[Strawb]

my new years
Worked in 35 C heat because aircon at work didn't wanna work.
Got home cooked tea and had a quiet beer.
Watch Sir Elton John, Countdown, and the Mamma's and the pappa's.
Went to bed
12.30 next door's party kicks into high gear and f**King music blasting waking up my kids
1.10 called cops
1.30 cops been music gets turned up louder.
2.00 Cops come back
2.20 music up even louder kid screaming the house down
3.00 music turned right down kids got to sleep at 3.30
6.30 kids wake up again.
F*CK i hate new years.

[smac]

I can sympathise strawbs.

But how long ago was it when you thought the neighbour who called the cops was a w@nker?

never because I suck when it comes to Parties I was always at them never throwing them and when I had enough to drink and eat I always pulled up stumps and went home.

Don't tell mrs smac that blokes like you exist, I keep telling her we're all loud, obnoxious and generally offensive on the grog.

God help me if she finds out otherwise.

[Blue Boy]

Cold Beer and a ten man spa await me this evening !!!

Why would you want ten men in a spa?

Figure of speech

The best I can come up with @ the moment ( avatar wise )

My Spa parties have become legendary - just get me in a spa and the rest just happens !!!

[JAS]

OK, well maybe for a week then. Would just love a break from this damn cold, wet, dark weather.

Here, here JTC...and not getting a summer up here cos the damn gulf stream (or whatever they called it) shifted 500 miles south this year didn't help. Like they say...money can't buy happiness but at least you can be miserable in comfort...I'd like to try being miserable and warm

Too cold to go outside or too hot to go outside.
(Beaches were deserted and trying to cook a BBQ would give you a coronary, not to mention every bit of plant life being dead and water running out)

Assume that if water is in such short supply the use of private swimming pools etc has been banned.

You assume wrong, its political.
You can fill your pool with 500,000 litres of water but washing the car or watering the garden with 2 litres of water is a no no.

[Psyber]

In Victoria, I believe you STILL have to buy water to fill a pool from private sources of unpalatable bore water, then treat it. I haven't checked the details because up here in the mountains you would rarely get to use one.

Last time I was in Adelaide I was amazed how much water was being thrown around in the capital of the driest state of the driest continent!

[Lunchcutter]

Oh, stop crying about the bloody weather ya bunch of softies. Last week, here, it was minus 9, and it's been cold wet and bloody dark all day long, ever since.

Take your choice,

a) Too cold to go outside at all, everything (including the car) frozen solid, damp, miserable and only about 3 hours of daylight during the day

or

b) Bloody hot, nice Barbie by the pool or the beach, 12 hours sunshine lounging by the sea, and a nice dip; when the heat gets too much

sheesh


Oh, and just to put the icing on the cake, snow is forecast later this week, just to make the conditions more miserable than they already are.

Hiya JohntheClaret Happy New Year. Over a week of 100+ degrees is not much fun either..... in fact I really think it's all relative. My dh and me have just cut short our summer holiday to Port Broughton as not going below 40 c for a week and even the evenings are hot in the high twenties...really sucked cause even with the air condish we were kinda going stir crazy all the family sitting in one room watching DVD's and no one really venturing outside until the sun is close to going down. cant even go fishing cause the coastal winds are high and its not too sun smart to be out on the water for long periods in this heat.... probably have to take a second mortgage to cover the summer cooling bill... (air condish has been on 24/7 solid)... not only that but everyone seems a little more tetchy than usual... lucky for us I spose the heat only lasts say 3-3.5 months here. Bring on Easter break when *cross fingers * the weather should be more bearable and we can get amongst the fish.

[johntheclaret]

Well, the snow has arrived. Oh joy slip sliding along the lane as I watched the ar5e end of my car go sliding past me.

Hey Jas. How you doing up there. We got about an inch or so this morning and been snow all day. Heard you got it pretty bad.

Hey there John...thankfully up here they are well prepared for snow and ice...gritters have been out for days and the worst of the roads ie those over the higher passes have gates and usually get shut before anyone needs rescuing. Luckily yesterday the snow missed us...being on the coast we get some slightly weird weather...was bitterly cold but glorious sunshine all day...watched the snow clouds arcing out over the firth and skipping us altogether. Right now though it's sleet so still a chance of snow.

Stay safe
