Pcar,
When I worked in an office I had a cup of tea every hour or so. Fulfilled a dual purpose, a drink which help me think as well as dealing with thirst often created by aircon, and it was usually a longish walk to the tea machine/kettle so got me away from my desk. I still drink a lot of tea, Mrs S says "he never says no to a cup of tea"

Entropic man
More than when?

golf Charlie. Oh how quaint - use of the diminutive "moley" and the tradition of using outhouses. You should visit Norfolk where we have modern things like WCs and toad crossings.

Alan Kendal, Chili con Moley is a dish best served before going on the run. 0-60 dashes may be left on the way to the outhouse door.

EM, we are also now seeing named storms in the UK because it was decided to give storms names in the UK. The storm that killed 18 people in 1979 is known as the "Fastnet Storm", because nobody thought to give it another name, but it had nothing to do with Global Warming either.

golf Charlie Mexican moles are hot and cause you to trot.

We are seeing more haboob because there are more haboobs.

Alan Kendall, the blooming moles growing and I think multiplying beneath my feet, do not appear to be doing any bleeding at all, and have declined my enticements to make molehills in heaven above.

With the traditional monsoon season underway well before Wimbledon, there is a surplus of rainwater stored in butts, to which I could connect a hose. I am sure there is a soda syphon or Soda Stream somewhere with some spare CO2 cylinders, which I have been repeatedly told is highly toxic to all forms of life. If I could get them to drink some fizzy water, I could hear them belch, and get out the forkin'pogo stick .........

golf Charlie. Leaking moles require medical attention, but leaking toads are osmotically challanged and so behave abominably when picked up. They are devils of the spawn.
