Its cold.

[eliiiiza]

Just use the heater when you're in the room. And remember to switch it off when you leave!

Gawd, Kittenish. You're making this alot harder than it needs to be!

OR get an electric blanket! Or doesn't your room have a power socket?

Tell you what, it's getting a pain in the arse having to turn the air con off when I leave for work

Some of the boys from India I live with said it was 48 back home. Forty-****ing-eight. I'm never bitching about the heat here again!

 

[re cat]

I'll be back in a minute just going to put another log on my roaring fire.

ANything over 38 feels the same though.

 

[fugsy]

I feel for you guys today...it's a bit cooler today than the past couple of weeks.

When i was in Florida, I hated how ya had to have the air con going 24/7. I lost my voice for like half the time I was there!

Yeah, it does get annoying after a while to be shouting over the aircon. At least it doesn't usually stay on for long!

 

[Shell]

Lol, no. I mean I wasn't used to being in the cold conditions all the time (and going out from that, to the extreme humidity outside can't be good for you either), so I kept losing my voice. I didn't have to shout over the noise of the air con. It was pretty quiet actually.

Oh, righto. The problem with the way they use aircon here is that the difference between the temperature inside and outside is pretty high - so it might be 20 degrees inside and then 35 and humid outside. Makes for a pretty huge contrast! I don't like being so cold so the airconditioning (especially here at work) becomes too cold and pretty annoying after a while.

Ohhh, my sympathies, dear Copernicus. However are you surviving?
My room's currently a mild 14 degrees, and I'm sittin' here in my boardies.

Ya'll are sounding like the four Yorkshiremen.
Electric blankets, beanies, whinge, whinge, whinge...Softer Than Fremantle.
What would the chant guy say?? $50 says he's slung his hammock in the fridge for the night.

ANything over 38 feels the same though.

True. A few years back I spent one Saturday mowing dust for 12 hours straight, never realising the temp had passed the predicted 39. Only once I returned home and flicked on the late news did I hear it had reached 44.

Yeah same here! But it's a necessity in Florida. (Except for Jerry Seinfelds parents ) I tried everything, like turning it right right down at night. Nothing really worked but, and yeah.. no voice for a month and a half! While I loved Flo, there is no way I could live in a climate like that, long term.

I'm making it, but thanks for your concern

I don't like constantly cold artificial air being blown on me, what can I say!

Yeah, Shell, in FLA it's the humidity that really does it - wouldn't be so bad if it was 30-35 and dry, but it's so bloody humid that it feels a lot hotter (and you sweat more!).

Yeah it's the same here...almost convinced I can swim through mid-air to work.

Luxury. Swimming? I once worked as bait on a Norwegian fishing trawler. It was overboard with me, naked of course, 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, getting hauled through icy Antarctic waters and bumping into the occasional iceberg. If my tackle was still attached at the end of the shift, I'd get half a mug o' milo and a pat on the arse. Best part of the job was meeting the plankton -fascinating conversers, plankton.

My delirium? Fourth symptom of hypothermia: the blood's draaaining from my brain. And yes, I'm fully aware that Copernicus and your good self are locally vaccinated from that experience, as you've been reminding us all BLOODY week.

Either that or I've spent too long translating Bollox' bollox.

Enjoy laughing at the plastic-smocked crowd on the Sydney replay, fellas.

 

[fugsy]

Heh...when it gets to be Winter here...you guys will be laughing at me. I'm just getting in while I can.

As for laughing at the shitty weather...I was too busy shaking my head at the umpiring to really notice.

Exactly - you can jump all over me when I'm whingeing about it being -5 in the morning and ice has formed all over the windshield

Yeah, the umpires were giving me the shits too - didn't pay too much attention to the ponchos! I was too interested in the novelty of actually watching the game live on telly...

You watched it live?? Aussie bar or something?

 

[Warwick]

Is this down in Geelong or Melbourne?

I had to put on a long-sleeved shirt the other day it got that cold.

 

[Copernicus]

There is an Irish pub here (several, actually) which get the channel which broadcast the games. There are some pubs which are apparently frequented by Aussies, but none of them are particularly close to me and would be a royal pain in the arse to get to at midnight!

So, yeah, I watched the first half live, at any rate. Couldn't drag the missus out for too long

 

[scottydeewah]

I watched it live too, ****ing awesome it was!!

And its not that cold, hell its quiet warm and muggy here right now, 20C at 6:26pm

 

[Shell]

I'd kill for a garage. At least I wouldn't melt in summer.

And if you get me a good heater that wont cause an electrical fire, then I will stop b*tching. But til then.

Here ya go Kittenish.. Went shopping today, got a heater for $125 (reduced from about $160) at The Good Guys.. (and no it hasn't caught fire yet), as well as a double sized electric blanket from Target (currently they're having a sale on manchester) for $75.

It is most certainly not cold anymore!
