Cloud Potato posted:Sunday Telegraph: I don't think we'll ever hit peak Farage, because it just doesn't stop being funny; just slap his face on something and throw in the obligatory fag/pint and you're sorted. If there isn't a Godzilla Farage by the end of next week I'll be amazed.

No way, the Xenomorph Farage was something special - especially the chest-burster, in mid-explosion but already armed with a fag and a steady pint  At least now we know why the Faragosaurus died out, a lack of basic sustenance from the look of that glass

I'm more surprised that the Express is apparently still talking in Fahrenheit. Though I suppose I shouldn't be, what with their readers tending to be of a slightly older vintage.

Papers will cry "heat wave!" over temperatures which wouldn't be out of place in Los Angeles or Sydney... in winter. It's more so not being use to it. Compare someone living in Qatar with someone living in Hammerfest, Norway. Someone in Syndney would find 1C / 33 F "Super duper cold" when someone in Norway would be  going "call that cold! it gets -15C here and we deal with it".It's all about the large heat change, as in England you're normally not use to 26C/78F as the annual average max temp is around 15C/59F, min temp 7.8C/46F annually. So it does seem hot, I'm feeling it right now. But ignore all this as goons from different countries love to go "call that cold " "call that hot ".Weather cartoons are poo poo though.  Kegluneq posted:It's a standard tabloid thing I think. I honestly couldn't tell you if that was hot or not though. It's perfect weather for making saisons, but yeah generally its hot. It's a weird thing news papers do, if it's hot they use fahrenheit (bigger number!) if it's cold they use celsius (smaller number!). Fluo fucked around with this message at 10:49 on May 19, 2014 |

ClownSyndrome posted:I wouldn't be surprised if they used Fahrenheit when it's warm, and Celsius when it's cold The latter probably plays into it, but I think Celsius-when-cold is correct. I don't remember Fahrenheit being used in winter at least. The problem with temperatures (slightly) outside the norm in Britain is that our houses are generally lovely and freeze/overheat really easily. Yesterday wasn't incredibly hot but my bedroom was hideously humid last night

When I moved to Manchester I moved into an attic room that was freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer, so much so that I pressed a pair of freezer packs directly against my skin to cool me down at night. Now I've moved into a top floor flat, which is... also freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer. Next payday I'm investing in bugnets, because as I learned last summer, my flat is a magnet for daddy longlegs and wasps when I open my windows.Lovely flat otherwise, but in summer I'm assailed by unbearable weather and/or swarms of insects.

Ah yeah you're right, I just had a vague memory of overhyped WOW!!! weather. "It's not cold!" hit the nail on the head really! Hey technical arty people, what is it about Bell's style that makes it recognisable? I can't put my finger on it. That Yarl's Wood cartoon is basically some words in a typeface, a basic building and some wire lines, but I know it's his immediately. Is it the sort of watercolour paint, or the line style, or what?

That's cute, mac's shorthand for "heavily armed Yank police" is "double-barrel shotguns." Maybe for heavily armed police 140 years ago.
