There's been a huge heat-wave in the UK, highest temp ever recorded here, it's horrible. I'd much prefer your weather.
Can't stand the heat :(
Too hot for sex here.
Wait....wtf am I saying? :blink:
It's never too hot for that!!!
Too hot for working.
YEAH, that's more like it. :D
We could use some of that to put out the forest fires here in British Columbia. Tell you what-----We'll trade you a month of hot, dry, scorched-earth, desert-like conditions for 2 days of your rain. I'll have my people call your people and we'll do a deal. :)Quote:

Can I sell you insurance at all.
I need to clear my mortgage and I reckon a couple of premiums would cover it.
Thanks, FC, that kind of comforted me. :DQuote:

It's been over 35° C for over 2 weeks now, you have to understand that us poor North-West Euros aren't used to that. :lol:
(They hit over 40° C in Munich Germany, 2 days ago. :blink: )
Can someone translate my temperatures into Fahrenheit, please? I know 37° C is about 100° F. :D
Ahh...Kentucky...where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.
Yeah, I feel your pain....up here in New Hampshire it's like swimming when you walk because of the humidity.
To roughly translate Celcuis into fahrenheit, multiply by 2 and then add 32.
so 40 degress Celsius is (40x2)+32 = 112 fahrenheit.
Do the reverse to convert back from Fahrenheit to Celsius (ie. subtract 32 then divide by 2).
so 100 degrees Fahrenheit is (100-32)/2 = 34 celsius.

No, I got some :) ............Hang on :blink: No I ain't :blink:Quote:

I used a full sized Jack Hammer on a scaffold at 150 foot up. We had built a concrete tower and one of the engineers thought the metal re-inforcing might have been put in wrong. Only way to check was to remove the concrete.
Unfortunately I couldn't reach the concrete to break from the scaffold, so I had to stand outside and hold on to the handrail, with my leg wrapped round it. That way I could hold the Jack Hammer against the tower resting it on one shoulder and holding the middle with my other hand.
It was a seriously mental thing to do, however I was paid a ridiculous amount of money to do it. That was about 25 years ago when health and safety at work was an oxymoron.
:blink: WTF??? :blink:Quote:

Is that a new thing? :blink:
Hehe, there's a lot of guys wont work with me on scaffold :lol:
I earned the nick name "Traps" :D If you worked on site, then you know what that means :lol: :lol:
I once busted a 2 ton cocrete lintle thru with a jackhammer :D
It came crashing down crippling our towers :blink: Left us hanging from the gutter :lol: I thought that was funny as hell, my boss did'nt :(

Oh yeah - the weather is just perfect here in Northern California (San Francisco Bay Area)........right around 83 degrees outside.....and the pool is a nice 89 degrees - SPLASH!
I think I'll open a beer and just hang out.........how sweet it is, how sweet it is.
Tchau!

Apparently they just thought it up.
Have you ever remove the bricks from the bottom course of a wall one at a time.
It's really cool.
You take every other one away
Then every other one again.
Then every other one again, until its sitting on a few bricks.
Then get everyone to shoulder charge it and hope it falls away from you.
That's assuming that it didn't fall before that.
Erm......No :blink: Have to try that :D Sounds like fun :DQuote:

I once (you gonna like this) stould on a garage roof, wood and steel with an aligator saw cutting it away from the nieghbouring garage, no support underneith and me................................stood on the side to come down :rolleyes: duh :blink:
Yes.........That did hurt :blink: And how I still have my legs is a mirical cos the saw cut thru my rigger boot on the way down and just nicked my shin :blink:
I must say, out of all the accidents I've had (falling of roofs and ladders etc)
That one did actually sh1t me up a bit :blink:
I was in a major panic, I honestly though I had lost my leg, did'nt even notice the nail in my other foot :blink: ..................Until I stood up :ph34r: :lol: :lol:

LOL
Worst accident I ever had - didn't happen to me.
We had been pouring concrete all day - I was mixing about 20 tonnes a day at that time. I was very good at it.
It was then being put inside an old church to re-inforce the foundation. They were using a dumper to put it in.
At the end of the day we had to clean out the skip of the dumper, you know how it works. Tip it up then feck high pressure water against the inside.
But that doesn't take all of the shit out, so you hit the arse of the skip with a sledgehammer at the same time. Not one of the nancy boy 9lb ones. The full scale 14lb persuader. If something doesn't want to go somewhere persuade it.
Anyway I was hammering away at this - full pelt, taking the swings from my arse, when someone shouted Jim. I turned round in mid swing, as my mate leant against the dumper.
Caught him right on his hand, well at least one finger - the middle one. It was like a cartoon, I kid you not the finger, from the last joint onwards was totally flat.
Turned out the whole bone had been crushed to nothing. He was a good lad tho' went to casualty, got it sorted and we all went drinking. He never lost it, but it was a seriously weird shape after that.
Jeez :blink: Remind me never to work with you :blink: :lol: :lol:
I clouted my own leg with Gurtrude (my sledghammer 12lbder) right on the shin :blink:
Man that hurt :blink: The funniest (well to look back on) was falling thru one of my own traps on scafold and getting stuck :blink: 3 hours I was there, no one was around I was in the middle of nowhere :blink: Eventually had to grit my teeth and force my way out, ripping the shit outta my arm in the procees :blink:
Like I say, funny to tell, I was in tears at the time tho :blink:
I had a splinter 4 inches long driven in my tricep :blink: Ooo, that was fun to pull out :blink: :lol: :lol:
It's all good fun tho, we tell our stories and laugh, then go to bed and have nightmares about them :lol: :lol: :lol:

The only sensible solution is a substantial quantity of alcohol.
Gertrude is a wimp btw. Never use a hammer below 14lb. You are only insulting yourself and the target.
You ain't never seen me and Gurtrude in action ;) There ain't been a wall to stop us yet, altho a double skin engineering bick wall tried very hard.............but failed :DQuote:

As for the hammer, are we talking the same thing? :blink: Pin hammer, as in.....for hammering pins (pannel, vaneer etc) picture framing , glazing etc :)
Maybe just our different ways :)
