Terror stalks the Land.

heat-wave

 

The BBC has informed me tonight that I'm in mortal peril. This dragon, meteor strike, plague, heatwave is going to kill millions. So they would like you to believe. FFS I've worked in temperatures of 50 deg C with no ill effects. Just a few sensible precautions are needed such as plenty of fluids, keep out of direct sun where possible, wear loose fitting clothing, and shock horror, increase your salt intake. (The health police are so going to get me for that last one).

The BEEB have even plastered the NHS direct number over their TV weather charts. No doubt if you ring it, stating you feel a bit hot and sweaty, they'll probably suggest you have a swine flue jab.

So chill out folks. Flash up the barbie and have a few cold beers.

*I'm taking the precaution of adding ice to my whisky.

Eastern Promise

This is what Jasmine from Aladdin ends up as.

Jasmin

As she's holding an M16, then she's probably working undercover for the CIA.

Shall I, Shan't I? That is the question.

Anyone fancy another Fairy Tale ending or shall I quit whilst I'm ahead?
