NSW Weather advice and information

Was 5 degrees here this morning, doesn't usually get that cold here. I remember about 5 years ago we actually had a -2 morning, only frost I've ever seen here, even the hose was frozen solid and split from the ice forming inside it. Was -6 that same morning at Richmond.

I hate winter.....

We, re even getting the cool weather up here! Overnight low of 19.5, 1st one under 20 for the dry season and its currently 29, beautiful.....might crack out the ugg boots!

Ramjet,

Due to the apparent scarcity of mankinis, you should consider crocheting a nice woolen one for your impending 10000 post winter hunt.

Brass monkey :lol: I get it
Now thats an old saying ( old sailing boats )

Majestic "Man of War" ships dam it - not just old sailing boats!

This is 2016 Dude ( old sailing boats ) :lol: :lol:

Speaking of brass monkeys and old sailor talk, does anyone know the meaning of "tow rag"?
Its a doosie!

Did it measure distance travelled, though I thought they used a sea anchor for that?

Nup, a tow rag was a rag tied to a rope, and towed behind the ship.
When a crew member needed to do a number 2, he wiped his bottom with the tow rag!
So if anyone ever calls you a tow rag, its actually a pretty good insult!

Most likely a couple of them in the city. Stolen by the best in our society, the righteous wanna be savours animal rights vegan pieces of my night soil. Then again they probably dont need to heed the warnings as the stolen animals are most likely tucked up nice and warm in there nappy in front of the heater that doesnt really burn gas or coal but uses the sun at night time.
