Classics Reborn

[Slammed]

Hmmm, that wasn't on my FB feed. Although I did have a story about a new reality show in the UK where 5 mums have decided to make their own porn movies to show their kids what is good porn and what is bad porn. I really hope they are only planning to produce and direct not star in.

Bahahahahaha are you Fucking kidding me,a mad gone world for sure!

 

[Slammed]

Yeah the funniest bit was that they went to some porn studio to see how it gets made and one of the mothers run out after 20 mins throwing her lunch up. God knows how she's going to make a whole film if she can't last 20 mins.

Imagine having that conversation with your kids though. "There is good porn and there is bad porn. The porn I want you to watch is the stuff Mummy made, it's high class, we treat women right and it's full of all good things. If you have any questions please ask."

Worst 16th birthday present ever!!

These type of people shouldn’t breed in the first place man.Has the weather calmed down for you Slammed?

 

[Slammed]

Our weather is just strange, summer was brutal and they are now predicting a warm and dry winter. They keep predicting high winds and thunderstorms and we get nothing, or we just get high winds. A couple of hours north of here and a couple of hours east of here they are nearly flooding in the main streets of town because of all the rain they've had. In the last three months we've been lucky to get a glass of water in rain.

 

[Neptune]

I’ll do a Rain/Wardance for ya!

 

[Slammed]

Haha thanks, we need something. The worst part about the rain people are getting is that it's flooding rain and not soaking rain. It just flows away because it's too much too quickly and the ground is too dry. Not sure what is best, flooding rain that does little or no rain

Soon you'll be complaining about the heat and I'll be complaining about the cold

 

[Neptune]

Yeah a saturating rain is exactly what you need.Heat I can take,but when the Dew point rises into the 60-70 percent range I get a little irritable lol!

Anyway you can throw some mulch or something down to kind of trap the rain? Or is that not feasible?

It does work if we have rain, but I was watering the vegies every day over summer, even with some mulch it was still going to need water. I would usually use bark or straw but this year I couldn't be bothered.

Talk about localised rain. I just ducked out to get some diesel and do some other jobs. I came out of the service station and didn't get wet walking to the car. By the time I pulled out on the road there was drops on the window. Less than 10 secs up the road I had to wait for a very slow moving extremely long train. While I was waiting the rain got heavy. A minute later the wipers on high speed were not enough, another minute later the roads were bone friggen dry. All that happened within 10 mins of home and home got no rain at all.

Cool, South East QLD has been odd this year too. Probably not quite as hot as the last few years, but until basically the last week or two we have been 30C+ on almost a daily basis since Christmas. No cool nights either, basically 22-25C and humid overnight. But we just haven't had the usual thunderstorms to go with it. I think until the start of March we'd only had 30mms of rain all year, which is bugger all for the sub-tropical "Wet" season. Here is hoping summer ends soon!

 

[Slammed]

Our temps have been higher on average than usual but we've had wild swings. According to my gauge we've had only 17mm of rain since the start of the year, usually we are closer to 50 by now. The temps are cooling as they should be this time of year but we've still got fires burning and there was a new one start about an hour away last night, although I don't think that will become dangerous even with the west/south west wind change today.

Ah, I grew up in Ballarat, and my parents still live there, I know there were fires just outside of there yesterday. Certainly one thing I don't miss about regional Vic.

 

[Slammed]

I'm east of Melbourne, the fires this year in Bunyip, Yinnar, Rosedale, Erica and the high country are all still burning (although contained). Rosedale has been burning since the first week of January, Erica a week or so later and the others more recent but this side of Victoria hasn't burnt like this since Black Saturday 10 years ago. Even if it does rain the small amounts have just made the fire grounds soggy, very little else, but with every storm is the threat of lighting which I think they have confirmed started every major fire in this area since the new year.

My Dad actually does a lot of fire training and also fire fighting stuff for the State Government, he is based in Western Victoria, but he did get sent to one of those fires when they were out of control in early Feb. Have a feeling it was the one out near Bindi, Nunniong, Butchers Ridge. Gippsland fires are tough to control obviously because a lot of the forest etc. is so inaccessible, which also makes it so hard to do preventive fuel reduction burns and those sorts of things. Such a beautiful area of the world, but I guess a lot of natural danger to go with it.

Hopefully you guys get the kind of rain that'll put those fires out soon. They've been particularly nasty from what I have read and unfortunately properties (and small townships?) were lost.

Anything east and north of Sale (sort of) has gotten heaps of rain. Down in the far east Mallacoota has had something like 120mm of rain in the last two weeks, Beechworth area got 38 yesterday morning, but south of the ranges has been woefully low.
