At least the Victorians can have showers and baths now! (If we're really lucky, Sikrav will drown getting his head caught in a drain trying to pick up 5c or something)
Actually Australian weather sucks over the last few weeks, I blame T-bills for it.

Alright, I am sick of meteorologists coming under fire because their forecasts are wrong, the earth has been around for 4.5 Billion years; the human species for roughtly 40 thousand years; and the written meteorlogical record has been around for 300 years at most.
A meteorlogist looks for patterns and tries to guess on what will happen based on records and trends documented for the last 300 years. If you ask me the 300 years PALES in comparison to the age of the earth and its cycles of climactic change that it goes through. So if you non-scientific or non-meteorology buffs out there want to make it better, make a time machine go into the future about 1Billion years, and bring back all the records up to that point and THEN complain when they dont get it right.
Thats just my 2Cents on this issue.

No! We need rain dammit! Rain!!! We always get sunny and warm, but now we're running out of bloody water!
Haha, the Brisbane city council is now hassling everyone to only have 4 minute showers. They sent out little hourglass things with a suction cap, to time our bathing. Lol. In winter. "Mmmm, warm shower...oh wait, my 4 mins are up."
Fail.
