ErnestTurnip Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Important to never forget that chemtrails are the NWO seeding clouds with heavy elements to heat up the earth with artificial global warming. I managed to put that to one side in my mind, got in from work, got pissed, burned my hands cooking bbq food no-one wanted, and am now listening to Ed Wynne's latest in t'backyard. Highly recommed lying down, looking at the sky and giving it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they're gritting to stop the roads melting I did the same distance without the gritters. It’s on days like that you realise how good air con is.

Members bolty58 Posted July 22, 2022 Members Share Posted July 22, 2022 Reet then. As a regular traveller through the Middle East, how is that the runways at Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi don't melt every year? Are we using inferior tarmac?

I asked a customer the other day, as they do a load of work with the VMS signs on public highways. It's apparently down to the fact we do use a different type/grade of asphalt (I think) - the British stuff isn't made to withstand extreme heat, because generally it doesn't need to. We make ours so they can cope with surface temperatures of -20C to +30C, and in other countries, they work go for -5C to +50C. I started to glaze over at that point, but it's something to do with the chemical composition of the asphalt/tarmac. The foreign stuff is more expensive though 🙂 As an aside, from the same meeting, I did also find out that solar panels are a bit shit in extreme temperatures, and their efficiency can drop by as much as 25% in heats like we experienced the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate. I thought it had to be something along these lines. Thought of changing your moniker to Yosser Hughes?

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 22, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2022 I remember as a kid, the roads becoming tacky and it would get on you shoes. It doesn't do that now, so we have obviously improved it with regards to temperature resistance. Seems we may have to do so again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted July 22, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2022 Same with the railway lines apparently. Bloke on the news earlier in the week explained that the steel is designed to withstand particular temp ranges. They may have to adjust the range but the cost to replace would be rather high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, we won't need roads and railways once we all have our new Spitfires delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our front lawn has been straw for weeks and even with watering everyday loads of the plants have just dried up, I honestly can't remember the last time we had more than a quick 5 minute shower. Forecast a bit of rain today fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about 6-8 weeks since any meaningful rain down this way. Everywhere is completely parched and surprised there haven't been many more field fires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
