WHERE'S THE HEAT? .. and Kalgoorlie pubs sell designer beer!

Am I missing something? Or is this really just a weather report?

Yes, it's a weather report.

May I? May I may I?

GYOFB!

And, jeraboam, I think maybe you're missing something. The temperatures under the smiley-sun icons aren't Fahrenheit / Celsius, they're High and Low temperatures in Fahrenheit.

If you scroll down a little, you'll see that the high temps in Celsius for Kalgoorlie over the next few days are:

-27C
-26C
-31C

Which isn't really all that hot. I think it's going to be hotter than that in Brisbane, over the same days, and I wouldn't have said Brisbane was the record holder in Australian high temperatures.

Course, could be mistaken that that was the mistake you were makin'.

YM in Celsius. And 27 °C is about 45 degrees Celsius higher than the temperature here. So stop whining.

He's not whining, for God's sake. He is asking "where is all the heat I thought I was going to get hit over the head by in Kalgoorlie now that I am here?"

Which isn't really all that hot.

Which is exactly what is being said here.

Ahhhhh, gedditnow!

See, I thought... well, the link said... you know, 'Where's the heat?'... and it linked to Kalgoorlie... And then there where those big numbers, so I had this whole 'he's saying this is where the heat is' thing going on... but instead it was like... 'Where is the heat?'... and, ahahahaha, I missed it entirely, yeah.

Right, I'm off to the Whipping Master for some well-deserved flogging. Carry on as you were.

As an outlander, I'm shocked by the designer beer revelation.

And deplore the dearth of parrot pictures.

It'll get hot, just wait.

Glad to see that ye've made it safley to Kalgoorlie, jeraboam! How is dear Tallulah coping with her incarceration?

hope you've made it safely too

I'm having a bacon and egg butty for lunch. No beetroot.

It's bedtime and I'm sleeping on the couch. The in-laws are here and we donated our bed to them. We are too kind.

it's a beautiful crisp minus four celsius here today. bright and sunny. might get as high as zero.

there's a definite lack of parrot pictures on this thread.

...the high temps in Celsius for Kalgoorlie over the next few days are:

Minus 31 is mighty chilly. Much chillier than the frozen fenlands of Canada right now.

How kind of you to give up your bed. Couches can be uncomfortable, though. You should do what I do when the in-laws arrive: stay at a hotel with a hooker. I sleep in a comfortable bed, there are less fights at home, and I am four ounces lighter.

Yes, but where do the owls sleep?

Fuck the heat, Where's the cold?

The Russians stole the cold!!

Never happy with the weather there, are you? Too cold/not cold enough. Honestly!

The Russians stile the cold!

Did they take the parrots, too?

Pirates?

Global warming.

womble glaring.

Pirates.

I work in a glass-walled office a few yards away from the single set of glass doors to my building. In January. In New York. What chucklehead designed that setup? I've taken to wearing gloves to work and keeping one of them microwave rice heat packs on my lap.

The Year of the Fire Dog begins on January 28th, this Sunday. Fire element, yang energy.

Wolof, I salute thee!
One noted that there has not been the heat one was lead to expect one would have to endure in Kalgoorlie and environs.
Tallulah is still 'quarantine-d' and I am told she "was beside herself with excitement on first sight of members of her species in the wild" - as it were!

It's snowing like a mo-fo here in Id-ho. Can hardly see across the street. We had a lot of 20% chance of precipitation coming down yesterday--today we have 90%, and it's gonna be a bugger.

One thing about working in a hospital, it's 24/7/365 no matter how deep it gets.

It's been 40f-50f here in Upstate NY, even 60 a couple weeks ago. All of January. I think it may be a sign of the End Times. Usually about 10 below zero here this time of year lately. Sunny today and 45.

Be careful out there, gram-ma!

"The Year of the Fire Dog begins on January 28th, this Sunday. Fire element, yang energy."

I thought I'd felt more energy in my yang yesterday. Not fire so much as a glowing warmth, though. Had the idea it was the chili from Saturday night, but now I find out it was the Fire Dog.

Well done Fire Dog! Consider this your free plug!

Explains why I was out barking at the moon and sniffing my own butt.

Fire dog explains the stinking heat here lately. Too hot for dogs, even.

One wishes one could transport a carton of snow to New Zealand.

One would like that about now.

Most would, one expects.

jereboam, is Tallulah out of quarantine yet?

jereboam's not been here since February 7 ... hopefully not lost in the wilds of western Australia
