Care to join me in having a whinge about the ridiculously hot weather we're having? I spent yesterday sitting in the computer lab at Uni in an effort to escape the heat. And it's not even term-time.

Wah!

You`re lucky i want to escape the cold

Could be worse. I'm trapped in the house with the rest of my family because of the fucking snow and icestorm. I was just lucky that I flew in on Monday before the airport was closed.

Want to swap? I'll take the cold any day.

Australian summer heat is not the fun warmth you'd think it is.

I love the cold.

You should all pop down to Adelaide. Our summer has been relatively mild so far.

I'm always up for a good whinge.

We Brisbane dwellers expect it to get hot during summer. It's the way things are. But the last few days have bordered on the ridiculous. My house was a toasty 32C - at 2AM. That's just wrong.

Gah! I looked at the weather report yesterday & thought 'Oh Hell, it's not going to be that hot is it?', then realised that I was looking at the minimum temp.

You poor bastard.

I was caught in a shopping center a couple of years ago (think it was the Hyperdome, or possibly Garden City) when the aircon shit itself. That was fun.

Can you handle a minus 32 degrees.

Do I get central heating & a warm coat?

Just for you americans... sometimes I'v seen weather reports for brisbane... heck, even MELBOURNE darnit... which are up to 105 fareinheight degrees hot. Darwin sometimes gets as high as 120 farenheight. believe me, this is NOT fun

Dont you have airconditioners ?

Few of us have them in our homes, and even then they cost a bundle to run.

when I hear people die in England during a heat wave that hits 40 (a normal summer temperature in Brisbane and Melbourne) I think theyre stupid and probably don't know HOW TO DRINK WATER

Why is it that half the goddamn Australians here appear to be from that hell hole known as Queensland?

Oi! Brisbane may have all the characteristics of hell, but its got all the good parts of heaven too... you just need a pool and a martini

*waves fist at American culture of aircon* forbidden pleasure... *droolz*

Or an icy-cold glass of Bundy rum & coke, as the case may be.
