I've finally slept through to a sensible hour. I am fully acclimatised.

[Berni]

I fly back at 7pm tonight :-(

It pisses down all the time.

In fact, San Diego has overcome much of my curmudgeonliness, I must admit. Much longer here and I'd be saying 'awesome!' in response to every banal statement like the rest of 'em.

Last night I dined splendidly on Funyuns and red wine. Awesome!

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It's **** here.
San Diego is ****.

Everything is ****.

[Classic Jorge]

Crying! Awesome tears, dude!

[Berni]

I can't handle you in full on SAD mode. It's distinctly sub-awesome.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Grey, dull, damp and ****.

for 40 days and 40 nights. It's literally a flood of Biblical proportions, Richard.

I'm Morgan Freeman and I play avuncular, steady figures in every film ever.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I can't breathe properly, I can only see the floor, the cold, grey floor.

32 degrees, that's what I want.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I need to be prescribed a second home in the tropics on the NHS.

I expect winter will arrive in February, and it will be cold until late April when suddenly one day we'll wake up and it'll be summer.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

No heating? What kind of monster are you?

[Ashberto]

This is *our* weather, dammit. We should be proud of it. :nod:

[Berni]

We are hardwired always to prefer that which we do not have. It's tragic, really.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

*And the taxation, naturally.

But I'm not quite sane - we are three mates who go skiing before work twice a week.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

with the thermostat set to 24 degrees. So it only actually comes on when it's absolutely required.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Imagine. Having to go to a tourist destination :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Actually the log burner gets the temperature in the living room up to 28 most evenings :hehe:
