True, but I've picked up some good fashion tips.

Removes Mods hat and puts it out of sight altogether.

You've been on this site long enough to know what a thread like will be like.

I have a very short fuse this week and you just lit it.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SUBJECT MATTER SOD OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE AND LEAVE THE REST OF US ALONE

I feel better for that, could someone pass me more wine and codeine while I put my hat back on

I love the subject matter Turbo. LOVE IT.

And I have every right to post what I like - if it's not within the rules then do what you have to do. If not then sod off.

I feel better for that too.

Car said 57 c today - dropped when on the move, I whole 6c!!

That said, I love the warm (hot) evenings, I find the noise of the fan quite soothing and I especially love the smell of summer blossoms when I walk the dog at 6pm or so. Jasmine is particularly wonderful. A glass of very cold white wine is also especially well deserved after said walk! Looking forward to some heavy rain this evening or tomorrow as the grass is quite quite brown.

I'm wondering why he called me Turbo, couldn't imagine anything less like a turbo right now. Two hours in the bath and I still feel like shite, but at least my ban expired while I was there

There is one good side to all of this....It's a good excuse to hit the booze.

I'm keeping my grass green... god knows how much water I'm using though..... Guess I'll find out at bill time.

Probably should read the damn thing... I'll do that when the next bill comes in.

One thing though... the Hot weather makes me itch rather than the cold... So thats odd how heat v cold affects different people in different ways.

Pissed off that I can't fire up the Rotassirie tomorrow... bloody fire ban for the 2nd Friday in a row. Took me bloody ages to find the damn thing.

There are a few days each year when its so hot I ask myself WTF?

But the trade off is 11 1/2 months when it's perthect...

Apart from when it's cold and wet and I just pray for summer to arrive...

In England this past summer, autumn and winter

I'm missing Adelaide, but not the summer heat of walking out the front door into what seemed to be a sky-sized fan-forced oven.

We certainly didnt have to carry an umbrella every day, not by any means.

I never carried an umbrella, ever. I just settled for either getting wet or staying in. Umbrellas are for wimps.
