Meanwhile, if America's streets are paved with gold, Australia's are paved with dollars that go at least a third further than they would in the UK.
What the hell, when did they write this report?

The weather is warm all year round, the city is easy to get round and a generally beautiful place
I do like the place but the weather is actually one of the worst aspects for me, if only the mild pleasant weather we are having today would last forever then it would be great.

I'd up it by about 6 degrees on today's temps but yeh, generally I agree.

I was scraping ice off the car this morning ...

The lowest we got overnight was 7.9 at 6:30am, but back up to 13.2 by 9am.

Where were you, to be getting ice ?

I wonder if I'm 'Riff' or 'Raff'... and what's the difference.

The term “riff-raff” means “common” and is from the Anglo-Saxon words for rags (rief) and sweepings (raft).

So you are a bag of rags then.

Must admit that I've been called worse than 'sweepings' as well.
