Divert a bit of power to a few of these beauties so they spin really fast. Lovely cool breeze.

Some of you lot should have been around in 1976. We had a three month heatwave ( June/July/Aug ) Barely a drop of rain for three months. Hosepipe bans everywhere. Playing cricket was unbearable. You came off the field dripping wet with sweat. Dust bowls everywhere. Google England v W Indies, final Test at the Oval. The outfield has no grass on it.
The weather broke at the end of August/beginning of Sep. Then it rained, almost continually for a month!

I went to the Oval test in 76, I think about the fourth day, Greenidge and Hendricks (?) knocked us out of the ground. It was very hot and I was 11 and had no money for drinks, I roasted that day.

I broke my arm falling off a bike in the summer of 76. It was my upper arm, the humerus (aka the funny bone) so my arm wasn't put in a plaster cast. Instead my arm was strapped to my chest so I couldnt move it. Before strapping my arm up they put a piece of wadding in my arm pit. Because I was unable to move my arm I wasnt able to wash my arm pit so the wadding just absorbed the sweat undisturbed for about six weeks. I'll never forget the day when I felt recovered enough to unstrap my arm and remove the wadding.The accumulation of six weeks of heat wave induced unwashed, undeoderised sweat that had absorbed into that wadding was something I've never experienced before or since.

No I didn't know his background. I read somewhere that they changed their names 'cos of signing on and I think he lived with one of the Slits.
I actually have a book about the Clash, but have never found time to read it so far ... it was a gift.
It sits on the shelf gathering dust with rest of my 'retirement' reading

I think I bought the book for my son ....I should borrow it....

Strummer was a bit of a lothario, apparently. Him and Steve Jones cold barely keep it in their trousers...

Retirement? Now there's a thought....

Best summer - first proper summer, even - since 2006.

After the grey rainy wash-outs, and 'Spring has gone straight into Autumn', summers of the last decade or so, I'm loving this.

This summer is certainly the best I remember for a long while, but summers over the last decade certainly haven't been a case of 'spring straight into autumn' on the whole... They've just been 'normal' summers for this part of the world - a lot of nice warm sunny spells with a few heat waves, but with mixed spells too. This one is an unusually hot/dry one for us!

Long may it continue. Even my grass has got a tan, it’s gone nice and Brown.

Given you normally knock off by 2 shouldn't be too much of an issue

I remember somebody carved 'SAVE WATER' in giant letters into the bowling green at Queen's Park.
