    We had a sticky 30C here yesterday, and it isn't even summer yet!
    Stick your A/C unit's thermostat at about 26C. That should help.

    Our usual summer is high 20s, but we've had to cope with 40C for a few days every year, so we've developed strategies to cope. Stick to places with aircon, preferably paid for by someone else.

    I don't think some of us would survive in those temps of 40C. I'll stick with -30 temp in the winter, at least you just have to wear heavier clothing. 🙂

    You might have to place some Polytetrafluoroethylene on the pavement or else the eggs might stick.

    Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
    The chemical Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was used in non-stick Teflon pans up until 2015 and has been linked to many diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, liver tumor's and reduced fertility. Jan 3, 2019

    I stuck it in because many people wouldn't know what you were talking about stees. ( You're idea not so great as the aforementioned pointed out)!

    You shouldn't try to talk over people's heads, always someone just as smart or smarter than yourself. I always stick to talking to people not DOWN to them.

    My dear VR I never talk down to people. I stuck that word in as a means of getting people to use Google and Wikipedia, both of which pay me a royalty for everyone I get to use them. It was just a way of enhancing my financial situation. 🙂

    Well I think after, closing in on 17 years on this site, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Luckily I was able to stick it out for that long without having been banished for a time.

    Well I am only here around 14 years so you been around longer, I probably had more forum bans than you in that time. It has been years now since I had one of those. I don't think Andy has ever had a ban or been suspended for any period of time. He has stuck around a long time also.
