Due to the heat no one was outside, even local sport competitions were cancelled today on Saturday in Sydney, as the heatwave continued into a second day. If the heat wasn't stifling, the kids would be normally running around and I would not have taken a photo. Hence, my original photo was meant to show how hot it was yesterday, on Friday.

John, I don't know you, but what a gentleman you must be. That is about the most polite and unconfrontational way you could of told @Warren you did not appreciate the implications of his joke whatsoever!

Ha Warren is much admired on our forum and I took his observation in good jest. Australian humour can be very much 'to the point' but it is rarely confrontational. Witness Ken's jibes at Rob in their videos for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you took it that way Mate, sometimes I may forget that people from other countries may not understand a bit of good natured ribbing between a couple of Aussies. Sorry to our Canadian friend if offence was taken for it was not meant to be delivered. Ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I believe it's called sarcasm... not humor isolated to only certain countries. I'm sure the kids were hiding since it's usually taught to avoid guys in vans handing out candy. 50F-60F here in Atlanta. Still not missing Chicago... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John doesn't lure kids with candy, but instead Partagas Shorts. So far, he has been unsuccessful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePolskiOgorki Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 @Warren @JohnS A Canadian without a sense of humour is not a Canadian. So I got the humour just fine guys. I probably would of asked the same thing had you not beat me to it. So I am not offended in the least. I just thought it was also funny how John responded to the joke. I think we all got the point of his photo and he chose to explain it instead of saying something snide back, which to me was a comeback in and of itself. And don't apologize. Someone might mistake you for a Canadian. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been a huge fan of the Canadian protest movement by the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Nice and warm here today. It hit 41C or in the old money 105F. Been inside all day in the air con and itching for a cigar. Just stepped outside and it's still 35 C at 6 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiegoldsmith Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Just got back from Brisbane to Bedford, Indiana to find 62 degrees F. Nice change from the heat. Sitting on my front porch smoking a Juan Lopez #2. Not bitching now.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWBen Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Another 14-20 inches for us tonight into tomorrow. My company already closed the office for tomorrow, I guess this is only the second time in the past 25 years they've shut down for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
