    And windows that were so frosted on the inside that you couldn't see
    out!

    Kevin Seal says...
    When we first moved back to England my bedroom window had a rotten
    frame. I used to plug the gaps with socks and hope they'd ice over and
    stop the wind coming in. It took 3 years for my old man to get a new
    double glazed window fitted.

    I'd spent 4 years living in Singapore and we came back right in the
    middle of an evil snowy winter.

    I haven't lost my mind, it's
    backed up to a floppy disc
    that's around here somewhere.

    Thanks, but I think they'd charge a bit more for delivery to France.

  8. When I returned from Sydney the pilot took great delight in announcing
    as we taxied at Sydney airport in saying "it's 28 degrees here and sunny
    and in London the forecast is for very dull weather and temperatures
    around zero." I think most people wanted to get off the plane at that
    point.
    It was a tad, yes.

  9. Yes, yes, yes. Great place - the Harbour may be a bit of cliched view
    but you just simply have to experience it. I'd love to go back - one of
    the girls at work flies to Perth tomorrow for a 3 week break in Aus. I
    wish I was going.

    And you can meet Porl too - an added bonus!

  10. T'other way around -- docking at Melbourne at >30 C when the
    morning before we'd been below both Tasmania and zero (after a year of
    temps down to -34 C), then flying into Adelaide where the temperature
    on the tarmac at 9 pm was still 37 C. It was 42 C the next day and I
    spent it all under the only air-conditioner in the college, in the
    library-cum-piano room.

    Seeing green plants for the first time in 11 months was a bit
    of a novelty, too.

    Yep, that's nailed it for the oddest imagery of the week award.
