so there i was...

[butters]

... out in the back garden, reading terry pratchett over a nice cup of coffee and getting way too hot. due the weather, just in case some nob thinks i get my e-rocks off to terry pratchett tales.

as i began to feel a bit crispy around the edges, my mind went to 'so when are we due to hit the next ice age? and will we be able to go on a stellar vacation during the snowball phase to some local planet, or will we need to live underground, or...' you get my drift. it was hot, ok?

so i went for a little rummage around the net, and found we're in a glacial minimum of a glaciation (ok, i knew it already but not under those terms) and we won't technically be out of a glaciation period until the globe is glacier-free.

now this isn't about man-made global-warming; that's another subset entirely. this is about...

i think i need an ice-lolly.

 

[ivantheterrible]

don't worry, when enough cold fresh water hits the gulf stream , you'll need an inuit parka with mukluks.

 

[girlsmiley]

Byron doesn't have any ice-lollies.

He's only got the albatross.

i know

without the pack ice, there's likely to be more exchange of the arctic and north atlantic oceanic waters, which'll mean warmer arctic and cooler atlantic conditions, and there are projections that the arctic will be ice-free in 5-20 years time. it's all about balance, i suppose. maybe i should move to canada.

did he eat them all? bugger.

if it's this albatross, it's all good

Chippy makes me flustered when she types with an accent.

and in bare feet, too. yeah, sorry about that, but it is hot.


have you any ice-lollies?

 

[ivantheterrible]

i hear it's easier for brits to get into canada than america.

 

[butters]

i hear it's easier for brits to get into canada than america.

who'd want to go to america?

ok, maybe to visit, but not to live there. now canada....

 

[ivantheterrible]

it's getting crowded here. i suggest canada.

 

[kbate]

I think the only reason to come to America before the complete disaster is because we're the strongest and will probably go conquer and kill crazy in order to 'preserve our way of life'. I'd rather be on the killer crazy side than the killed crazy side in most global battles for the last ice free zone.

Or you could just have a nice glass of lemonade.

the lemonade certainly sounds more refreshing. the rest all seems a bit too much fuss.

but i did find this. it made me smile:

[Saint Peter]

don't worry, when enough cold fresh water hits the gulf stream , you'll need an inuit parka with mukluks.

[butters]

And your line made me think of this:

sorry about the commercial in it - can't beat ads anymore, worse than a plague they are.

Although Harry is always welcome here

i still don't see him as fanciable, but it might be my age
