Am I reading this thread all wrong?

Folk like me remember 1976 as hot. And it went on for a long time. And it was quite a bad drought

This current heatwave is hotter. And a lot more humid. But not as long. So far

Am I missing something? Maybe I’m “too old”?

Or is this the new politics thread where folk argue about fuck all that’s actually important?

Anyway you didn’t just stick to the seats of your Dad’s car they burned your legs and left a fucking red mark 😁

I vaguely remember it.

Long days of sunshine, and playing out.

Difficult to compare though, with being 50 years older!

Last year or two I've found the heat that bit more difficult to contend with.

Briefly stepped onto my drive earlier with only socks on my feet- within seconds I could feel the heat being given off and had to leg it back in.

Definitely dangerous for dogs to be walking on the pavements like this.

Main thing I remember about 76 was the ladybirds. You couldn't walk down the road without having a few on your clothes.

I have no prejudice against old folks. Just cunts.

That’s ok then. It’s just that I heard someone call someone a black cunt and the bloke who was black, said that’s racist. The other bloke said no, I just don’t like cunts. I’m glad we’ve cleared that up.👍

Apart from the long hot summer, the thing that I remember the most was the cricket fields. Not a spot of green in the outfield.

It is very humorous when old cunts invent fantasy scenarios to make their point.

Yep and that looks like Test Match. Bolton League/Association looked even worse.

I really can believe that. It’s the heat.

I bet you can. You've already invented an imaginary black bloke.

The Oval that photo

I was playing for Bradshaw U-15s that year. Was like playing on concrete. I was a 12 year old fast bowler nearly 6 foot tall which was why I was playing above my age group. Got formally warned and pulled out of bowling against Eagley or Heaton for slinging it past batsman’s heads. Not my fault guv, it’s the hard pitch. Honest

Hot water bottle in the freezer, for once a daft "life hack" tip found whilst doomscrolling has actually come in handy.

My best memory was the Cross Cup Final between Little Hulton and Daisy Hill at Walker Institute. The ground has now gone of course. Little Hulton had Mudassar Nazar and Daisy Hill Javed Miandad. I can’t remember the scores but I know that both dominated both the batting and bowling. Daisy Hill won. Again, the brown outfield is a vivid memory. Both players went on to play for Pakistan and had a record 451 run partnership together.

Was at the physio today for a hip problem. She said don’t freeze it but fill it with very cold water. Lie on your side and put it between your knees. The blood circulation that area is such that it will cool you down. Could be bollocks but will give it a go

1976 was a memorable summer, heat and dry weather went on for ages, we had standpipes out for water, all that stuff, best memory was a school holiday to Staithes in North Yorkshire, scorchio all week, barbecues on the beach late into the evening. Great times. We all got on with it, as folk did then.

Ok. So really you mean die.

I’ve always found that people who have one prejudice, usually have more. So apart from your obvious ageist prejudice, what are your others?

Don't ask him about the skeletons in his cupboard FFS. There's a reason why he screeches certain words on a regular basis.

Google 'reaction formation'.

No mate, knees FFS. Don't try your bollocks.

In his case it will be a glory hole.
