  1. I'm recently back home after a couple of weeks holiday in a much warmer
    place. Today I went out on a bike for the first time since and I was
    amazed at the changes which have taken place in such a short time.

    All my clothes have become much tighter and the hills have become much
    steeper. What's been going on? Surely this can't be the result of
    global warming?

    You'll probably find your saddle has turned to stone as well.

    Na, I think that's the result of Global Porking.

    Also reminded me of the Citroen Monospoke, a classic line of reasoning >🙂

    No. The poplulation explosion is the result of Global Porking.

    Then again, if 'Brian' is a girl then his condition could well be the result
    of a godd porking...

    No, it's all that passive eating that goes on.

    Yes. that extra half degree causes thermal bodily expansion ( which does not
    effect inert clothing). The increased temperature makes the atmosphere less
    dense, as most of it has risen. This in turn makes breathing more difficult,
    giving rise to the feeling that hills are higher, which they also are, due
    to expansion caused by increased temperature, and a certain amount of rise
    caused by the reduction in atmospheric pressure. Live with it.

    It also heats up and relaxes the spring in your scales, and
    therefor the number shown on the display will be higher.

    Wow, thank goodness! There was me thinking it was all caused by two
    weekls of Margeritas and Pina Coladas ;-)
