 | Nice to see that on possibly the hottest day in the history of the UK... the chiller for the Air Con in the office
 doesn't function.
 
 My building is like a fucking green-house but now its a
 fucking greenhouse being pumped full of hot air where the
 Air Con motor is running!
 
 Anyone else hot and give me some tips on cooling down
 without taking all my clothes off?

 hot to sleep comfortably.

 | He's damn right. Although there is a ruling that the hotter/more uncomfortable the conditions the longer your
 breaks are and more often.
 
 chri5py: mention functional suitablity to them. Tell them
 that you don't think the office is fit for the purpose that
 it's being used for and that they should do a functional
 suitablity for it. That'll get them to fix shit straight off
 :D

 | I've heard or read somewhere that you can drink somthing warm to cool down...
 
 It sounds illogical but when you drink something warm your
 stomache supposedly sends signals to the body termostat that
 you need to cool down. So... Drinking cold water turns your
 internal heater up, drinking some mint tea turns your
 internal heater off.

 | I can?t stand hot weather either. But here in sweden it?s only "hot and sunny everyday" (Bill Hicks) a few weeks in
 the summer , so let the sunlovers have their fun. I?m more
 than pleased all others seasons in this country.
 
 "hot & sunny everyday,
 hot & sunny everyday,
 hot & sunny everyday,
 
 ... and they LOVE it!?!?!?!
 
 - are you a fucking lizard?!?"
 
 (Bill Hicks on LA-people, he calls it "Hell A", who thinks
 hanging out by the pool is the greatest thing in life)
