Experienced heat exhaustion, happens when you don't hydrate properly.

I had my first dehydration event at Glastonbury fest in 1986 when you could just jump the wall!! I found out drinking shit loads of beer doesn't help!!:ROFLMAO: A good old friend of mine who was with us at the time had a mental break down!! He was diagnosed as being nuts so i found an ambulance and the crew took him to hospital. He also was dehydrated and wasn't taking his meds. Found that out two weeks later. Not good in anyway shape or form, listen up people drink beer followed by water breaks when the weather goes stupid hot!!(y)

My eldest daughter called an hour ago to say she's in hospital (A&E) she was talking jibberish but mentioned sun stroke. Really weird nonsensical conversation but her fella was there with her 🤷‍♂️ She spent all yesterday in the garden / sun working (30 degrees in the shade) and never drank much.

She's waiting for the Doctor to see here still :unsure:

Far too hot for riding bikes 🥵

It was not bad at all at the higher elevations. Most of the ride was well paced and shaded through the forest areas, 100+mph sweepers in a few sections, not a lot of traffic out there today ('cept for the towns). Ironically, the ride home in traffic on the highway was the slowest and hottest part of the ride.

It's weird how this type of injury just creeps up on a person. I hope she's ok and recovers.

Hope things work out for the better, it is a real lesson to learn and a very easy situation to get into without having a real life threat!! Once bitten twice shy!! (y)

Still waiting for a reply from my morning message to her fella - she didn't have her phone with her in the hospital last night so used his to call me 🤷‍♂️

Jaws was only accidentally a good thriller.

If they could have gotten the mechanical shark to work properly, Jaws would have been a creature-feature and would likely be forgotten now.

It was the failings with the shark that meant the film had to rely on other factors, specifically the 3 men in a the boat. There is not a similar length stretch of film that comes close to it IMO, the 3 of them are just brilliant together .

Shaw took the script for the USS Indianapolis monologue and re-wrote it. Sheet genius dialogue but the whole scene was incredible.

Years ago I had a problem with a factory abroad, I sent my contact there a strongly worded email and the clip of Quint drinking his beer and then crushing the can. He replied with a clip of Hooper drinking his water and crushing the plastic cup. Problem solved .
