2014 new boys thread!

[Poupou Escobar]

well you've clearly got the memory of a fish, merkin

i would say a difference of about 7 degrees is the norm in summer between the coast and the west and 10 would be common - only the ridiculously hot days where the wind is from the west/north-west is it the same on the coast ..... i grew up in the west, now live closer to the coast - there is a noticable difference .... peats is a smart fella, he knows his shit - unlike other merkins

It has been a while since I lived in Sydney and worked outdoors, but the BoM says a difference of 10 degrees is certainly not common. Even a difference of 7 degrees is more than three times the difference between the mean maximum temperatures in January (the hottest month):

Parramatta

Sydney

The difference between the mean maximum temperatures in the hottest month (January) is only 2.2 degrees.

The difference in the annual mean maximum temperatures is only 1.4 degrees.

The difference in the mean minimums in the coldest month (July) is actually greater, with Parramatta being 3.5 degrees colder in July. And 2.9 degrees colder (mean minimum) annually.

As you'd expect.

Also, Lee Mossop missed out on England's 17 for the game against Fiji.

Mean maximum temperatures don't tell us anything. You are confused.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They certainly do. They tell us what is and isn't unusual.

 

[strider]

you're unusual

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No I'm not.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I would say that Tom Jones is unusual in that he is Welsh and he has a full set of teeth.

How do you know that they're all real?

My mum said they felt real

 

[Gary Gutful]

If they aren't real that would make him even less Welsh.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If you can touch them they're real.

Jones looks like he is laying a cable in that photo.
