We're pretty lucky in Britain that that doesn't happen too often, but when it does it's often intense and subtropical because of our humidity levels. One week of intense heat here's less bearable than a whole month in Spain. imo. But that's what I don't like, it hanging around for ages.
Yep.
Seems to me that we get a horrible heatwave every summer, though.
32 degrees today its to hot we need some cold air or a lovely breeze
*blows George*
That came out wrong...
That's what she said!

Common, perhaps. Incorrect, yes.
Well, whatever it is, it's got us by the goolies, or er other appendages if you're female 
Yes. So if any other living planet does exist, it's hard to imagine it not being ruled by a big burning bastard bearing down on you. The heavy mug is back, have to go out today but this stuff really saps me. 
It's quite overcast here today. Still warm though.
Another roasting hot day today, loving this hot weather but it's a bugger in the night when you can't sleep
I've heard if you place your hand in a bowl of water whilst you sleep, that helps cool you down

Also if the suds from the washing up liquid refuse to depart the sink, rub a bar of soap around the edge of the plug hole and they will quickly run away.

It could also help you to wee, you takes your chances.
I sleep on top of the bed but I feel like some ridiculous idiot that doesn't know how to use a bed properly.

chip might not get it (though he might with his TV knowledge), but Pingl, Chappers, Lazzard, and GR probably will. 
That bath will have to be burnt. No one's going to want to use that after him.
Bloody weather I'm going to throw rocks at the sun and make obsene gestures at it.
Hopefully it will get the hint.
