Random Rants LXIV: Who's Acting Like a Child Now?

[Snerk]

Like so much of this summer so far, it's 10-15C and drizzly. But for the most part I don't really mind. Though I had to cancel my plans to go clay-pigeon shooting yesterday due to the bad weather. Which is rather annoying as they're only open once a week and I probably can't next Monday. I really need to get some work in on my aim before autumn comes.

Anyway, I'll take 10C over 30+ any time for sure. That kind of heat is good for one thing and one thing only, going to the beach.

 

[Arakhor]

Is your newly corrected vision up to clay pigeon shooting?

Hah! That is a very good question, and one that I intend to find out.

It's indeed possible I'll have a hard time hitting anything until my sharp vision unblurres further.

I think 30+ C is too hot to go to the beach

I'mma rant about the degree sign which like isn't on any keyboard

 

[Snerk]

Well yeah but at least you can cool off in the water there.

 

[Lohrenswald]

the water is too cold

 

[Snerk]

Perhaps not if it's 30C+ in the air.

Most of us on this forum were born in the 20th century.

I… know…

I'm so old.

It's 30+ degrees in the UK right now, with a pale blue sky and not a cloud in sight. It's also apparently hotter here than in Cairo, Athens, Madrid or even Miami.

My milky complexion is not suited for this weather.

Umbrellas can double as sunshades.

At least CFCers wished you a happy birthday.

 

[Arakhor]

I have a brolly, for sure, but it was almost too hot to be indoors, let alone outdoors!

 

[Arakhor]

It is 11.30 at night and it is still 24 degrees out. This heatwave can sod right off.

Something tells me you are not beach body ready.

Nah, what kind of person asks for their own birthday thread?

Superior beings do.

Let's see, I have both these characters: º and °
º is right to the left of my 1 key.
° is Alt + Ctrl + the key one to the right from P. It is a combinign character with a, to form å.

I just use alt-134 for å. Gå på!

EDIT: holy crap italicized å looks so weird
