V01 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 It's always been the Boleyn ground, it's in Upton Park hence the use of that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 for such an old ground, it always seemed like a pile of junk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just got a terrible itch on an unreachable part of my shoulder blade. With the necessary scratching on a jutting out corner of my living room wall, to any passers by, I must have looked like Baloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nipped along to read my book in the sunshine, thought I could squeeze an SBV out but it was a proper loud one, and I got some dirty looks from a couple sitting on a park bench.

I don't get how filling your stomach with hot liquid is going to cool you down. That heat is going to transfer through your body. It's going to warm it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That heat is going to transfer through your body. It's going to warm it up. It's because of science. It makes you sweat, which cools you down. If you fill one of those ice cube maker trays with warm water and another with cold water from the cold tap, and put them both in a freezer, the one with the warm water in it will freeze first. science law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Right, but I'm not an ice cube. Yeah sweating cools you down, but you're not going to notice the effects any more than usual because it's already bloody hot and you're already sweating. You will however notice the effects of drinking an ice cold drink as opposed to a boiling hot one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Drinking cold water will make you hotter as your body has to use energy to heat it up to body temperature. Stick to the hot coffee, you can't argue with science brah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd read somewhere that that was because the warm tray melted the ice lining the freezer, and thus made a better contact with the freezer plate. Whereas the cold one was insulated by the crust of ice, so took longer. If you put them both in a fully defrosted 'clean' freezer, the cold one freezes first. Or maybe I've just misremembered it...

mjmooney Posted May 12, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yep, coffee (unlike tea, beer, etc.) is guaranteed to have me busting for a piss within ten minutes of drinking it. No effect on bowels, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
