The weather in Bath has taken a nippy turn of late, with a temperature of around 4 degrees outside, and a relative humidity of 83%. Due to an efficient insulation system and dehumidification program, the temperature in this bedroom is 12.7 degrees, and humidity currently stands at a paltry 66%. In the mid-term, the weather looks set to improve slightly over the course of the next 4 days; at least if the BBC's forecast is anything to go by.
When quizzed on staying warm in cold conditions, Miss S Rance had numerous suggestions, but pinned down to two top tips volunteered: "Go outside with no clothes on, take a cold drink" and "Sit in a paddling pool for four hours". Whilst seemingly sound advice, when pressured for some evidence of authority within this field of research, she was not forthcoming with any response.
In short, wrap up warm folks.
(The titular pun is derivative of "Out of the frying pan, into the fire". What I've done is change frying pan for lake, and substituted fire for Bath. Bath can either be a proper noun here or just a regular noun - it's sort of a play on words.)

Take that dyslexia!
Today could have been better.
Having spent in excess of £3 in Moorland road McColl's (The Booze Buster) on: 4 pints of Full Fat Milk, Maryland Cookies (2 for £1.30 (I got the original and double chocolate chip varieties)) and the Guardian newspaper, I later found out I could have bought Woolworths for £1... and still have had enough money to purchase the cookies and the paper.
I have also heard 'Dakota' by Sterephonics twice; once on We7.com in the process of research for a presentation due tomorrow on peer-to-peer services and how they can become legitimate, and secondly, on Series 22: Episode 8, of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, which I was streaming in high quality from BBCiplayer.
This show was OK at best, immediately dousing what was left of the fire in my spirit, by telling me Bill Bailey "never felt comfortable" on the show. He seemed such a happy man.
Buzzcocks also featured Mitch Hewer of Britania High (and Skins) fame. I had also seen more than I liked of said show (Britannia High) watching Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, although Brooker was funny as ever. Simon Amstell's quip; "Take that dyslexia!", was a brighter moment, although did little to salvage the show which was now exuding through a layer of tediousness into complete monotony.

Humidity Update: John's humidity reader displayed a reading of 83% after he returned home around 11:15pm. He subsequently turned the dehumidifier to 'ON'.

Food for thought: Democracy
As I digest a regular portion of chips from Twerton chip shop (voted number 1 in bath, although the portions from Herbie's are more substantial) I have some thoughts regarding Democracy. According to Wikipedia, at the core of democracy is the ideal that all members of society have equal access to power, and also enjoy universally recognised freedoms and liberties. From this, I ascertain that the statement "Everyone's opinions matter" could be derived. However, I put it to you that in a society where everyone's opinion is equal, no-one's opinion matters. Also, in this model, a majority's opinions can overrule a major minority's opinions, thus rendering this group's opinions invalid. As a result, we have to watch Speed, featuring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock on BBC1 instead of Jonathan Ross. Mental.

Humidity
John's latest humidity reading comes in at 66%. That's down from 78% after approximately an hour of dehumidification using his Argos Value Range 10 Litre dehumidifier.
John's two minute review of the dehumidifier:
"Not too noisy, gets the job done, weighs around 15 kilos so make sure you're prepared for the journey home upon purchase. Will give more details after use. Efficient manual. Well packaged."
It's also 16 degrees Celsius which he has been checking with his iRox Hygrometer.
Update: John's humidity is currently in a state of fluctuation between 65 and 66%, so he's living in exciting times.
