Brisbane is swapping silly season for a soggy one, with rain forecast to fall on the city almost every day in the next 28 days.
Weatherzone meteorologist Robert Wood said Brisbane was in for a soaking, with between 150mm and 200mm expected to fall between now and New Year's Eve.
I was hoping for a really dry season, so I could hear the same people that shouted that shout about not having any water and being placed on restrictions.
Feels like Winter on the Gold Coast today, lots of people wearing jeans and jumpers. I don't mind this weather gives me an excuse to play games with my friend Johnny.
Till it seeps into some Telstra pit, gets into the cracked hardened gel around a connection joint and decimates your stability..
I've got an ex-telstra dude in my street. We opened the pit one day when I had another neighbor remove some trees in our yard with his Backhoe (or something) and pulled up our phone line with it. Anyway, turns out the pit used these old dodgy gel things and he replaced it with some silicon containing device.. Cool story hay.

...later...
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Peter Otto said the bureau did not provide 28-day forecasts because these could prove unreliable.
Heh, you know a weather forecast is bullshit when not even the expert weather guys are willing to take a punt.
I forgot how fucked Australians are with their umbrella's. You position yourself miles away from the metal pokey bits as you walk past, but just as you are next to them they adjust, move, start having an epileptic fit and the spikey bits go straight towards my eyes. FUS RO DAH.
This is eerily like 2010... those kinds of numbers this early had a build up effect didn't they?? Add a cyclone/weather system some time next january and we'll be under water again? Or am I just glazing over alot of important weather info

Boxhead, there was a significant build up last September and October that we haven't seen this year. It'll be wet, but it's not going to flood again.

I like it how even after this was posted people are still taking the OP seriously. Weather predictions more than a few days are pure guesswork, that's why long term weather predictions by climatologists are such a joke.
dude, more than three days and the weather predictions are guess work,
however BOM does provide predictions as much at three months out (difference in wording and meaning, but they do calculate (as best they can) a few month out)
Laugh in the face of mother nature with your own personal hands free umbrella dome that will shelter you from the rain while giving plenty of room to talk on the phone, keep your hair all fancy, and ensure you’ll get plenty of looks from jealous haters.
Upside down land.. today the car said 31 degrees outside temp while Brisbane seems to be chilly. Although on the weekend just gone it got down to 1 degrees overnight and a top of about 11 during the day.
monckton isn't insane, it's much more likely he's spreading global warming doubt because he's from an alien civilisation that's just waiting to inherit the planet after we fuck things up
That doesn't take into account that usually that rainfall is dropped down in short bursts then is dry for awhile giving time for the rain to filter down or wash away, etc instead of a constant drizzle which will make everything a little soggier.
Don't forget that the Romans could craft beautiful roads which the rain wouldn't sit on, but Queensland councils can't.
Yes it is relevant, my point was thousands of years ago the Romans created roads which drained nicely but with the progress of technology the roads in Queensland are worse than the roads of yesteryear.
tried traveling at 100kph on a cobblestone road in a 2 tonne vehicle?
people say "the roads are shit", the roads are fine, the speed limit is what needs to be reduced..
and harsher fines too..
/troll, Brisbane roads are actually pretty shit and makes me wonder what bligh is doing with all the phat rego lootz she's liberated from the QLD drivers.

fucking lol, IF you had any idea of the labor cost that would be involved in laying a roman style road, and the prep work, involved you wouldn't even mention that!!!
also, the method that the romans used wouldn't work on most of the places that Qld has roads, they also wouldn't take the weight of modern traffic

Yes I used to live in England. I however was talking about water runoff, not cruising along the Bruce, going around the corner and then aquaplaning over a lake which has collected on the road when on either side of the road are ditches with no water in them.
You could take my post as it was meant 'Be careful on the road's water collects on it's surface in this state/country'.

it is about trade off, while the water might not run off like a roman road, it will provide vastly less grip, ( wet (no standing water) cobble stones, with the tyres bouncing away might has less chance of aquaplaning, however all vehicles will have a massive increase in stopping distance) where a chip tar road, or concrete might have a high change of water pooling, it will always provide a higher level of grip, wet or dry that a cobble stone, or any current design that would move water
But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans really ever done for us?
Copious, it has more to do with the angle of the road and the support underneath with drainage ditchs next to the roads, there are hundreds of thousands km's of modern roads built on top of Roman roads. All I meant was water collects on the roads, drive safe damn it.
Yeah they had slaves and less cigarette breaks. Ever driven on the Bruce Highway in the rain (when it becomes one lane per direction)?
It isn't much fun when you are going 70 in a 90 zone, going around a corner with a truck bearing down on you when you hit a huge collection of water and your rear kicks out a little, that truck behind you doesn't have to slow down because he has the weight to keep him pointed in the right direction, so he doesn't slow down.
It's a highway that service's a whole heap of Queensland but closes when it rains? I'm not saying every road in Qld needs to be perfect, but it's an important road that needs a lot of love.

no, you're still wrong and my point still stands that your statement is complete pointless and was made with a second of thought put into it

the amount of times i have nearly knocked bitches out for this, if ur using an umbrella how about u dont fuckin have it at eye level u slut!
i guess we can add ancient roman architecture to the list of shit copuis thinks he's an expert in?
dont have to be an expert to know how they built it (fyi, I know a little seeing that I was a re-enactor covering the dark ages, and roman, covering the time of Vespasian, but hey, not like you bit up anything when you spend alot of time researching stuff to make sure it is correct to the time)
also, there are different types of road (much like modern roads) a rough road (ala chip tar of today) was non uniform paving stones, where are the really really nice roads are all uniform stones, much like an asphalt as used on a race track
