    Yesterday:

    "Today has been the hottest day of the year and and Gosport has been the hottest place in the UK.

    The Met Office has said that the temperature at Fleetlands in Gosport reached 32.4C (90.3F) today, which is hotter than most of Europe."

      @Giles:

      Gosport "craftsmen"

      About 2 years ago, we had new gates made and installed.  I am fixing up some gate automation at the moment.  And noticed that one of the 6 strap hinges had been installed like this…..

      The other 5 were correctly done - how on earth does anyone think that that's a good job…..(luckily it's the middle hinge of three, so the least important to have been done correctly)....

      If its any consolation, I worked on a dispute where in a luxury apartment block contractor forgot to connect the waste pipes up in the top five floors.

      You can imagine what happened to the walls of the poor bastards in the flats below when people started doing massive dumps and flushing toilets…..

                  For sure…. I find it equal parts funny/scary that during our Saturday morning warm up last September we fit right in there. Huge English breakfast and  pints of beer on the High Street follwoed by more pints and friendly chats in what turned out to be one of the dodgiest pubs in a town of very dodgy pubs.

                    Reminds me of Peniston St. in New Orleans. Someone got the exact green to, ya know… modify it 😃

                      We have a road in Gosport called anker lane, the council just can't keep up with the regular nocturnal updates…. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

                          I have a student this year named Anker. It is an extreme test of my resolve and testament to depths of will power that I didn't know I had, that I have not made any of the obvious puns yet. It isn't like he doesn't deserve it either.

                            @goosehd i’m good with most of that but «git» can be quite nasty when used with intent.

                              It is fascinating how the language is used differently around the world.  I also did not realize that there is a hierarchy to the insults used in the UK.

                                Something of a contrast to Gosport….

                                As the fam were getting ready to leave the house this morning we sent the boys out into the veranda to run about as we got our Wesco’s on. As we were taking a while I stuck my head out to check on them. Just as well I did as in that moment I saw something potentially dangerous but also very beautiful and a bit mental.

                                First came mummy...

                                Followed by child number one…

                                Then child number two

                                Then they stopped 10 meters away from us for a spot of breakfast:

                                    If you don't mind.  We have our fair share of Moose in Gosport - the 2-legged versions that is…...

                                        Wow impressive animals…

                                        potentially dangerous

                                        do they attack people?

                                        We only have roe deer in our backyard… very shy but they love our roses

                                          @Chap Moose are one of the worlds most dangerous animals if they feel threatened by humans.
