and keep tems sane. it was up to 57degrees today on idle.

    It depends, sometimes I think it's too hot, but sometimes I feel quite alright with the temp.
    But I'm Indian, so maybe it's in my genes.

    BBC are the most retarded bunch of weather forecasters of the millenia. If I pay my TV license, I expect reasonable accuracy in weather forecasts - I know this is scotland and susceptible to 13 seasons in one day, but really I could do a better job of simply saying "you know what, it might just rain . . . or not be as sunny as I initially mentioned".

    day before yesterday, I checked the weather forecast for yesterday, it was dry with sunny spells . . . by the time I woke up, I checked if anything had changed . . it hadn't . . . guess what, it was bucketing down. And its not like the forecast changed for the rest of the day to accomodate the weather - it did, but said it was gonna be sunny without a cloud in the sky. EEJITS!

    I hate moaning about the weather. . . I have nothing wrong with the weather in this country, I just hate the weather forecast - it spoils plans each and every flippin time!

    Could be worse....I could live in Aberdeen!

    last night was really crazy.

    Left work and went to see the parents, had a quick brew and then proceeded to nip to the cornershop

    Anyway, just as I left the shop to walk home the skies opened and I mean opened. Within 1 minute I was soaked to the bone with shoes sqwelching and boxers soaking but the rain water that was falling was WARM not cold.

    Thunder was not as bad as Sunday where the church near my house got hit about 3 times (that I saw anyway).

    Well, it's been raining quite a lot for a while now, and it's made me all wet shame. But it was well too hot before, splashed my face with water and it had evaporated by the time I left the room! (which was pretty quickly) And the rain is quite a nice change.

    The rains been ok, till like me, you get caught out in it. Except I was traveling at 40+mph when I got caught in it, wearing jeans & luckily a Jacket.

    Sunday was great - did 120 mile bike ride and the weather was perfect, tyres sticky, and bends galore

    If the government had tight control on UK pollution it would really help ease off the temperature. But I guess the tax from the SUV's and large and fast vehicles, for example, takes priority so no point in caring

    ..aside from the sneezing fits and the like!
