    I learned something new today.

    1 tablespoon of ground nutmeg puts you to sleep,

    3 tablespoons gets you high,

    And 5+ tablespoons will kill you.


    Have fun OP!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 769 ✭✭✭Diego Maradona


    Agree OP, tis a pain trying to sleep in this heat and I can't even open a window because I'd be invaded by every moth in the place.

    Wish it could be hot during the day and cold during the night.

    Considered for evaluation.

    I've actually been spending quite a bit of time just standing on the bathroom floor to cool my feet. Pedestal fan doing 90 but still no joy.

    I got some cheap fly screen mesh from Aldi I think it was, and stapled it to a thin wooden frame the size of the opening part of the bedroom window, well.. about an inch or so bigger all round, and stuck some velcro dots on window frame and flyscreen frame. Now I open bedroom window wide, slap on the screen and go to sleep feeling the breeze on my co... face.


  • Registered Users Posts: 320 ✭✭OMARS_COMING_


    What you do is open the window and let all the little flys and moths in,get as many as you can in the room.If you have a few thousand of them then what happens is they fly around the room flapping their wings and this causes the room to cool down by a few degrees.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭cocoshovel


    Shut up. Its like the 4th day this year with semi-decent weather we have had. Soak it up before we go back to the depressing overcast and rain until next year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭bodice ripper

    Yes but you forgot one major point - THE HATE. It will be there in combination. And what it will do is dry up the rain so rapidly that the piss (actual piss) on the street will evapourate in steamy, smelly little puffs of mist, up off the pavement and onto your nice new summer Clarks.

    Next week its back to the wind and rain which I find alot more depressing satisfying.

    Ah, well, I'm in the country. We don't have streets. We do have the odd stretch of what the council call 'roads'. :pac:The humidity can get fairly sticky alright, but not so bad out here.

    stop STOP :eek: I think I'll go to hospital now, no it's hot there - I'll break in to a fish factory, lots of ice!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,225 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Heat with a breeze, lovely.

    This dead, muggy, stuffy heat. Piss off.

    Or you could have just bought the fly screen mesh from lidl - they provided sticky-back velcro strips that you stick around the window frame and you just attach the mesh to it ;). Have it on my sittingroom window and it's great stuff :)

    I really can't understand this, 20 degrees is a very very comfortable temperature regardless of where in the world you're from.

    I don't mean to be rude but does carrying a lot of extra weight make it more difficult to cool down?

    It was 21 degrees during the day and it's 12 tonight. There's two numbers in the forecast, one for day one for night. Google "Current temperature Dublin" etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,903 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6

    I used to hate anything in the 20's cause it was too hot and now I find it freezing if it hits 20..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    20 = heat :eek: Sure you don't have a fever or the sweats?

    I would still have a top on over my t-shirt when its 20.
