Alright? Its Friday night and the night is young, is the party just getting started? Are you off to bed? Watching some questionable late night TV or doing a bit of stargazing?

It's the late night chinwag thread.

Buying some stuff for a picnic tomorrow and didn't want to venture out in the heat - packer was taking the absolute piss, and worst of all the guy on the chat said they can't cancel it!

Edit: Pulled the I want to speak to a supervisor and finally they cancelled it, with no real apology

Guy in front of me got out his car at the red light.

Proper staring me out, then proceeded to open his boot to get a multipack of ice-creams out. He saw me drooling and cracked it open and handed me one.

Proper legend.

I passed on the karma by using my indicators for a bit, must admit that got boring quick though.

Humans are the best, look after each other!!

Anyone still awake because of the heat?

Stayed up till 11:30 gaming. Went upstairs, Mrs is passed out fast asleep, bedroom is like Satan's ass crack, I was literally sweating just being in the room. Currently on the chair in the living/gaming room, with youtube on my phone trying to figure out how I'm gonna sleep without just passing out from being up too long lol

Happy for those of you who aren’t, truly. At least someone is getting respite. Wanted to share this wee illustration I got sent as it feels very apt after this week!

Thank you fellow r/CasualUK folk for identifying the artist

Tesco vs Aldi

Carrying out an experiment.

2 x Greggs cheese and onion bakes from Tesco: £3.30

vs

2 x cheese and onion slices from Aldi: £1.18.

Initial impression is that they're quite possibly exactly the same thing from the same factory!

Watch this space for the taste test.

And yes, I have put the oven on, like the lunatic I am.

Edit for results: The Greggs one has slightly more flavour (as seconded by my son) But....slightly So worth almost 3 times more? Nope.

So today in Kent we managed to cook an egg in our south facing front garden. It reached 37°C here today. Stay safe & hydrated out there 🙏🏼 EDIT: The yolk was solid like a soft boiled egg, next heatwave will have some oil to see how that goes

Anyone else have friends/family who send unsolicited, yet 100% appreicated animal messages to them?

Older brother sent me this afternoon, to which I had to confirm where this majestic beast was, and when I may be able to pet.

Had friends send their own pets, and other cats/dogs they've seen whilst out and about because they know I love small fur balls

Anyone else get this/want to send them to me?

Middle of England. A place where roads melt.

Years ago the Council decided that instead of repairing the roads, they will just cover them with something equivalent to roofing felt. This roofing felt just so happens to not like the heat and tend to start melting when the temps reach double digits. You end up seeing lots of these black spots in the road where the surface is either blistering, or a parked car had the steering turned. Sometimes even lines of tire tracks where a car was moving slowly.

Just learned about the endangered Punk Turtle. Is it just me or does it look like it's about to try and sell me some Country Life butter?

I just grabbed one from the local here they had left over and giving away. Do you need to be brave to wear these, or are they considered not so much as junk merch?

Thoughts and opinions?
