This thing about drinking tea cooling you down
is bollocks, in my opinion.

It makes you hotter, as your internal energy has increased. So you sweat more, as a cooling mechanism. Now, given optimum conditions, evaporative cooling does indeed cool you down. But if you're already sweating anyway, and are still too warm, drinking hot tea isn't going to help.

If it's really humid, sweat doesn't evaporate much. So not only do you become hotter, you become sweatier and more uncomfortable.

That's what I thought, even if it does cool you down in the long run
you have to suffer for it.

It's totally illogical
One of those myths such as tapping the top of a can to stop it frothing over.

Whereas tapping you makes you froth over

I fucking love a good tapping I do
You know what upset me recently Lab? I met Applebite, and despite her going on about how much she likes to get naked I barely saw a bit of thigh as she had long socks on. And, what made it worse is that when you actually meet a nubile 19 year old in real life any sort of leching on them is actually creepy and disgusting.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 12:34, Reply)

I figured that might be the case
And whilst 19 is comfortably legal, it's still a bit creepy at our age :/

Is Applebite a nice lass though? Don't want our Chompy marrying just any old bint.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 12:59, Reply)

It was good
Them Crooked Vultures - Massive ego wank project that didn't deserve to be on the main stage, or even the second stage IMO.
AC/DC - Brilliant as always
Lamb of God - Heavy as always
Megadeth - Awesome, played most of Rust in Peace
HIM - pretty good, Ville isn't a fat smackhead any more so they sounded better than the last time I saw them
RATM - Bloody fantastic
Saxon - Amazing, played the whole of Wheels of Steel
Slash - Fucking incredible, Myles Kennedy is a fantastic singer, I said at one point I thought it was almost as good as seeing GnR at their peak, but actually it was better as you didn't have that whiny ginger cunt spouting bollocks.
Billy Idol - Great fun, but it started raining really hard
Motorhead - watched half of the set which was really good, but I was really cold and wet so I marked it at that point and drove home.

Would have loved to see RATM, so quite jealous.

did you think that about Them Crooked Vultures before seeing them?
aside from that, it sounds awesome.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:07, Reply)

I thought TCV sounded like
every other project which Josh Homme is involved in, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the amount of press TCV have got is ridiculous given how much they are basically just a jam session between a bunch of people who obviously get on well.

The music doesn't have any significant merit and certainly isn't worthy of second on the main stage. I thought QOTSA have got less interesting with each album, I saw them at Reading after Rated R came out and they were great, but I've seem them since and they've got progressively more boring.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 17 Jun 2010, 13:13, Reply)

I'm going to have to disagree with you slightly
because some of the stuff on the TCV album is musically really quite special, but I'm certain that is down to John Paul Jones being the most incredible bassplayer and an amazing musician in general.

I was blown away by the album at first, but I haven't listened to it in months.

They have had too much publicity it's true, but hardly surprising given how much the music press love Dave Grohl alone, regardless of the other two being popular.

I thought
that the best temperature, for a drink to cool you down, is tepid. So the body doesn't have to work as hard to make it digestible. Or something. I'm fairly sure there's a reason I was told that cold water doesn't refresh you on a hot day.

Or maybe I'm getting it completely wrong and merely rambling inanely.
