    My dogs all irritable because of the heat and decide to have a scrap in the lounge. I watch the tv rock back and forwards before deciding it was going land on the still scrapping dogs. I launch myself from the chair saving the tv but smashing my knuckles on the wall and my knee on the fire surround. Both dogs have separated and are now getting fussed from my wife while she says. It's alright boys, did that nasty daddy frighten you screaming like that! :(

    When you're out on the road and dying for a no. 2 and finally find a promising supermarket that looks like it could have some decent toilets, only to be pipped at the door by the cleaners who stick a not in service cone outside them ffs

    Selfish moron HGV drivers who are "...just following me satnav mate..." despite the effing big sign at the top of the road stating Unsuitable for HGVs. You despicable wankstain you have now bunged up the tiny country lane with your 40ton artic cos the rules of the road don't apply to you do they? As soon as the dithering fossil behind me can be convinced to back up a bit and turn around, I'll take the 5 mile long way round and report your worthless carcass to your boss. It won't undo the festering imbecile's ruination of a dozen or so people's mornings but it hopefully will get you the sack.

    Safety briefings at work because it's hot

    "Try and stay in the shade"
    "Keep hydrated"
    "Wear loose fitting clothes"
    "Wear sunscreen"

    This was the email sent to me seconds after being asked to unpick something really complicated, done by an idiot senior manager. On the one hand they think I'm Forrest Gump and on the other I'm a senior, useful, resourceful employee.

    I shouldn't get annoyed but it fucks me off. They could tell everyone not to knock themselves out and to take it easy but they haven't given me any less physical work to do or found me somewhere cool to work or listened to my suggestion of me working flexibly (very early, stop, then work late)

    This weather.

    Us Brits are not built for such a sustained period of clammy, uncomfortable heat.

    Much prefer Spring or Autumn.

    Not me. Always hated the summer. No problem with sun/heat when you're abroad, but going to work everyday in this weather can fuck right off.

    That's my problem with it now, I dealt with it back in the day as things were a bit more relaxed, I used to work in pretty much a pair of shorts and that was it. I can already feel the boot swinging it's way to me if I went on site in nothing less than full PPE in this weather and that makes things get pretty hot and uncomfortable pretty fucking quickly. My balls feel like they've been marinating all day, and everyone's got the hump. Because it's too hot to sleep, and it's certainly too hot to be dealing with 10% of the bullshit I have to swallow at work, this is why we go away to tropical climates to lay on a beach and go into nice refreshing sea and pools to cool down for a fortnight each year. And then retire to an air conditioned utopia of a room to give the missus the most uncomfortable 35 seconds of her life and get a solid 9 hours sleep in. Until the next day where we do fuck all in 40 degree heat and bask in sunshine. Not work! Not in the UK, we are geared up for grey, drab, light drizzle not sub-saharan heatwave that has left the garden looking like Joe Roots hair and my bedsheets with a permanent tideline outlining where I've lain trying to sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time.

    Been rolling up to work in shorts and sandals, having my brekkie... Only put work keks and shoes on later. Good air conditioning helps. And my work dare to say they are trialling "business casual" which is basically normal man clothes sans tie, women wear what they want.

    Talking of equality.

    I noticed that the women's cricket on Sky last night had an all female commentary team. Us males need to worry when there isn't even room for a token male ex first class cricketer to spout forth his expertise views. I predict a slippery slope :neutral:

    This really gets my goat. Women at my work are allowed their shoulders out, feet out, legs out some of them even pretty muxh have their arse out. Yet if I undo one too many buttons on my long sleeved shirt to let a bit of air in then I am looking unprofessional.

    Bullshit.

    The Tie.
    I mean why? The most useless ridiculous piece of waste of space clothing ever invented.
    I really feel sorry for the unfortunates that have to wear them at work.
    Poor sods.

    Trouble is you've only got a tie on and absolutey nothing else.

    They then moan that the air con is too cold (because they're in light clothing) - You then get turned to stone when you say its perfectly set for the way your dressed yet still lose the argument and have to watch helplessly as the air con is turned off
