Depends, I either drink it on the rocks straight or on the rocks with a squeeze of lime and 4 halves of strawberries in the glass with some mint.

If I'm out and about I crack out the mixers though.

Wow! I can't drink vodka unless its mixed with something strong to mask the taste a little. Like cloudy lemonade for example. I just stick to drinking Bud... a nice cold bottle of Bud is the way forward for me.

Nothing wrong with that Lim... bet it took some getting use to though. & yeah Stella is one of my favourites as well. Never had jagamister I'll try that out if my off license sells it. Budweiser comes first, followed by Stella... Magners is pretty nice, I don't normally like cider (drank white cider when I was a teen and it put me off) but Magners is nice and easy to drink.

Lol, about half to 3/4 of a liter over a 10 hour period. :P Give-or-take on outside factors like whether we drink at home too. I always drink triples so it's about 75ml a drink. It annoys the fuck out of me how you can't buy triples in bars though, always have to buy doubles and then get another shot and tip it in. Fucking English drinking laws.  :-\

Yeah no fucking duh it's summer. I had a littler more than a gram and a half of DMT hidden in my closet, but after I came home from hiking in this ungodly 108 degree weather I discovered that my DMT melted. Fuck my life right? >:(

Well anyways, I just stuck the bag in the freezer hoping it'll recrystallize and I might have a chance to salvage some of it. :'(

I had the morning off work this morning, had to go to the doctor because something is up with my eye. Got to walk around in the sun which was great. It's about time this country got some sun! A friend drove me to work because I couldn't see; just had the sun shining and the wind in my hair...and now I'm stuck in the office :(

I actually once got kicked out of whetherspoons because I kept demanding that they sell me a triple. Then when I backed off and asked them to sell me a double and a single they wouldn't fucking do it! Naturally I kicked off and the next thing I know they're hyping off and pulling me outside

Also more on topic.. OP have you forgotten that BEASTLY week we had in April? That was fucking amazing. My mate bought a pool for her back garden on the last day of the heatwave before the rain kicked in again HAHAHAHA.. Gotta love English optimism.

There's something about the warmth of the sun. It just feels so fucking good when you feel the heat over your body.. it brings you to life. Also it brings out the summer scents of the world.. shit takes me back to childhood.

I'm really fucking hoping it's sunny all this summer. MDMA + booze + sunlight and there is no equal.

For us UK residents we certainly have no right to complain and the weekend is set to be just as good.
Apparently its going to hit 27 in most areas (sorry Scotland lol)
Having said that, what exactly is the temp during the summer in Arizona?
My polish co-workers (I am not Polish BTW) have all said that in Poland it reaches to something like 35 degrees, however in winter it gets really fucking cold, minus 30-40.
Us brits should make the most of this weather.

23 here. Man.. this is brilliant. Sun just makes smoking hash so much more enjoyable. Hash + beers + barbeque winding down into the summer evening and then MDMA into the early hours. I don't think shit can get much better to be honest

Well, luckily it's only 28 degrees tomorrow, but is jumping back up to 39 next week. It's 34 right now so just sort of in between, and I live out in the valley in the middle of farmland, I can't imagine how hot it get's in Phoenix.

Is it me or do people in England stop acting like fucking hermit weirdos when the sun comes out?

All of a sudden everyone is good to each other, no weird looks in the street or dodgy tension. People are just happy to be warm and that's it. "Flowers lean toward the sun"

Post by: Adasel on May 26, 2012, 03:25 pm
No, your absolutely right.  Its true that when the summer is out, people seem to en mass on the streets.
We have become a culture who do nothing but complain about the weather.  Most years we are lucky if we get two solid weeks of summer.
Its not like california or arizona mate.
So obviously we want to appreciate the sun when it finally arrives.
Not sure how accurate the info is, but according to weather forcasts it looks like we are in for one, glorious long hot summer.
Oh, btw, not ALL of us are hermit weirdos! lol

Not me, I get more hermit-like.  I fucking hate the summer weather.  It gives me headaches and eye strain, and worst of all, it plays havoc with my grow room temps.  :'(

Still, it's a good excuse to get off my lazy arse, and actually do an outdoor grow this year.  Make hay while the sun shines, and all that.  ;)

But yeah, yesterday, Sunday, was the hottest day by far.  We had the back door and downstairs windows open, a fan on the go and it was STILL too much.
Anyone remember the heat wave from india we got about three years ago??  It lasted about 5 weeks.
For us brits, that was 5 weeks of hell lol

hahahaha the infamous 'Indian Summer' that's always predicted but we never get you mean?? The weather has been jokes for years and we have about 2-3 weeks of nice weather, then gash the rest of the year!!!
But I'm loving the heat and sun, I personally could live in hot weather all year round so I never complain unless its shitty, rainy or windy weather.....I know it's a bit girlie but I like drinking Mojito's in the sun  :P also on the vodka tip, I get this stuff called 'Five' from my local shop, it's only a tenner for 70cl and it's 40% WELSH VODKA made from spring water drawn up from under the Brecon Beacons.....Bloody gorgeous vodka and cheap too! You can't lose!!
I LOVE THE UK IN SUMMERTIME!!!! Fingers crossed it sticks around a lil while!

That's the greatest thing about where I live though, we're lucky if it even reaches 15c degrees. It hasn't snowed here in over twenty years! :o

Sucks, I love snow :D Too bad here in Holland we have like 1-2 snowy weeks in a year. But usually the snow disappears in a few days and becomes slush

I love snow too! I still love to have a snow ball fight, even at my age  :o. In the UK it's not long until the snow goes and we have black ice! Can't walk a few inches without falling on my arse.

Walking home from the pub is a tough mission for me at the best of times ;). Wouldn't even attempt it when the black ice is out lol. Oh I know the feeling, adrenaline rush!

Today i looked at my phone it said it was going to be 24 all week.

Ah sollemnis, at least you have a car dude.  I have to ride everywhere an a fucking bike mate.  When i leave work and that sun hits my back its a killer.  It might only take 20 mins to get to and from work but in this heat it feels like an hour.
Someone on here said about the winter being the best or something.  They are kinda right as in winter you can wrap up and feel all nice and cosy.  In this heat you fucked, you cant escape it.
However as for your journey on the M1, you really have my sympathies dude.  Time to break out the ice cubes.

It was me who pointed that out... It's true, its easy to mask the cold with some extra layers. Ahh sorry you haven't got a car bro, neither have I. Passed my test when I was 19 but never bothered getting a car. Why? Simply because insurance is a joke... I'd be paying more for insurance than the car itself! Oh well, least I don't have to fork out for petrol... I have more money for drugs  ;D Win-win.

Post by: Adasel on May 31, 2012, 05:34 pm
Sollemnis you are totally right there mate.  One of the reasons i dont drive is because of the costs.  Not just the insurance, everyone knows its ridiculous. Its also the cost of lessons, petrol like you said and maintaining the car in general.  It's just one big money drain.

Who wants to bet we get the same shit as last year, two weeks of unbearable heat then pissing down with rain the rest of the year.  Then to kick a man while he is down, a SERIOUSLY cold fucking winter.

Gangster No.1!! 'working' in Amsterdam.....LOL mate you are one shady geeza!! ;) I love the Dam though, used to go every year in May. Perfect time of year as it's such a nice temperature and aint too hot in the coffeeshops etc....Id you go, never buy any coke off the dick heads in the red light, it's all shit!!!

Also, what kind of temp do you get over there?, i cant imagine heat like we had the last two weeks but anywhere has gotta be better than here lol.

Haha I have worked all over mate. :) Amsterdam is fun though.

And yeah the cafes are cool, and yeah you can do that in some places. I wasn't really into them because I don't smoke puff but I went to them a fair bit. Normally got on the brownies and shit though because they don't spin me out so much. The hookers are obviously pretty blatant but I never used them, I find that sort of thing a bit of a cringe. Much rather go on the pull and not have to pay lol.

I don't know about everyone else, but there is something about the British summertime that I just love. I mean, a lot of places in the world have it good for sun and warm weather, but in the UK when we have a day like that EVERYONE makes use of it.

Cant be enjoying ourselves too much though; need to spend some time thinking how best to squeeze as much fun out of Notting Hill as possible!
Last year for me was a lot of time spent at Channel 1 dub and Pineapple tribe. I know most people relate MDMA to repetitive dance music (and don't get me wrong, it goes hand in hand with it perfectly) I just love to drop at a dub sound system...
Think I may spend this year around Abi-tshanti area one day and Martix drum and bass for other.
Anyone else looking forward to it?

Denied on the 4-MEC being sold as Meph is all I'm saying. I shall be in stock again soon so we can remedy this.

Anyway sounds like a good time man. Have fun!

And yeah definitely, you have gotta love Queen Liz, she's the nations Gran. To be honest while I don't like a lot of what the U.K gov does, the Queen and all the tradition represents what I do like about Britain and why I love being British. It's part of our character.

Yeah but I'm a blatant pot head....It's my daily standard right there and has made me a lazy fuck! lol To be fair I'd say the K would overpower any bud but always great to have buds handy for when you're coming down....Nothing better than ('ahem') heroin & buds to bring you back down to earth and you feel like you're in a bean bag blanket of cotton wool and all things are well again!
I only use heroin now after stimulant sessions after being an addict for 15 years on the shit!!!! (I'm just an 'all drugs' addict these days, heroin is boring all the time!!) Absolutely NOT recommended if you have an addictive personality, but it is THE best thing to bring me down...It goes through methamphetamine like butter!! ;)

Yeah i hear you about the prostitutes mate.  You know most of the time they are on the game either to feed their drug habit, or being forced to do it.  Very few of them actually want to do it.  Either way, its all bad news.
Although it sounded like you had a fun time.  I use to smoke puff, but it was the old "rocky" shit.  Had to give it up in the end coz it was killing my throat.  I tried some grass but man it nearly took my head clean off.
Like you say mate it sends you into a spin, dont like those kind of highs one bit to be honest.

haha yeah i hear you both on the prostitute thing as you know that they aint gonna be liking it and as such, i wouldn't like it either as its a girl getting off that gets me going!!  I tried it once but would never ever go back to one....Plus yeah it's shit all the human trafficking going on for this reason. What a wretched life those poor girls must lead....

But, in Dam RLD I used to love sitting on one of the bridges with a bottle of alcohol, smoking a joint, mash up....just taking in all the sights and lights. I love Amsterdam.
Normal (not ho's) Dutch girls are amazingly fit though!! All of them nice and slim, as they ride bikes everywhere and they are chilled to fuck too and great in bed!!!!

Vondel park is wicked to chill out if you go over and de dampkring coffeeshops have wicked selections and the hot chocolates there are the bollocks!!! rifmans hash is only poss to buy from there, special shit from morocco. pure fire hash!!

No absolutely not. It won't come off until late October / early November.

A) To save face, since they introduced it they would look like idiots if they removed it too early.

B) If water really is short then they can't afford for it to run out during the Olympics meaning we need street standpipes and look like idiots. The Olympic Site area, ironically despite being an old marsh like most of Essex really is one area in drought, very low rainfall there and London consumes most of what little is left.

We wouldn't have this issue if people like Thames Water stopped paying themselves director bonuses of £80 million (yes £80 MILLION POUNDS EVERY YEAR) and just built some pipes from Wales and Scotland to England.

You think the hosepipe ban will come off soon? I need to sort out my fruit and veg (yeah....I grow fruit and veg.....I am not an old man though lol).

No absolutely not. It won't come off until late October / early November.

A) To save face, since they introduced it they would look like idiots if they removed it too early.

B) If water really is short then they can't afford for it to run out during the Olympics meaning we need street standpipes and look like idiots. The Olympic Site area, ironically despite being an old marsh like most of Essex really is one area in drought, very low rainfall there and London consumes most of what little is left.

We wouldn't have this issue if people like Thames Water stopped paying themselves director bonuses of £80 million (yes £80 MILLION POUNDS EVERY YEAR) and just built some pipes from Wales and Scotland to England.

Before "Those pipes would be hugely expensive" well oil pipelines get built quick enough...

Ah that's shit, ah well. I am probably going to use the hosepipe anyway to be honest, my veg aren't suffering because of the Thames Water bonus culture. Fuck that. :P

Annoys me that we can't just be more efficient about this stuff, building those pipes would be good for the economy as a whole.

@RR
Seriously planning on leaving the uk dude.  If this shit weather keeps up then fuck it.
What did we get last year, two or three weeks of intense heat wasnt it?
If we dont get anymore heat this year, i can foresee quite a few people evicting to hotter countries.

really did they grow well? i expect they shoot up, i planted 8 lovely little plants in the sunniest place in my garden and planted some nice big tomato plants all around them so they would blend in, this was when we had a nice week or two of sun (when this thread started) and i thought the weather was going to be nice for a while as it was ment to be summer, but since then we have had gale force winds and record braking down poors that have flooded many places, and my poor little plants got battered to death, my garden backs on to woods and half the trees have had branches snapped off like they where little twigs so what hope did my fragile little plants have? none. i hate what the british summer has become, i remember long hot summers days when i was a kid now all we get is an odd week here and there and the rest is just rain and wind, i am really thinking hard about moving abroad cos i have no ties in the uk, and now ive got silkroad i have got a constant supply of that ever i need. how gid you find oz oscar to hot? ive never been but have lots of child hood friends that have moved over there and settled down, and a couple of family members live in sidney so id never be short of a roof over my head

Amen sister, loads of my poppies have been snapped by high winds and one of my ganja plants too, surprisingly the victim is still doing well and I am trying to clone the top, going good so far.

I wanna leave for Spain with the missus, rents real cheap compared to UK and so are bills out in the campo (the countryside) we got enough stashed away to live there for a while and i just love growing my own veg (and stuff). Nice and close to Morocco too  :P

What happened to this "heatwave" summer we were promised?

It's been fucking rough for ages now, and its nearly July. The universe better sort itself out quick time. Not acceptable God, not acceptable at all

Has there ever been a summer when a heatwave has not been promised? Those media clowns say that shit EVERY year because it shifts units, every fucking year! Last real hot dry summer I remember was in the 80s, I swear. A good summer is as rare as good cocaine in the UK. Its been shit in Europe last few years too.  ::)

What, the coke? I doubt that

But you're right, it is always passed off as a heatwave summer. My fault for buying into it I guess. Still, you would have thought they wouldn't just brazenly make things up. Actually what the fuck am I even saying, of course they would, and do. But still, this is just shit

Morocco's incredibly cheap, you can easily go there for two months including flights for less than £1000. Ryanair do some return flights from Standstead for about £70 on the right day, and then you can stay in a Riad which is like a high class small hotel for about £15 a night, including breakfast.

I love Riads:
