Gidday Mr T & NL
Great to hear that your arm and shoulder are feeling better :ebiggrin:
Thanks mate. I hate taking Panadol during the day. It makes me feel even worse than usual! Panadeine/Panadeine Forte + Valium at night really makes me feel like I have a hangover the next day; so a trade-off between feeling RS from not sleeping; or feeling RS from the medications ...
BTW, when I was a drinking man, I almost never got hangovers. Could never understand why people who did drank alcohol!
It's a strange, yet very different climate we live in down under isn't it
It's boiling over in the west & you're starting to fry where you are RB. Yet it's coolish here in Sydney & a little wet.
Then, if you venture a bit further north, theres floods..... again
Regards
Mr Turbo
It is a big country with a basin in the middle. These are identical weather patterns to those of my youth, which was just a bit after the huge Solar Maximum of the 1950s. It caused widespread flooding and drought, same as the huge one in the 1880~90s did.
The massive Solar Maximum of late 1990~2002-ish that has apparently now ended is the biggest ever known, AFAIK. That's for the last 2.4 Bn years or so, anyway ... :lol:. What made it even more spectacular was that it followed hot on the heels (pun intended ... ) of the very large Solar Max of the late 1970s/early 1980s. Seems to be rare to have two large ones so close together. BUT, what would we know? Upstart Chimps ...
RB glad to hear your shoulder is on the mend.
Thanks mate. If I just keep on typing, I'm sure to screw it up again ... :iconwink:.
Mr.T do I dare mention climate change? (no, no, hushshshsh)
Of course there is climate change. No one I know, or know of, disputes that. What is very debatable is whether humans have anything whatsoever to do with it.
Of course, we are buggering up this beautiful planet by polluting it with both toxins and humans; BUT that's quite another issue.
The hottest period in recent history was from 1100-1400 AD, when the CO2 levels were at the same levels as now (approx. 350~400 ppm), and average temperatures were 3~4°C hotter than they are today.
From about 1400-1810 was the "mini-ice age", but CO2 levels were about 10x higher than what they are today ...
That's about right!
I have had a parking inspector give me a ticket because I was parked in a disabled spot (while displaying my disabled permit ... ).
I assume that the parking officer was relying on his advanced medical training, and eye-balling me from however far away he was, to adjudge that I must have been fraudulently using someone else's disabled sticker ... Apparently he reckoned that my doctors must have been wrong to sign off on the disabled permit application form. Funny how the Docs also reckon I need a class 1 permit, rather than "just" a class 2 permit.
Did I get a letter of apology from the Council? No.
But they did withdraw the ticket "
... in these circumstances ... " with a dire warning that I should watch myself in future ...
Bunch of mongrels.
