Bi-weekly Australia is hell thread

Oh god.

It's going to be 46`c here in Melbourne today again after a week of 40+ weather. All the trees are dying and the roads are clogged with tinder-dry flammable material. Meanwhile fires are threatening to burn down Sydney and I think Queensland has sunk under the waves or something.

At least the sharks have stopped their daily attacks.

Save us.

    We got a cat to catch the toad, but now the country is overrun with cats.

    Someone call in the dogs.

    46c? It is barely 46f in some places.

    Too hot to even go to the gay sauna.

    Surprisingly enough, it isn't too bad inside the house today. Unlike last week's terrible, horrible, awful, terrible, terrible days.

    it wasn't founded by criminals it was founded by governor arthur philip in 1788. along with shiploads of sailors, officers and transportees was at least one free settler. many more followed in the several fleets sent from england in the decades that followed, but the operations were fraught with so much danger in those days that a great many never arrived

    edit: did you also know that a large portion of the initial (and indeed continued) population was made up of marines sent to assist with the development of the colony? eventually known as the new south wales corps, they stayed on in the country as important members of the community, until disaster struck during the rum rebellion of 1808 - a coup which was destined to change the history of australia forever

    The question that's always been on my mind is whether all the dangerous shit in Australia is to keep people out or to keep people in...
    I just stole this question from a 1986 Doctor Who episode I watched last week.

    Also in regards to all your wussy.

    It's 46 degrees! It's too hot.

    No it's not.

    I've done 8 hour manual labour shifts in that. It's not, that bad.

    The last time it was 46 degrees here in the UK was in that part of the earth formation in the Civ 4 intro.

    speaking of kangaroos, it's an odd bit of trivia that australia is the only country to eat the animals on its coat of arms - specifically, the emu and the kangaroo. i've had both, and while kangaroo is passable for gamey, tough red meat, emu is quite delicious, and probably a resource not tapped enough in this time of vast, unethical chicken barns

    Also, bsjezz is right about emu. Emu meat is awesome. We used to do a kind of carpooling thing with this kid I went to school with. His family had emus. They gave us emu sandwiches as a kind of compensation for taking his kid to school.

    Ten years later, and I still have the occasional dream about those sandwiches.

    *sigh*

    Warm nights are uncomfortable. I personally like to wrap myself up in a layer of heavy blankets, and on nights where it is too hot for this I'm just sitting there naked and wide awake

    i dont have a thermometer in my room because i think it would just make me mad
    4 storey townhouse, my room is the top floor
    rest of the house is cool as hell and i just roast here but my computers here so i dont leave
    also maybe my room acts like a sauna perhaps with the sweating

    for sleep i just stay up til 5am and by then the sun hasnt been up for a long ime so its begun to cool down and its easier to sleep
    but if you dont sleep quick it comes back up and you are screwed
