Where's the rain?

Thank God there isn't any rain.
Could you imagine how muggy it would be. **** that.

I can't be bothered watering tonight haha.

You should do what the rest of Perth does and water at 2pm

I must of missed that directive

44 degrees today... not a good day to have your aircon bung

44 degrees and I'm heading to the Glory later. This is one of those very rare occasions where I contemplated not going.

I once lived in a street where a house down the road would have the sprinklers on probably three times a day, every day, all year.

Grass was greener than green.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Getting over this bitching and moaning about the heat today everywhere I go. For freaks sake, its Perth in January.

 

[Scotland]

To be fair, 44 degree heat is pretty unbearable when you are on holiday and able to go to the beach etc. or working in an air-conditioned office.

 

[Kram]

At least you usually get an afternoon sea breeze, try living in the wheatbelt or the Goldfields in summer.

 

[Scotland]

How awesome would it be if right now was 4.30pm...

There's not much respite this arvs at all. I'm right near the beach and it's not happening today.

What are you doing on here, get in the water man!

Are you a Victorian?

Nothing dumber than being outside in the peak of the heat. By the time you get home, you're hot and wanting another swim again. The optimum swimming times on these scorchers are before about 10:30 and after 4:30ish. It was so bizarre when you'd see people on Melbourne trams going to an oily hole like St Kilda Beach on a 45 degree day, in a sweaty metal tram with heat reflecting from the buildings to the road to the glass, after sitting in the sun on the sand all day. That's just making you hotter than sitting at home.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Meh, half of the country and most of New Zealand works in this heat 12 hours everyday - quit ya whinging

 

[Freofalcon]

What are you in with the rebels hahaha the malaga... got a few stories from that place, You might as well come down to the Armadale local and have a few.

48 degrees in Armadale today.
May have been brave enough to have an ale or two if I was in the area.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

How awesome would it be if right now was 4.30pm...

What difference would it make?

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Still 36 degrees fml.

 

[Scotland]

What difference would it make?

All the people in air conditioned office buildings would be commuting home an hour earlier when it's hotter?

 

[Off The Couch]

Still 36 degrees fml.

Harden up - the weathers been pretty good to this point.

I LOVE IT

Probably was worse because we were playing with 4 a side and no subs.

What were you playing? I have to admit that I went for a walk about 8 this morning and was only gone about 30 minutes and was sunburnt - that is the downside to this weather.

Yeah doesn't take long in this weather. Basketball, we only had 4 players so they had to play with 4 as well.

 

[Nothing]

What? So your team failed to get a starting five and the other team get penalised as well? WTF sort of half arse comp are you playing in.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

I know it's rediculous. We even said they could have their five on the court to our four but the ump wouldn't let them. Just a week too early to start after Christmas with a few people still away etc.

 

[Stronzo]

Hi guys not sure if this is the place, but could anyone recommend:
- Good beachy pubs in the Perth region?
- Venue for Australia Day/Hottest 100 (perhaps ties in with question 1)
- Any other good joints (live music, food or just bad ass activites for a group of dudes to do)
Cheers

I'm yet to visit it, but a new pub has opened in Fremantle called Bathers beach house. I hear it's the goods, and closer to the beach than any pub in Perth.

The cottesloe hotel and OBH are also good.

Live music - Mojos in North Fremantle.
