Aberdeen - Now safe

[Gareth]

As temperatures reached a highest ever recorded 29 degC. in Aberdeen
yesterday 17th July 2006......
Panic gripped the streets of Aberdeen yesterday when patches of sky took
on an unusual blue colour and a ball of fire appeared above the city.

The phenomenon, known as 'The Sun', and commonly found in Mediterranean
countries such as Greece and England, unleashed a terrifying heat and
brightness upon the city, causing many ordinary Aberdonians to tear off
their hats and scarves in mid July.

While most of the motorists were able to turn their headlights and
wipers fully off, some feared that they would be scalded or blinded by
'The Sun's' intense radiation of heat and light.

Jack McConnell, speaking from a Sun-proof bunker lying deep under
Aberdeen's King St. urged people to be calm and return to work as
normal, stating: "We've seen this sort of thing before, it happened
once In 1945 and we put it down to the war".

Fearing it could lead to a break out of cheerful, happy smiling he said
"Don't worry it will never last, it can't. Our natural Siberian climate
with its force 9's, ferocious chill factor and horizontal rain will soon
put pay to these shenanigans. Aberdeen will soon be freed from this
terrifying situation and we can all return to our natural drab, downbeat
selves complaining all the time and being suspicious about everything."

No sooner had the apparition occurred, than a large, dark ominous cloud
moved in from Ellon, covering the city and efficiently blocking out the
horrible, dangerous sun. The familiar horizontal driving rain made a
welcome return and once again the cafe's along the sea front reinstated
their usual metal shutters to protect themselves from the pounding they
take as the sea crashes down to top of them in summer.

However, it still wasn't as cold, drab or depressing as Peterhead.
