THE WRONG DONUTS!!!eleventy!

Of course you can! The Ashkenazim have been doing it for generations. It's called chrain (for an approximate pronunciation, make a Scots ch and say the name of the River Rhine) -- and it's just the thing to go with gefilte fish.

Well, I know what *I'M* growing next season.

Hmmm - Darwin... wiki entry

I suggest looking at the bit on the right - where it lists ave. MIN temp (say, in mid winter, and the coldest it's ever going to get!) as being 23.2C / 70F... and ave MAX temps of 32C/90F... that's the average - doesn't indicate the high 30's+ that it will hit every so often.

Not to mention average humidity is pretty high.

Check out the bit on climate, and the graph there.

So - going from Nova Scotia.. yeah, I think you'll notice it... it doesn't get cold (or dry).*

Darwin gets a cyclone, oh, about a couple a season....

Oh, and yes, it is miles from anywhere, so don't expect to be seeing any of your favourite bands any time soon - Darwin always misses out (unless it's an Aussie band...)

But... you do have immediate access to Kakadu! And not that far from the Daintree... (bit of a flight, though.) Oh, and the Kimberley's. And Broome (for the dolphins)... and crocs. And lots of Barramundi!!

Now, if you came a bit further south (and, preferably, east) things would be great

Doesn't beetroot go with everything????


* I admit, I only just googled NS, and found how warm it can get... I am surprised!! The cold didn't, though

Cheese, Darwin sounds a lot like the west coast of Canada where I grew up. Except for being incredibly far from everything. I don't care if I can't see my favorite bands, I don't go to concerts anyway (because I can't stand being in a crowd of people, due to too much noise and too little bathing on the part of some).

Yeah, NS gets pretty warm in the summer, which I could tolerate if it weren't for the humidity. I don't know that Darwin is really an option anyway, but Perth or Melbourne have possibilities.

Like I said, I've wanted to move to Australia since I was a kid. I'm even willing to get used to beets on burgers if I must, so long as I can live somewhere warm and interesting and beer-loving.

Yes theres some games clubs that I'm aware of, one being the UniSAGA (thats my group) and there was a hobby/gaming convention, not sure if that will be on this year. Hasnt Edible Hat been informing you? so slack of him.....

And several card games- we boast a variety of card games such as the card version of cluedo, blank while cards, Fluxx (and its spin off, Monty Phyton Fluxx- not a fan of both fluxx games to be honsent -_-), and plenty more! we also have video games, DnD, board games.... etc!

[Nyoibo]

Wait, there's local games clubs?

What card games?

[IceLee]

Hmm it's a toss up, either EB or games quest or infinity games or..... heck, ANY games shop! (I'm the card games co-ordinator for the local games club this year actually - was video games co-ordinator last year)

[Nyoibo]

Now when you say game shops, are we talking EB, Berlin wall, or are we talking game wizards, games workshop?

[IceLee]

aha! but there are shops that id love to work in, i.e game shops, bodyshops etc, would be more than worth it if I could work in a game shop but I do see its hard to work in retail and not always enjoy it- afterall, I get stories from edible hat firsthand whenever a SC crosses his path...

[Nyoibo]

I dont work in retail, would love to

You poor deluded woman.

[IceLee]

Yep, well there could be more than just us four- edible said in a mobile text- (hes working the night shift tonight the poor guy) when I told him he had forgotten to mention me, that he only mentioned of those that have replied to this thread- so theres a possiblity itd be more than us four

Though I do agree with you! Speaking of bakery products at work- Edible had also been tormenting me tonight via texts once again with descriptions of the yummy pies that theyre selling at his work hes certainly a lucky guy to work there where those yummy pies are hehe! I dont work in retail, would love to, but can see my deafness as an deterrant for any customers/employers but have sighted a few SC's over the years or seen the damage SC's have done to retail workers hence I rarely post if at all Edible will be making a post later, possibly tomorrow about his shift tonight- so far theres lots of SC's out at the moment.

[Nyoibo]

Well hell, four's just down right incredible.

[IceLee]

All three of us, apparently.

....... Four, Edible I believe, unless youve really forgotten your fiancee (aka me)!!!!!

hiya guys

[fireheart]

haha and I'm working on recruiting more and tagging them when I find them

*has ear tracking device gun ready*

[Nyoibo]

Still impressive given the size of membership here to find 3 of us.

[edible_hat]

How many people from Adelaide are there here?

All three of us, apparently.

[Nyoibo]

How many people from Adelaide are there here?

[fireheart]

So does that mean that you and I have met edible_hat?
