Are they still called nightclubs?Night clubs. Ah, yes, I remember them well.![]()
Good question. Answers on the back of a postcard or sealed envelope to...Are they still called nightclubs?
I'm a right grumpy sod, I CBA to stand in the queue for the bar. And I'm a light weight, so I'd be drunk in 3 drinks lol.I didn’t have any real intention of going down the night clubs. I just wanted an excuse to bump this thread up the ratings and to provoke conversation while I was at it. I couldn’t bring myself to pay the prices at the bar.
Can I join your queue with you. Permission to grumble sir.I'm a right grumpy sod, I CBA to stand in the queue for the bar. And I'm a light weight, so I'd be drunk in 3 drinks lol.
But I could dance to soul, in my own lil world, for hours lol
I was counting on you knowing, you always have your ear to the groundGood question. Answers on the back of a postcard or sealed envelope to...![]()
Surely they are called Nite Klubs? (Like the song by the Specials)Are they still called nightclubs?
I swear, I'm such a lightweight I could feel drunk, drive and pass a breaithaliser lolCan I join your queue with you. Permission to grumble sir.I’m as light weight as you are when it comes to booze hence why I like to be the designated driver.
Hi Butters, welcome to the thread. I can sympathise with you big time, I have a garden not a yard, I put petrol in my car not gas, and I put out the rubbish not trash to name a few.an ex-britlander (london) now 5 years' worth of living in America (only because my husband's an American and duty meant he couldn't move over to the UK).
just dropping in to hear a few UK accents and actual English words meaning what they actually mean... biscuits meaning those heavenly, crunchy bits of heaven instead of a sort of bread and their cookies being mostly soft like they're stale! It's like stepping into an alternate reality with the language here... the same words mean such different things.
anyways, hope you're not suffering too badly with the heat right now in the south, it's a killer.
i think it was 2003, sounds about right, and it must have been around 38C but everyone spoke of it in terms of farenheit, so around 100-103. As you know, most british summers don't reach that... 3 hot days and a thunderstorm used to be the norm, and the humidity's a lot lower in the UK so air conditioning isn't the norm.. I now live in Tennessee, which piles humidity onto heat for a higher heat index, but we've ceiling fans and air cooler. The highest i've seen it here was 110, about 10 degrees hotter than it was meant to be but i think it's because we live on a hill which is itself in a slight dip surrounded by tree-thick hills and so the heat and humidity climb. 100 isn't unusual in the height of summer; when the humidity's low, that's actually not terrible.. it can feel hotter at 80 with a high humidity, and that's just vile.Hi Butters, welcome to the thread.

The weather here is set to hit 39C, can you remember C or are you assimilated in to F’s? 96F ish if you are. I’m not looking forward to it.
Don’t get me started on biscuits.
Lovely to hear from you, we had a thread change recently when the old on disappeared in a puff of smoke. Great that you have found us.
That’s ok. I’ll get you an extra portion of chips on the way home. Maybe even a pickled egg.For sure. I can eat though![]()

as for rain? they say it rains a lot in England... well, yeah, polite rain and polite snow as a rule, rain fairly frequent but not too heavy. The rain here is BANANAS! like inches at a time is not unusual with a whole lot more storms that are bigger and more violent. When that rain comes down, you can't even see to drive and people just pull over or stop till it eases.![]()
The heat hasn't hit the NE coastline yet. Looking great and not raining though, always a bonusA tad quiet here at the moment, is the heat affecting you all?
I did see a 'life or death' (I'm unsure on the wording sorry) for the heat in the south up to Leeds.The heat hasn't hit the NE coastline yet. Looking great and not raining though, always a bonus![]()
