Well there goes the most boring,tedious,depressing Autumn known to all of humanity in the history of the world evah - dang that global warming. Winter has an awful lot of making-up to do. Don't mind a dearth of snow but something with a glimmer of life would be a start, instead of 3 months of complete nothingness as we've just endured.

Having been "accused" of being gay simply because I am single and hate football lends me to think many do not understand it fully.
I am not by the way.
I despise football too, don't follow the traditional 'manly' pursuits, shun crowds and prefer my own company or that of family and close friends, but as far as I know I've never been thought of as gay to any degree whatsoever.

As far as science tells us, no one is 100% straight or gay. You can be at the most straight end of the scale as you can possibly be and believe you are so, but the chances are you will still respond on some level to sexual material involving another man. It's just the way we are built!
Um,no, I really don't think so. The exact opposite in fact. Trust those pesky scientists, again.

I don't think it's possible to be completely 100% straight or 100% gay. As Lauren and TWS have said, sexuality is on a scale and is not categoric.
At the risk of starting a row (I'll back out right now) I assure you 100% that I'm 100% straight. That's not some kind of 'boast' and I have no problem with a person's sexuality - just saying how it is when applied to me personally.
-
Sexuality is a spectrum, we know that for a fact.
Speak for yourselves - I'm 100% straight.

I hadn't realised that ASD could cause those types of hypersensitivities.
Oh for sure, and it also causes one to see things in a very black or white way - which is no doubt why I'm the recipient of many posting restrictions and warnings on NW! My drum has crap insulation but all-new double glazing about four years ago. It is technically 'cold' in here - it's just that I don't feel it...

Does Mrs laserguy get a choice about the heating?
Nope - she gets the choice of which fluffy cardigan to wear. Heating still not on....
-
Grey, misty, quite dark all day - anyone else think November is the worst month of the year?
No, I love it. I'd rate June and July as the worst.

My suspicion is that 'gayness' genes don't get passed on anyway...
By definition, 'gayness genes' are very unlikely to be passed on!!

A tough lot these Yorkies.
No,no,no! Don't say I'm 'tough' or 'hard' - you'll get 'cheese' all worked up. It's just how I am, and I wilt at the merest hint of warmth. Going out in ten minutes... in jeans and t-shirt.

Yeah my old place was a nightmare for condensation and damp. Both assist in the forming of mould which are very bad for your health. The ideal is to change the air daily (by opening windows for a time)......
We've got one of those nifty devices in the loft which draws fresh air from the outside and forces (potentially) stale air thru' air vents in the walls/door joints etc. Bye-bye condensation and black mould. Another bonus is that it keeps the house fractionally cooler than it would otherwise be - win win. Still no heating on here....
-
don't expect it to get cold enough this winter to turn on the heating.
Me neither - just like 2010.

News this morning is the probe has gone into "sleep" mode to save the remaining power it has.
I find myself doing that an awful lot,these days - it's my age, y'know. Hope they get this thing fixed - such a shame after all the colossal effort and time to pull off the incredible feat of getting it there.
-
Just watched this on the news and was almost crying with relief - God knows how all those involved must be feeling. This is rocket science!

It can get to about 1c then the heating will go on, and even then it will be to take the chill of my house, I keep Tarantulas and putting the heating on for too long will mess up the seaons for them.
That's the spirit! Why dontcha chuck the tarantulas in the fridge (kept apart from cooked meat, of course)?

what is the temp in your room?
Dunno, don't care until me ale starts to falter - and it's got to be less than 14C for that to happen. All's well on that front but I'm not sure how, given the recent 'cold' nights and the heating never having been on throughout.
-
Well at least the misery of the recent warmth has gone and it's now a little more comfortable, but heating on? Yeah,right. Long way to go before that becomes anything remotely like a necessity.

Ninety seven million, ninety seven billion - whatever. Makes no odds, we'll still never get the forecast thunderstorm.

They ain't got nuthin' on our six-month old moggie who in the space of one hour last week dragged thru' the cat flap 3 rats, 5 or 6 mice, 3 blackbirds, a coupla sparrows and a whole bunch of worms. He's now grounded.

People go on about wanting the extra hour of an evening. What exactly are you going to do with the extra daylight on a soggy, windy and cold evening anyway? It's not as if you can sit outside and enjoy warm temperatures in the depths of winter.
Meanwhile, dark by 5pm today - winter's coming
And in the interests of fairness, they've had the last 6 months for that type of nonsense - sheesh how much more do they want?? Anyways, ten to four now and the light is already starting to fade. Awesome!!!

In December it is dark at 4pm - a clear hour before work ends.
6 hours before my work starts/ 2 hours after it ends, or 2 hours into it depending on what shift I'm on. How many people hold down the mythical 9-5 anyway, these days? Botts, you need to choose another career path if your daylight cravings are becoming so obtrusive.

Yes, my heating is now on. But before y'all faint in shock, it's only on in one room, courtesy of a small one-bar electric fire, and it ain't for my benefit. I've got 10 gallons of ale and 8 gallons of wine on the go, and progress is now a little sluggish. Can't provide heat for them individually so they're all snuggled up together in one warm room - bless. As for me, it's still t-shirt weather, the back door is wide open and I'm simply melting.

Finally! Today it's going to get dark at a sensible time. Going to enjoy the next 6 weeks or so as things continue to improve further, until the pendulum swings and the whole sorry cycle starts over. Bit light this morning tho'!

I have the heating on a bit just take take the chill out of the rooms .....
What chill? The heat emanating from the back of my telly is enough to push things into 'uncomfotable' territory.

Do genes make you gay?
in Space, Science & nature

It would seem that I'm one of the few remaining great hairy-chested creatures of our age! Maybe most folk do sit somewhere on the so-called spectrum but for better or worse I'm 100% hetero, no ifs,buts or maybes. Where would natural selection/survival of the fittest etc come into it anyway? By definition a 'homesexual gene' cannot gain dominance, and a repressive one would see it eventually become extinct. Is it therefore implied that homosexual people are less likely to reproduce because of some simultaneous 'defect' that shouldn't be passed on?
