St Mary’s Butts, Reading, England Superthread

another cold night in Toowoomba, although I'm sure Dave C or someone will be along to tell me how I actually feel...

I'm just kidding. Tonight's not so bad actually. I can feel my hands and feet.

 

[Axver]

Right now I'm packing for three conferences in as many weeks: two in summer and one in winter.

So I bought a larger suitcase.

This trip has not been one of my most sensible ideas.

Toowoomba looks like a pretty nice place (just looked it up on Wikipedia).

And how about this fact, if you take a piss on the east side of town it flows just 170 km to Moreton Bay, but if you piss on the west side of town it travels 3000 km all the way to the Murray River near Adelaide

 

[Axver]

Oh man, hard to choose. Brisbane sucks so I'd happily send my piss off to them, but on the other hand you can piss in Vlad's general direction...

we actually live in a sort of crater, in this city. I think a spaceship might have crashed here once, like in IT.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

it's already gotten above 38c here. it's not even officially summer.

if this place were on the east coast and had mild summers and cold winters, it'd be perfect.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Maximum of 14 here today, and considerably less than that yesterday. I literally couldn't feel my feet in bed last night.

 

[U2inUtah]

Beautiful here today in Utah 77F/25C. The heat is quickly approaching though. I imagine Austin is pretty miserable in the summer. I've experienced St. Louis summers and yeah Utah's dry heat is wayyyyy better.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I'd happily live in a place where it was exactly 25 degrees centigrade every day of the year. Exactly 25.

Dry heat is the best heat and humid cold is the best cold.

Santa Barbara would be nice, no doubt. Of course the downside is living somewhere that instantly and constantly reminds you of one of U2's most treacly songs.

ugh, yes. it's so incredibly humid here (my glasses often fog up when exiting a car or building with a/c on, not just on days where it's going to/already did rain). st. louis is awful too, i was there around this time a couple years ago and it was so hot. pretty similar to memphis, which is awful. austin's also hell on allergies. parking lots (the ones with the really black surfaces as it's easier to see) will get a slight shade of yellow in springtime.

i really wanna move to colorado for that same reason that utah's weather is preferable. it sounds so much better. i don't want to live in satan's butthole.

the usa's withdrawn from the un human rights council. wtf the fuck.

Safe to say the US is cooked. Kinda worried where it's headed from here, despite my urge to avoid alarmism.

Every attempt to describe my perfect weather ends up being Melbourne in winter and Wellington in spring and autumn. Just need to find somewhere tolerable in summer where the weather will rarely trouble the high teens, nor get much into single digits, have a decent breeze, and not be in the middle of absolute nowhere.

 

[U2inUtah]

Wait, 20 C is too hot for you in summer?? Yeah good luck finding a cooler climate than that, maybe Glasgow or Oslo, somewhere in far N Europe.

Maybe Mount Kosciuszko. But only in the daytime.

Colder than Kosciusko
Warmer than Wellington in Spring
Ax must find the perfect climate
Or he will explode

 

[Kieran McConville]

Endless storm and struggle
Marks the spirit of the age!

 

[Mack_Again]

its freaking 29-30 degrees in here already what the fuck is this

 

[Kieran McConville]

In here? In the forum, you mean?

 

[Mack_Again]

in Japan, I mean

 

[Kieran McConville]

yeah I figured, I was just bullshitting.

You see that Australia is not the country for me.

Norway definitely is, especially as some of their locals are paler than my albino self. But I just got rejected for a job there, so.

Sorry I haven't been here in a month, I was busy mourning iron horse, with candles and everything. Just kidding! He was a prick.

Finally. A weather thread!

Ax sounds like he'd thrive in Greymouth. Massive shoegaze scene there.

 

[Axver]

Greymouth, a town named very appropriately.

 

[Kieran McConville]

i knew you know you
I think I think I think I forgot this line

[Kieran McConville]
