Dan Murphys is very good for that - lots of cartons everywhere to sit on, and plenty of room for friends.Cruise wrote:my practical solution,
Go to you local bottle shop and stand in the big fridge with with all beer in it
I think this heatwave will be the last of hot weather probably until Spring. According to BOM, SA is expected to have bellow average temps and higher above rainfall over the next few months...Cruise wrote:i have a feeling it will piss down all easter then heat back up when we all go back to work.
I beg your pardon; 38 degrees in Hobart??Pikey wrote:Here's me, down in Hobart. On my way down yesterday I'm thinking "Awesome, out of the heat finally!" And yesterday was awesome, 26' still, furken lovely.
Today, on the other hand, 38 and windy as all hell!! The guys in the office are all saying "tell that Adelaide guy to piss off back home and take this weather with him!"
Showers next wednesday? Showers?? Rain?? What's that?
It's all these people building buildings over 150metres I tells ya, fire and brimstone are next... or was that this week?Omicron wrote:I beg your pardon; 38 degrees in Hobart??

Incidentally, I've noticed that I've been outside far more in this heatwave than any other time this year, and I have absolutely no idea why.
I'd like to know where exactly my tan has gotten to, now that you mention it - there's probably some European kid called Omi who suddenly has the most brilliant tan in the middle of winter and is the envy of all his friends, but he is unsure from whence the brown did come.Cruise wrote:Omicron wrote:

To work on your tan maybe?
It's quite lovely outside at the moment - BOM tells me it's 24.4, and there's a light breeze about.crawf wrote:Geez it was so hot in town today and tonight, if those northern lights were on I would of headed straight home.
Here in the hills its like about 15 degrees atm with a nice cool breeze (guess it will hit Adelaide aswell).
