Saturday here and the master plan is to go and watch the F.A. Cup final them barbeque!!!!!. The weather looks nice, but even if it turns nasty, the BBQ will carry on regardless. For those of you who are not familiar with the climate in my neck of the woods, here is a little comparison exercise.....
SCOTTISH WEATHER 50 degrees-New Yorkers turn on the heat. People in Scotland plant gardens. 40 degrees-Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Scotland sunbathe. 35 degrees-Italian cars won't start. People in Scotland drive with the windows down. 20 degrees-Floridians wear coats, gloves, and wool hats. People in Scotland throw on a T-shirt 15 degrees-Californians begin to evacuate the state. People in Scotland go swimming. Zero degrees-New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Scotland have the last bbq before it gets cold. 10 degrees below zero-People in Miami cease to exist. People in Scotland lick flagpoles. 20 degrees below zero-Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Scotland throw on a light jacket. 80 degrees below zero-Polar bears begin to evacuate the Arctic. Scottish Boy Scouts postpone "Winter Survival" classes until it gets cold enough. 100 degrees below zero-Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. People in Scotland pull down their ear flaps. 173 degrees below zero-Ethyl alcohol freezes. People in Scotland get frustrated when they can't thaw their kegs. 297 degrees below zero-Microbial life start to disappear. Scottish cows complain of farmers with cold hands. 460 degrees below zero-ALL atomic motion stops. People in Scotland start saying "chilly, you cold as well?" 500 degrees below zero-Hell freezes over. Aberdeen Football Club win the League. ------------------ Regards Mouse |

LOL, well I love Scotland, been to Edinburg and its the greatest city in the world... but I'm in Iceland so here:
-------------------- You know you are from Iceland when... Snow tires come standard on all your cars. You have gotten frostbitten and sunburned in the same week. You learned to drive a tractor before the training wheels were off your bike. Down South to you means Canada. Birds chirping at 3am in July is normal. You have a passport to leave the island. Your idea of creative landscaping is a tree. Wearing high heels and a skirt, and going out dancing is "normal" during a hurricane. You were unaware there is a legal drinking age. You decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a weekend. You enjoy driving in the winter because the potholes fill in with snow. Your sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie At times, your second floor balcony doubles as a front door. You find 0 degrees a little chilly You actually understand these jokes ------------------ Keldorn's Younger brother |
