Oh well you’re alright innit. Its the foreigners in general what i’m talking about.
Plus at least you lot speak English (or summat much like it). Not like the bloody Frogs and A-Rabs.
(etc.)
London’s great today. I sit next to a floor-to-ceiling window so am having hours of fun watching people on Ladbroke Grove who, caught in the sudden torrential downpours, get absolutely fucking drenched before they can get their umbrellas out.
Everything is really, deeply, green! The novelty of this wore out in the first week of June though. I wish my lawn would stop growing LIKE THE FUCKING BOUNTIFUL VERDANT COCK-KNOCKER IT IS! Gaaah!
I never thought I’d say this- No, scratch that, I never thought I’d be able to say this with other people around: I could go for a little global warming right about now. Suck it, Leo DiCaprio!
I am hoping strongly that you’ll get absolutely sloshed by a passing lorry driving through a puddle on the way to your tube station, you nasty nasty man. You deserve it for laughing at the pain of others that way.
Agreed - this’d better mean we get some proper snow this winter. I built a sledge two autumns back, in preparation for the ‘really cold winter’ we were supposed to be getting. We had enough snow to build a snowman fully five inches tall.
Free translation - I’m sorry, I don’t speak Limey.
The weather’s got me fucked off and I’ve already indiscriminately threatened the whole of England if the weather doesn’t change immediately, but no reason I can’t add you to the list!
It’s because I didn’t visit your fine country this summer. I was there last year and there was a “heat wave”*. When I come back, I’ll bring summer. If you ask nicely, I might leave the humidity at home.
(*Considering that eastern NC has been suffering under 100+ degree days with 150% humidity for the last few weeks, I can honestly say that there is a cultural divide in our definitions of heat wave. Me being able to wear jeans in the middle of London in July is not a heat wave. That is an anomaly I still haven’t been able to comprehend.)
“Absolute” or “specific” humidity is the ratio of mass of water vapour to mass of dry air in a given volume of air. When expressed as a percentage it can be significantly over 100%, as there’s no reason why there can’t be more water vapour than air knocking around.
Relative humidity (the more common measure) is the absolute humidity as a percentage of the absolute humidity at saturation (i.e. the amount of vapour relative to the most vapour the air could possible hold at its current temperature and pressure). This can never be more than 100%, since any more water vapour would just condense out.
Anyway: yes, fuck this weather. I went out in a fricking coat yesterday, and still felt chilly. Bah. Stoopid jetstream.
