Yet Another Heat Warning!!!

[sanmac]

To those of you who own antique pendulum-clocks, you may notice that your clock runs a minute or two slower during a prolonged period of heat. That is because the pendulum-rod expands slightly and lengthens thus all the gear-ratios from the great-wheel driven by the spring to the escapement mechanism which releases the energy of the spring (And the thingy that makes that tick-tock sound) are slowed down...You've been warned!

Must be the heats getting to me or my keyboard

Talking about pendulums, bobbinwales, I think you've swung over to the wrong thread:)

Has..."after a few drinks"...anything to do with it, Bob? ;-)

@20.35 ... Haha a bit of Franglaise.

It has been a bit warmer than usual here Sanmac. As a consequence everyone has headed for the seaside or Westport Lake. "To the water , now is the hour" has been the cry, or "A l’eau, c’est l’heure" in Froggie. It just comes out as "ello sailor" in English. (*_^)

[gness]

Could give another meaning to....a roll in the hay....Arky. If you're lucky. ;-)

[Arksided]

Yes it would, although we'd have to do something about the elephant in the room.

[gness]

Ahhh...but he's such a pretty elephant... ;-)

Doubt it, Arky....but you'll get a pint or two in Murphy's when you visit.
