Apparently us poor bastards in Melbourne [Australia] are in for the hottest stretch of days in 100 years... [bit tough for the Oz Open [tennis], too]....
Today it'll be 38...
Tomorrow [Wednesday] 41
Then 40, 40, 40, 30, 30.
Yes, that's centigrade....for those still in the dark ages that's [C x 9/5] + 32 = Fahrenheit....
Jafo wasn't kidding when he said it was hot.
"Well, how hot was it Jafo?" (*sound of crowd repeating)
It was so hot look what happened:
Get bent Fuzzy I dare you to come over here and say that
....what....I got bigger? ....
Jafo, that's just wrong mate
Wiseguy, eh? (Curly accent)
Just spoke with the weatherman...especially for you. Bwah hah hah. I'll be thinking of you today:
Wind chill -6 here today and I was out in a short jacket and T-Shirt..
It's going to snow Monday and Tuesday - might have to get one of my big coats out
Put yer tinnies outside...
About sums up the tennis.
Too true...Illogical...who wants to hit one's balls in any weather?
WHAT!?!?!?!?!!?!?
Tennis, TG: A game played with 2 or 4 participants. A rectanglar court divided by a net delineates the 'territory' of the participants. Each has a raquet and strives to hit the ball into the opponent's territory where he/she cannot hit it back. The scoring system is illogical and complex.
The game is frequently played in inhospitable weather conditions (vis. starkers reference and rain). I was referring to the ridiculous custom of hitting one's balls only to have to pursue them as in golf, baseball, etc. Why hit them in the first place if one then has to chase them?
What didn't you understand?
Notice, that I laughed Doc.. also notice, I gave you Karma for that post.
Note.. I do know what Tennis is, I've played it.
Something weird with the karma all day...Zubaz is siphoning mine off systematically. I was playing with you and the explanation.... and I know you know that you little minx!
Did I ever mention Dr. Renee Richardson, an Ophthalmologist who went to Sweden back in the early '60's for sex change surgery? Well, he was quite the player and after the surgery wrote a book, "Tennis Without Balls".
Of course I know this Doc, I have an IQ of 185
Day 5..... still not king...
OK...for those who don't get it....
THE SECRET DIARY OF ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN

*****************
Supposed to be 37 or 9 ....don't really care anymore....
Didn't go cycling...got side-tracked with WC stuff.
The fun's gone out of it [the weather]....time to change it, m'kay, God?
Jafo gets another beer.
Are you playing D & D or something Jafo?
Here, have one of my beers dear!
It's so FREAKIN' hot here, I just asked my son to turn the AC on.. he said.. 'It's been on all day Mum'.
The heat does that to you...
Looks like we've lost 6 lives and 24 houses so far....
Victoria shares the rep with California as the world's 2 worst places for bushfires.
Snowballs anyone?
This is tomorrow's forecast - I'm right at the tip of the cursor.
Quoting myself.. when I was 15.. 'It was hot today... this was caused by heat from the sun'.
[Long story......... ]
My sister and brother-in-law dropped in today. They told me their house I'd designed for them in Boolara [Southeast of Melbourne] was lost in the fires. {they'd sold it years ago].
That's the second of 'mine' I've lost....the first was in Ash Wednesday at Cockatoo .....that was brand new...with only the shower screen left to install before hand-over.
I for one would personally castrate the fire-bugs. Last thing we need is for the pricks to breed.
I do a mean burdizzo

Found this interesting....shows just how empty Oz is...
OMG. Just Wiki'd that. Bloody ouch, Ausvet.
We get those demented idiots here too. One can only wish their car doesn't start after doing something like that. Darwin Prize indeed.
