Aah, the Perth Scorchers name has mislead me. It gets up to 48 here.
One day in 2002 it was so hot that the Pakistan batsmen just decided they didn't want to bat any more and got out for 50 twice

actually that might have been in Sharjah

That was Sharjah, the time Matty Hayden (Hayden of all people) outscored Pakistan's total combined in both innings.

Perth has dry heat, which is a lot more tolerable than the heat and humidity you get in Brisbane.

Actually, most things are more tolerable than Brisbane.

Yeah, welcome to Marble Bar. Difference here is very few people are stupid enough to live somewhere that hot.

Lol at thinking Australia is 'hot'

Y'all are weak
This is probably a reference to Dubai, where you can go weeks without actually travelling more than 50 metres outside, and people basically live in a Middle Eastern version of the Biosphere.

Lol at the suggestion that Australians had a choice to live there

Then again, I suppose a life of crime is a choice in the end.

Look at it this way. Australians (indigenous Australians aside) were forced to come here, but they made a place so great everyone else wants to get here. Compare that with India, which gave us Chennai; and China, which has to use force to keep its people there. Let alone Dubai, where they build an artificial environment to try to transform the natural **** hole that it really is.

These are important points to keep in mind *****.

Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die.

Pretty sad you have to justify Australia's existence with this line of thinking Burgey

***** if you're going with the "Australia is not a nice place to live" angle, you're not going to get very far. There aren't many better places, if any, in the world. Even the "most liveable cities" thing that goes around every few years usually has 4-5 Aus cities in the top 10-15 (the rest are usually in Scandinavia and Canada).

stick with the "Australian's are ****s" angle, at least it has some basis in fact

Never said Australia isn't a nice place to live. If I was going to be sent to prison I'd wish it was Australia.
