seasia Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Great weather.....but what language is "Strueth" (know an area in Northern France called that....but ) It used to be used in England but seemed to mostly fade away, heard Aussies use it a fair bit. Maybe similar to "blimey", mostly used by Brits, have to admit to using that sometimes, not in an offensive way though, just as an expression of surprise.

chiang mai Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I always knew it as "strewth", "late 19th century: contraction of God's truth" Edited December 8, 2013 by chiang mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aveabeeror2 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Now the weather has changed, I do believe it would be as good as a time as any to update the topic on that temp to set your aircon to. For those of u who cannot think for ourselves that was a most worthwhile post. Possible the best of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The cold weather recently has been surprising - AWESOME !!! I wish it was always like this, cool and no rain. It seems colder than this same time last year. My parrot fell off his perch this time last year, frozen solid he was found the next morning.....stiffer than morning glory Norwegian Blue? Maybe he's just pining for the fjords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDrinker Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It'll soon be April/May/June gents......back to 3-4K a month electric bills..... I was told to relish the cool weather a week or so ago as it wouldn't last but last night when I took the dog out for his nightly crunch and a grab a nightcap for myself down the prossies I was chilly to say the least.

wym Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The heating oil truck came by today. Filling our (very chilly/drafty 100+ year old) house's fuel tank - USD $1,450 Apparently two or three fillups before it starts to get warm. Priceless. . .
