About that...well...uh...nevermind. You'll see..or maybe you won't, I don't know. :roll:

Anyways we've got a few stops to make. We forgot all of the dress code (no beanie, no backpack, no hood, no facial hair if male, no spare beanie, NO ACCESS) and must make a few stops to the top secret BoC store.

We'll be at Poole about mid-day. Then we have no idea. Shouldn't be hard to get to someone's place/the pub in particular though.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

On that subject I should mention (probably should have said) my car is... well the ACs broken and only the passenger side window opens. So dress for the surface of the sun and I'll park it in the shade all morning.

Oh. the weather. So funny. I was only outside in London for a day but it was about the same as here. It's like 25 degrees inside Cupz' house and he's going "man, it's so hot"...this is what we would call "cool" where I'm from. :lol:

Unless humidity is at like 60% or higher, anything less than 40 degrees is nice. I'm traveling and sleeping so comfortably. 8)

It is humid and 34 degrees here. Sweltering for us.

My dad had to sit in the car with the air on for like an hour haha. I thought he was going to get heatstroke for a bit...

About the same here in Groningen at the moment (apparently, though Cupz' thermometer reads 27 for some reason) and also apparently a 20% jump to 70% humidity tomorrow when we leave to London.

About that - you guys might really want to consider investing in more widespread air conditioning. :lol:

It's a bit cooler here this morning. Cloudy too. :)

AC is such a rarity here. My dad got used to it a bit too much when he worked and lived in NC for a few years. He never ceases to complain about UK houses now.

Think my flat needs AC. We haven't had the heating on since we moved in. Was a bit sweaty this morning.

I'm used to about 35 degrees in a small studio room with no windows open and no fans being "fine" the entire day, but as soon as I want to sleep I usually have to crank that thing down to 27 or so (all the electronics generate too much heat for it to get any cooler unless it's winter) to feel comfortable. That's only there though. I think people become a little too reliant on AC in places where 25 without swamp-level humidity is enough to make them complain.

Rain here this morning and thunder tomorrow night. Should be brighter Saturday though. Bit cooler, thankfully.

Thus weather is not usual for us, I've been melting...

If only we had some suitable music to play while we're sitting in amongst ruined buildings, suffering heatstroke from global warming

Fair to say it wasn't boiling down at the Square & Compass last night. I rode down there and the sea mist was such that I couldn't see the sea, or even the top of the hill when riding up. It was pretty crazy actually, and even a bit chilly.

Was a good cheeky half-pint though. Shame the pasty was microwave-soggy...

Weather has been wet and humid all day. BUT! In the last hour the sun is back out again and glorious.

Forecast is thunder storms tomorrow night drying up Saturday and sunny by the time we reach the pub.

ADecentMan arrived here today - top bloke! So we have no less than four Twoismers staying at chez Mexi-vayshun.

Soon....!!

I'm staying up so the other 2 can sleep and not be afraid we'll oversleep and miss the train. I might have to wake them up slapping them about. Might as well do some useless scripting exercises to keep me awake. Bags all packed and ready to go.

Also, I love Jonse to bits, but I can't fucking wait to be able to have sexytimes again. My nuts are about to splode.

Oh and I can't wait to meet you guys! This is going to change my life, I can feel it in the air.
