what temperature is "cold"?
( Kroney, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 10:41, 1 reply, 15 years ago)

It can get down to 3 or 4 degrees centigrade.

Where Poppet is, or in general?
I imagine it'd get colder the further south you'd go, but isn't Australia bigger than Europe?

My geography gets a little hazy as you head towards the Orient and by the time you get to New Holland and Van Diemen's Land, I'm not much better than a 16th Century map.

wrinkly and smelling of mould
and with important bits missing?

yeah.... I live about as far south as you can go on mainland australia.
Tomorrow's supposed to be 11 degrees. If it wasn't windy, I wouldn't mind, but the wind comes straight up from the antarctic and it's fucking ICY.

Put a jumper on.
JEFF QUICK, I'm sure there's something you want to say about Australia and jumpers?

Sounds rather pleasant to me, I'll be honest.
As a depths-of-winter temperature, that's rather nice. Chilly, but not freezing.

It's a shame your country is such a cunt to try and move to.
( Kroney, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 10:54, Reply)

You're telling me.
it's hard to move from too.
I like the winter when it's not windy, but when it is, it's really cold enough to make boobs ache. Not joking.

Can I request you keep your Masterchef Australia facebook things to a minimum
I'm a little behind in watching it and I've just glimpsed something you commented on that may have spoilt it for me a little ;-)

Oh golly sorry!
I rarely post stuff about it there. I hardly watch it and then my friend put that up and I was just as surprised as you!

Masterchef Australia?
Surely there's only so many ways you can barbecue a snag?

yeah, that's all it is about

Masterchef Britain?

All the rock'n'roll cheating love rat celebrity chefs are British these days.

( Kroney, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:38, Reply)

from watching Masterchef Australia
I have learned that there are loads of much better chefs all over the rest of the world.

And they aren't all tossers like the good ones here. Except Heston. He seems alright for a ginger.

they practically beg you to move there if you are an engineer.

Hi Vips, how's the lodger?
i guess he hasn't murdered you yet.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:14, Reply)

barely seem him
he's only been in 3 nights.

I was listening to him having difficulty locking the front door last night. He's not the first person to have trouble. They are all retards.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:16, Reply)

Does he share your kitchen and living room?
I'd hate that
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:18, Reply)

he doesn't cook. eats microwave stuff, or things that don't need cooking
he's not been in the living room though.

He arrived at about quarter to midnight last night, left for work before me or the mrs were up this morning. He'll be back at about half 6, eat some food, then he'll sit in his room for the rest of the evening.

be weird if it turned out he was one

I think I'd find sharing a bathroom more challenging

(Zoz prayed for twink on, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:25, Reply)

why? it's not like we are in there at the same time.
the bottom line is, I'd rather not share my house with anyone, but I'm fucking skint because of the shitbag economy and I have no real choice in the matter. The guy isn't there at the weekend, he leaves before I'm awake and doesn't get in my way in the evening.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:27, Reply)

it's only a matter of time before this happens

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:36, Reply)

Hm, now be honest here,
would I have to do work in order to become one and then, once I had qualified, would I be expected to work afterwards?
( Kroney, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:26, Reply)

yes, and yes.

(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:27, Reply)

Doesn't really sound like my cup of tea.

( Kroney, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:29, Reply)

I didn't do a lot of work to become an engineer
and I haven't done much since either.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:30, Reply)

Interesting, I'm coming around to it.
What's the potential for making an ass-load of money by basically sitting around on my arse drawing pretty pictures and applying a few GCSE level principles?
( Kroney, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:31, Reply)

you'd be hard-pressed to find an occupation that has such a poor "importance to salary" ratio

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:34, Reply)

You're not really selling this to me, Vippers.

( Kroney, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:35, Reply)

I just suggested it as a way to be accepted into Australia
if I had my way I'd stop working in this field today and would never look back.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 11:37, Reply)

But the skills you would get as an engineer could be really useful.
Imagine if you sent to prison by a military court for a crime you didn't commit. You then promptly escape from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Maybe you could use these mad skills to help you earn a living as a soldier of fortune.

MacGyver's more my scene, really.
the lone operative, getting into scrapes, eating ice-cream and making rocket launchers out of racing bikes.

Then I'd spend a few years in celebrity wilderness before making a comeback by visiting other planets.
