You should have nominated Sarge - it's winter there
Damn it! :gomez:
Yeah, but Australian winter is like 75 degrees and sunny.
which is freezing to them
You guys haven't been to Melbourne, have you?
Ok I just looked it up. Your average low temperature in the winter is 7 degrees Celsius, or 44 degrees Fahrenheit. Sure, I'd have to put on pants instead of shorts but not much else is needed.

i was freezing the first time i was in the melbourne area over winter. outside was no big deal, but inside was another story. i'm used to insulated houses with the furnace going when it gets down into the 40s.

We don't need that shit here. If it really gets cold enough, we just burn something on the back yard.

Wouldn't insulation make your air conditioning that much more efficient in the summer?

When it's 45C outside (113F?), nothing makes air conditioning more efficient. We just switch it off and drink alcohol.

Not really. When it's that hot, and it's a really dry heat, most standard home air conditioners just blow warm air.

Nah man. There's gonna be thousands of videos now of dudes in their "VEDDER 10" custom jerseys of whatever local team they support getting doused and then challenging some other bros of theirs now.
