Haha. Well at least the cold is somewhat brief. Also we have to admit the days are usually quite blissful. At least your energy isn't zapped by the excessive heat like the middle of summer.
Having said all that, the current 26 degrees at 11 am is rather decent, so I'm off to dig out my sweet potatoes while it's not too ugly.

The sad thing for myself, a Brit that enjoyed the British version ( the original ) and can't watch more than a minute of that other load of crap, is that this saying is attributed to that shit show when it's been around for so much longer. It used to carry some weight when used sparingly and in the right context. Now it is so much more cheapened.
Well anyway OP, I hope you've learned a thing.

Edit. Gee I have only just joined this place and I had hoped it wasn't going to be like Reddit where silly fucks downvote simply because you state an opinion. Hmmmmm, should I have known better ? To the downvoters, get a life.

Earlier in the week the temp was reported as about 34/35/36 degrees. A workmate said that when he got in his car at 2 pm to leave work it was registering as 41 degrees. This is next to the Logan motorway very close to the Logan Hospital. Meadowbrook. Now THAT is bloody hot. I've lived in Australia for thirty years and I swear this is the hottest spell I have ever encountered. I've even lived in Cairns for 13 months and I'm sure it was never this hot. I mean I'm sure I'll be complaining of the cold mornings in a few months but right now one or two of those would be welcome.
Well, I hope you all have a great Friday and a lovely long weekend. Cheers.

I haven't watched any of it yet. Would you say that it's worth just watching the first series and forgetting the second, or does the second series wrap up some story lines ?

It is now tomorrow, here's hoping for some snow. We only do six hours on Fridays so at least I have that as one pleasant thing. Stay safe.

Appreciated.

Would you mind telling me what "Fediverse" is please. I had a bit of a read about this new place/thing/situation/blogsite or whatever it's called. I'm an old Troglodyte and lucky that I even discovered Reddit 12 years ago. It was great for many years but I've grown tired of the same old comments and the insecure mods. Well anyway, happy newish year.

Well I just got here and I don't know what the title was referencing in regard to an earlier thread. I'm learning how to navigate this thing currently. I understand where you're coming from though. Maybe that earlier post explains it ?

Nothing new in particular. People are sick of power tripping mods. Also people that joined Reddit many years ago are sad to see it's turned into something else in many ways. I'm brand new here, I am over Reddit as I just got banned for "threatening violence". I appealed to no avail. I got angry regarding a post about an adult purposely running down a 12 year old. I expressed what I "would feel like doing" to that driver if he knocked one of my sons over on purpose. I didn't actually threaten a real person, it was based on a hypothetical scenario. But no apparently that's threatening violence. So yeah, I'm here.

Thankfully it doesn't seem to be quite as hot today. Mind you it's only early I suppose. Here's hoping that it's a lot more pleasant over the long weekend.
