    I'm this close to throwing the mattress out the window and sleeping in the garden.

    Only got 2 hours sleep last night. Up at 7:30. :(

    Anyone else finding it tough?

    Take aboard 2 litres of water and you will be grand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy


    That sucks. I don't find sleeping in heat that bad. Kicking off the sheets is usually enough if it's bad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,805 ✭✭✭Rothmans


    It's the damn humidity. As soon as you step out the door you can feel the weight of the air on you.

    Sleep in the garden in the nip. Those flying ant bastards will make you never want to leave the house again!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,775 ✭✭✭✭Slattsy


    Another night of not sleeping.

    Get to masterbate a lot. Bonus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    It's horrible. It really annoys me when weather forecasters describe this kind of crap as 'good weather'. If it prevents you from sleeping, it's fucking bad weather.

    Since man emerged out of the cave he has had an issue with the sac sticking to the side of his leg during hot weather. It's a design flaw. Can I recommend a dusting of light talc around the twig and berries? It works. You'll be able to face the C-Suite confident in the knowledge that the 'cellar works' aren't going to stop you making a big impression at the table that matters.

    Shut up ye miserable feckers. The heat is awesome.

    Sure beats our usually rainy, bleak summers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,720 ✭✭✭Sir Arthur Daley


    Do people have the central heating on 24/7 or what that they cant tolerate the heat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Captain Chaos


    Mist is so heavy I can't see out a window. Visibility is about 5 metres here.

    I want the cold back, can't sleep or work in this heat. Give me -10C any day over this. Even if there was a bit of wind to take the edge off. I have 12 windows open here and you would not know the difference if I went and close them all.

    But in Florida they would have air conditioners we are not so lucky :(

    Take off your fcking night dresses ye big pussies

    There's nothing wrong with a bit of rain. Well, nothing that remaining indoors won't solve.

    You don't need air conditioning for 20 degrees. Christ on a bike.

    I'd pay good money for cold and rain Knex!

    If I was in Florida it'd be 7:43 in the evening so I probably wouldn't be in bed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    It's the humidity that's the problem.

    The humidity and the bollocks who insulated my house more than any house needs to be insulated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,647 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    I've been in nothing but my boxers for 2 hours beside a window that is slightly open. Does the job for me.

    Last summer, the nights were warmer so I supplemented this method with 1-2 shots of whiskey an hour before bed. Just enough to knock me out.

    Give me a hundred quid and I'll turn the garden hose on ya. You'll be sending up z's in no time.

    If your house is so well insulated it should insulate the heat from entering the house.

    No but the heat gets trapped inside the house ever with every window open upstairs when you walk upstairs its like walking into a sauna downstairs is cooler

    Makes no sense....... I can take as much cold as you can give me but not the heat.

    I have my air conditioning set to around 24/25 degrees at night time. That's a nice cool temperature for sleeping. Go away with your 21 degrees being too hot!

    Our air con was broken last week and the temp was 33 degrees in the bedroom. Now that's unbearable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,068 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    huh? i was coming home at 11:30 and it was freezing. my windows are closed.

    the night before..that was one hot night

    I understand the argument that we have high humidity and thus it feels way worse, but still..I'm quite comfortable in this weather/temp. When I went to Spain the heat knocked me for six.

    I don't even have a freezer, that's another thing I can moan about

    Stupid weather


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    I don't think it's that bad and I'm not a big fan of the heat in general.

    Although ironically, a big fan is probably what a lot of ye would like right now.

    Only if the weather is crap for the rest of the year. If the summer is actually warm I don't mind having to deal with winter at all. It's nice to be able to differentiate between seasons as opposed to it just being grey and pouring rain all year. Makes a nice change.
