Poo on this weather, Neal posted a topic on Facebook "If it's winter in Texas, is it summer Down Under?" The forcast here in Adelaide is for 3 days of 41C (104F) then 39C (102F), it is 3.00pm and currently 42C, it's like walking in a damned furnas outside! .... Not amused!

Whoo! 40C would be unbearable for me. Canadians can't really take the heat that well. How do you get by?

Its easy mate - throw on the shorts and thongs, a wifebeater, and go to the beach with a few brews. Follow up with a barbie in the evening, with a few more brews, and you've got it made

Same here in Melb, all friggin week we're going to have north winds blowing in the hot air off the Simpson desert, nothing below 30c till Saturday, and even then its only a brief break before the temp goes back up during next week. Next week doesnt look much better. I tell you I'll be glad when April/May roll round again. I can't stand the hot weather, even if I do have cold brews and a pool at home.

Yes, then either get a bad case of skin cancer or drown in sun block!!

Damn, I hate Summer here.

At least everything at work is air cond! Even the train cabs on the older trains!

Still no fun being outside though!

Geno_Mariner · 01-27-09, 05:38 AM

Work has Air Con but it's so cruddy. It doesn't even cool the entire restaurant (I'm in McDonalds as a cleaner

). You can only get cooled down by it if you stand or sit under a vent

Really hate summer here right now
