And that's the bullseye.
Sadly not the case in our building! Yes we have air conditioning.
But it doesn't work properly. And hasn't worked properly for the many years since we moved into the building 5 years ago, a fact which led to the removal of the person who took on the lease of the building without getting them to first fix what was a known fault.
As such we now have the air con blowing non-cooled air in, so we open the windows to get fresh air in which then I guess, confuses the system even further.
Whichever way we go, we are too warm. At least this way we are too warm with a bit of fresh air
EXCEPT
For the women who complained that they are TOO COLD, but won't put on a cardigan over their "just about acceptable for the office" summer dress to warm up.

2. I have had the air-con blasting in my car throughout the warm spell but also like to drive with the windows down to let in some fresh air. Yeah, fuel consumption related lunacy etc. but I like it so 'nanas to that.
In a car, your aircon is as much a cold air blower as anything, so that's fine if it's what you like. But in a climate-controlled building, opening the windows confuses the whole system and means some people are sat freezing in some places as the system tries to compensate, which it can't as it is no longer a closed system.

I think we need pics of these women in "just about acceptable for office" dresses 
For science obviously.
Just spent 90 mins cutting down what I thought was a briar rose. f
king rampant bramble and there was a mile of it. tt! It was gnarled around two spindly trees and had two inch thick stems at the bottom. And thorns capable of penetrating my so-called gardening gloves. During a combined assault with secateurs, extendable shears and a saw, it thorned me from every angle. Cucking funt.
This instrument of Beelzebub is now in bite sized bits in the green bin and I never want to see one again. Grrrrrr!

I say you take off and nuke the entire site from orbit; it's the only way to be sure. king rampant bramble and there was a mile of it. tt!

I've recently taken on an allotment. I think the previous tenant was Terry Waite judging by the state of it and I'm fighting a battle against nettles, brambles and bindweed. I must've pulled up about eight miles of roots so far but the buggers keep coming back. On the plus side, the massively overgrown redcurrant bushes are heaving with fruit so I've made a gallon of jam!

Dead bits are even worse. The thorns are just as lethal, with the added bonus that they are now brittle and break off at the tip. I've still got one embedded deep in the base of my thumb from a few years back. I swear the bking rampant bramble and there was a mile of it. tt!

You're absolutely right. At one stage, I had one thorn sticking into the skin on my forearm while the same branch's sucker bit carried out an assault from the rear, as the stem had a go at my shin. Rather than swearing randomly, I ended up calling into question the bramble's existence, its role on the planet, it's parentage and ultimately its distant ancestry. ds are sentient, the way they latch on to you.Nevertheless, it has just been taken, in the green bin, to bramble Valhalla. So I can say R. I. P. (rot in purgatory).

People talking in theaters/cinemas.
Went to the Royal Albert hall last night to see the space spectaular.
A couple to one side and some women behind talked pretty much all the way through.
What is so important that it cant wait 1 fking hour until the intermission.

What is so important that it cant wait 1 f
king hour until the intermission.I also despise people eating in the theatre, there's always some "bubbly" ladies dressed like they were heading to the night club and entered the wrong door, who can't survive for an hour without munching on crisps or chocolate treats making noise with wrappings and packets. It's a chain reaction, once somebody starts it the entire audience follows.
It pi****ss me off even on kids shows, just wait for the break if your chubby offspring needs to stuff their face with sugar for god's sake. Teach them some respect for the actors, it's not a bl***y Odeon!
There, I'm better now.
