Only mine said this: In Victoria the temperature has been above 4 4 degrees all week and they are forecasting another week of 40+ temperatures. Power is failing, trains have stopped running because tracks are buckling under the heat . It’s just scorchingand it seems that the people are not the only ones suffering. Check out these photos of a little Koala which just walked onto a back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. The woman filled up a bucket for it and this is what happened! I wonder how many other states this little fella visited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to some cartoons on my own (Chicken Run and Toy Story 1 & 2) but the parents in the queues look at you like you're some sort of pervert if you haven't got kids with you.

Tanya K Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) I've been to some cartoons on my own (Chicken Run and Toy Story 1 & 2) but the parents in the queues look at you like you're some sort of pervert if you haven't got kids with you. I figured out a way around that ages ago Everytime I build up enough time off at work, I take the time and go during the week and during the day and there's next to no one there ....sometimes we even get the whole cinema to ourself ...that's the only time my friends will come with me because there isn't anyone there to see them Also, if you take your mum, you can go anytime and they just look at you like your sweet because you're taking you mum to the movies! For everyone's information, I am now enjoying an alcoholic slushy :lick_lips: ....well, it's actually my 6th but I'm not counting Edited February 11, 2009 by Tanya K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to feel guilty when I had time off but I don't anymore It wouldn't be quite so bad if I wasn't due to go into hospital for a minor op next week - I will be off for a least a week after that. I will have an absolute mountain of work to go back to.
