Got a new home desktop yesterday, and it came with Windows 8. And I actually ... like it. Maybe because I haven't use it extensively by now, but still, it looks good.

Same here.
Welcome notable improvements to IE Merge / Overwrite etc. dialogs. When multiple Shell operations are running, all will be listed in the same progress window.
I find the Metro parts badly executed sometimes, but conceptually, a progress. Puts much more focus on content and less on window dressing.
OTOH, file association handling has completely changed (and now is semi-broken for our software), and I haven't yet figured out what's the new good way to deal with that.

It is nice improvement over Windows 7. I like the integrated apps (everything good about windows phone os is now on windows os), like email, chat, news, cloud storage etc... most of the time, you do not have to open a browser and type url, because of all those apps.
It also have impressive startup and shutdown times. (if you install it on your existing setup).
and when you click 'More Details' on a file operation, it will satisfy your information hungriness. You can even pause the operations now.
And do not forget the mighty 'Windows + X' when on the desktop.

That was the official outside temperature today, that is over 116 in that scale you other twats use. It was way hotter inside the giant tin shed I was working in.
Almost 6 hours later I am currently replenishing my lost body fluids with beer which has almost run out, OP Rum to follow.

It's finally climbed up to zero, here. The morning started at -6.

Centigrade (I don't hold with the poncy rename to "celcius")

Anders Celsius was the inventor of the scale. Centigrade is the rename.

Reference please.
I can't find any evidence that he himself ever called it anything but 'grader'[^] (degrees).
The first names for thermometers using the Celsius scale and method was 'Celsius Novum','Ekström' and 'Strömer'.[^]
Celsius Novum rather then Celsius while the scale was inverted compared to what Celsius himself used.

My b-i-l in Adelaide told us it was 45 degC a couple of weeks back. He said their garden plants are completely fried. I don't envy his commute to work. He drives an old wreck of a Mazda (I suppose new ones aren't much better?) and it takes him 30-40 mins to reach the practice where he works. It's bloody cold here at the moment (and snowing) so I'd happily give you my -2 degC in exchange for 25degC of yours.

You rat! it is snowing heavily here, I am sitting at work, left the house at 07:28 didn't get through the door here until 10:10 walked several miles, am damp and thinking about running (or sliding home!) the UK is better prepared this time but still unprepared, how do Norway and other snowy country's do it?

Hmmm... I can't talk for the norwegian guys. But here in switzerland we are usually using Snow Plows[^]. And we're putting huge loads of salts on the streets to avoid ice roads.
cheers,

Here its a case of Snow!!! the country stops for two days! its so uncommon most salt bins in Bristol are full of pizza boxes, empty cans, bottles (one I passed here this morning had a dead cat  ).

Mr Patton we have listerned to your comments and have decided to act, we are to purchase 50 new plough/snow blowers, stock up on hude amounts of salt (building new storeage for it), buying all drivers snow tyres and training them in cold weather driving our airports ae to be equiped with the same equipment as Oslo, this way we will be fully equiped o cope with the 2.5 days of snow we get every year (oh but by the way like Norway Russia etc the first 1/2 day of heavy snow will still cause distruption as we cannot plough until it has fallen)
we hope this meets your approval and think this is a good way of spending the 30% increase in Council tax and the 5p extra in income tax
