The totally off-topic thread

If you want to get a variety of answers about an acronym stands for, ask a room full of train drivers in Sydney what WOLO stands for.

They know the intent but not the historics behind it.

Lucky for me that I'm in a somewhat AC room, standing by.

So, it's been over 40 for the last three days in Adelaide but the news is only about Sydney's heat today.

If it doesn't happen in Sydney, it doesn't happen!

Now where have I heard that before

 

[erkpod]

It is 40°C but I've just spotted a fellow crew member wearing a jumper!!!!!

But it's a short sleeved jumper that's ok, I guess!

Yep. I'm just worried about our neighbours gum tree which is currently dropping bark and small branches across our backyard. The wind is a high easterly. The noise of stuff crashing into our pergola is freaking out our cat.

Do they do that here in Vic as well?

AFAIK while it has been spoken about, they do not...and rightly so, silly concept.

 

[Pushka]

Power out now. Sigh.

Its still a very pleasant 24 degrees in Brisbane

 

[JohnK]

People are getting heavier too ....

Fact of life. Probably too much of the good life....

And 26 in Kirra, lovely!

I'm just hoping all the Christmas turkey, hams and foodstuff purchased this morning won't be spoiled. . Anyone know a safe time limit for no refrigeration? House is hot after three days of 40+.

Pleasant and Brisbane in the same sentence. Now there is something you rarely see.

All I can suggest is avoid opening the refridgerator if at all possible.

I agree.

If your fridge has good seals it will remain quite cool for several hours without power...

While many of you are now on vacation, I am still at work, and will be for several hours yet

But its always pleasant here - constant 24 degrees maximum . Very pleasant unless I have to step outside into the heat and humidity :shock:

Ill be working Monday and Tuesday...

 

[Pushka]

We're back again. The wind is crazy though. 90 kms/hour at times. Is that the measure for wind?

Some of us don't get vacations. Apparently you have to have a job before you get them. :mrgreen: Something I'll do in 2014.

Do you have a chest freezer you could pop the items into?
