I'm working in the office this week to take advantage of the air conditioning. Several of the developers working from home are reporting issues with their laptops overheating.

It can't be that unusual, surely? There are places in the world called "jungles" and "rain forests" that are both swealteringly hot and basically at saturated water vapour pressure the whole time.

You'd think but according to Wiki that 35 degrees is the highest recorded and it was in Saudi Arabia which seems odd.

Mmm. I know Dubai is horrendously humid because it's at the coast and there are too many flagrant wastes of water in the city. Perhaps something similar?

Apparently they generally peak at between 28 and 29.5 in the Amazon with the highest ever being just below that Saudi figure. I guess they get regular downpours that relieve the humidity briefly before it builds to higher levels.

Yeah, it was Dhahran on the coast apparently.

Do you have a house on France?

Brian runs a successful novelty naked cycling calendar business from France. He's a local celebrity amongst the 50+ women in one particular village. So much so that Facebook noticed unusual traffic to his personal site. The HMRC are now involved .

I needed somewhere to store my excess smoking jackets and slippers.

Even more novelty now as it includes the sternotomy scar.

Are they even a thing in France, or are you just trying to civilise the natives?

I might be joking on that front, but I do occasionally sport my pince nez at cafe stops (I've got a pair stuck on my mobile case), which does rather feel like taking coals to Newcastle. Sadly, I don't seem to have started a trend.
