I thought this was a thread about the weather During the last big heatwave, ‘76 I had the other virus, chickenpox, and Micheal Fish used to stick them symbols up with magnets
Good reminder Ackers of how things were back then. That was some summer 1976. The missus and I drove down to Salzburg with the roof down on the car.
they are playing the odds, if it prevents even a few turning up at a& e it’s worth annoying those who have a modicum of common sense
loving the unique interpretation on here at times. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00199vx listen to the alarmist bastard, tone of his voice while telling me - Tyne Dogger cyclonic? imminent?? occasionally 6?? bloke needs thrashing within an inch of his life.. Sacking?? sacking's too good for the bounder! BBC News/their relaying of words to the general public are not always ideal, how can they be?, tell me a News Broadcaster that is.
Sky News Australia, Fox News (top tot) and GB News. Proper news channels they are. The truth! None of that lefty woke shite on these proper news channels. Pah!
not stirring for the sake of it, maybe i am a little but that news just suits you - one person - can't you just see news as over-exaggerated maybe, and just pick up what you need? or just turn off/turn over?
The sad reality is that some people will die from this heat. Whilst, I am reasonably fit and healthy, others are more vulnerable. Whilst making light of it is a typical macho response by those with an empathy bypass, a lot of other people are more caring and sympathetic. Sure, some of you worked in hot climes. I lived in Hong Kong for a while when I was wee. But theres many elderly and poorly people struggling. These are the targets for the advice. Not the healthy or the prepared. It isnt about being woke unless you are the sort of person who twists things round to their limited narrative. Its about being caring.
Oh here we go. Mr. Sanctimony personified A lot of people will die from a lot of things for different reasons. When people become infirm they die. Even I’ll die one day. Maybe. Nope don’t buy your ‘I care’ bs on this. The fucken sun’s come out people, deal with it you fannies!
That's true pf course and you're absolutely right - let's hope those older/inform people have someone looking out for them. I do however agree with the sentiment that we're spoon-fed basic advice, either the media want us to become or idiots or they think we already are.
