For Auckland anyway, An American at this NZ comedy festival on TV the other night said it very well.....

Aucklands clouds gather for a team meeting every morning, then bugger off for 10minutes, then they have a sun shower, then a heavy breeze blows in, then they bugger off down to Hamilton for a bit, come back as fog,let a bit of sun in,threaten to rain for 3hours,clear up,hail,then they finish off the day with a nice warm breeze to pelase the people stupid enough to go to the beach.

Thtas Aucllands weather every day lol its frantic. We don't get snow here in Auckland, we're too far north, coldest it gets is about 6-8*C so our winter clothes are light.

6-8*C; is that at night, or during the day?
Yeah I don't think we get below about 12 degrees here in S. Aus during the day in Winter, but at night, we often make it below 0!

Well, we use Farenheit up here in America so let me do a quick conversion... OK about the coldest is about -15* C during the day. And of course a bit colder at night. Doesn't get that cold too often. Winter it usually hovers around 4 or 5 I guess.

i hate it when you have been planning to get together with your friend dor 2 weeks, and it falls thru one week becuase hes out of town, and then this weekend (3 days for us, friday off) you call, find he has a lacrosse practice untill 5:00, and then you call at 5:30 and discover you cant spend the night becuase he has a lacrosse game tomorrow.

god damnit, i really am pissed, a bit at him cause this is the second week, but because of sports. sports always are at the worst times possible

well, yes. i hate team sports, or sports were you are required to go to games/practices

your games are not in that criteria....so i think they are called hobbies....cause sports cannot be voluntary
