I learnt a cool fact today
The minimum oxygen levels to cause problems have been reviewed. No more it's 18% O2 that becames dangerous, it's 19.5%; normal O2 levels on air are 21%, so you don't need much depletion to start feeling sick. Think about that next time you get stuck on the underground.

*now gets more worried about travelling on the underground than before*

My claustrophobia doesn't help me with it
I try to avoid it as much as possible. Going down and down makes me feel so bad.

I'm not as bad as I should be.
As long as it's not over crowded I seem to be ok.
( girlinthehole, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:33, Reply)

I don't get too bad
but it does make me nervous, specially if I start thinking of scape routes in case of emergency.

How do you feel if you see a man with a beard and a rucksack muttering to himself?

You don't get any significant depletion of oxygen on the underground
it's hardly a sealed room.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:41, Reply)

If you get stuck
on the tunnel, with a lot of passengers on the carriage with you, at rush hour, I bet you get O2 depletion.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:46, Reply)

I really, honestly doubt it
the train isn't sealed and the tunnels aren't sealed and humans don't use that much oxygen
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:48, Reply)

But so many humans
in such a little space... no, it can't be good, and you don't need that much depletion.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:51, Reply)

You'd last more than an hour in a sealed coffin before oxygen depletion caused you any significant problem
You'd have died of dehyrdation in a stuck tube train before you ran out of oxygen, even full of people. Remember you've got to use up the oxygen in the train, the whole length of the tunnel and every station on the line even ignoring all the vents to the surface. Gases diffuse from regions of high to regions of low concentration and they do so reasonably quickly. Certainly faster than load of passengers can use it up.

Jesus, sometimes I even bore myself. Sorry.

Right, I know
still, it makes me unconfortable. Now I need to carry a bottle of water with me at all times.

I have dived on an oxygen poor air mix.
It makes you feel really ill for hours.

PS There will be no fingering of arse cracks at the October bash.

But I've booked an arsecrack fingerer at great expense.

How much is CQ charging you?

He wants a look at my mighty penis.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:37, Reply)

I could do with a laugh.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:38, Reply)

Don't read any of your posts on here, then.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:39, Reply)

I rarely laugh at myself
unless I've just tripped over something, or fallen off my bike being a tit.

You are in good company.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:42, Reply)

Yes, there are usually other people laughing at me at these times.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:44, Reply)

Once the queue to do this subsides, obv.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:38, Reply)

I'm getting paid?
awesome
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:34, Reply)

I will reimburse you.
Do you take arse fingering?

First genuine LOL of the day

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:38, Reply)

Sorry mate, but I have made promises in this regard
I'm sure you understand.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:34, Reply)

I've walked in places with poor O2 content
like in Bolivia, at 5000m; it gave me a headache and made me want to vomit.

I hope there's not fingering, as I won't be drunk and don't want to remember it.

Unless I'm feeling too bad
that's the plan, yes, but might be early and only for a bit.

Ok hon!
I'm learning to crochet but I think your child may be starting school before I get proficient enough to crochet an awesome baby blanket.
( girlinthehole, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:38, Reply)

I saw the "blanket" you made the other day
good start though! I tried with crochet and I'm useless, so I'll stick with cross stitching.

Maybe you can crochet the school uniforms.

DO IT!!
And bring some of that bacallao. Or whatever it was. And that Morcilla.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:39, Reply)

I got some black pudding for Monty
as a present. I don't know if he'll want me to bring it to the bash, though. It could be dangerous.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:43, Reply)

BRING IT PLEASE.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:46, Reply)

Ok, ok
but if it ends up being used for fingering I can't be hold responsible.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:47, Reply)

Try smoking at 3500m
that's lots of fun. Not while you're pregnant, obviously.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:42, Reply)

I hate smoking normally
so I don't think I'd like it at any high. But I bet it made you sick.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:44, Reply)

Try smoking cocaine at that altitude.
I'll bet that's fucking ACE.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:46, Reply)

I'm totally trying this.
You got any "sources" in Zermatt?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 14:46, Reply)

nah. It's just harder. especially when it's minus 30 degrees.
then again I've raced mountain bikes at over 3500m as well so maybe my lungs are altitude-proof.

I could barely walk.
