If you line them all up, how do you stay cool? Then they're just blowing somewhere into the cabin.

OTOH, maybe this isn't a problem in nippy ol' England. Here in Texas, I need all the vents pointed at me. Even the ones on the passenger side.

When I need A/C in the States or about 3 days a year here they stay lined up but all pointing at the roof on the basis that hot air rises. Works a treat. As a scientist you should know that.

Trust me, not in the kind of weather she's talking about. You want speedy direct surface evaporation, not just generalized temperature reduction. I'm not sure you can conceive of a Texas summer. It's 9 months long!

You come to Texas and we'll give that a shot. After 10 minutes when you're completely dehydrated from sweating and begging me to turn the vents back down, we'll see who the scientist is.

Lucky biatch. And I've been in Texas in the summer - can't work out what y'all are bitchin' about. That's just nice and warm as far as I'm concerned. Must admit to being convinced I was a meerkat in a former life. If not I intend to come back as one.

Let's see, got woken up last night by a crack of lightning right over the house and so much wind the chairs blew around on the deck, then when I was in the barn today it rained and hailed so hard the floor drain backed up with water and hail into the aisle and only quick work with brooms and towels saved the hay from getting wet.
Can I trade ? 74 and partly sunny sounds delicious.

Oh, and to keep on topic, it's the Stig, because he's an international man of mystery and as someone has already suggested, he'll never say the wrong thing. Ask me next week though and it will be one of the others, likely

Gotta be James, hands down. He's intelligent, funny, handsome and has a quiet confidence I find very attractive. He's also playful, mischievous, a gentleman, yet at the same time endearingly shy and awkward.

He also has great legs.

Hamster, to me, is like a little brother. He's endearing and cheeky and annoying, yet there's something vulnerable about him that brings out my protective instincts.

Jezza, on the other hand, is like an old mate. Sometimes loud and boisterous, always opinionated, yet quick to laugh and joke around with. These last two traits were put to the test in a recent dream I had where I went to his house and tin-foiled everything in his garage. I laughed. He laughed.

Don't know how well that would go down in real life, though.

This. Season 10, episode 3. The news where he gets up to fix the bezel on jeremy's watch. Oh. My. God.
There is a reason I have that ep on my iPhone

His butt also looks brilliant in that shot. And considering I'm not a butt person, that's saying something!!!!

Do you or your respective partners have the hots for any of the TG boys, and if it's your other half do you care or do you think it's cool/hot/freaky?

Have you seen Oz & James? When Oz takes James to the vineyard spa? Lemme tell ya, hun, you'll see much more than the back of James's jeans!

Also, I agree with your hidden text! And again direct you to Oz & James!
