    This may make it clearer.

    EVENT- Anything that happens, an occurrence, especially one of some importance. Macquarie Dictionary.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    At this afternoon's press conference, Victoria's Emergency Management Commissioner, Andrew Crisp, revealed that over the past two days, Ambulance Victoria had responded to numerous calls about children being left in hot cars.
    Mr Crisp said paramedics received 11 such calls yesterday and a further seven today.
    "I just can't understand the behaviour where young children are left in vehicles," Mr Crisp said.
    "I'm not sure how many times we need to keep telling people.



    That people can treat their most valuable possessions like this is deplorable & they need a SCUD up their arses.

    True, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind if it was used to describe extreme heat.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    The sudden spike in temperature here in Melbourne has had an effect on my aquarium. Initially the higher temps got the metabolism rates for the little fish and shrimp up , but to an unsustainable level , and now they are starting to die off.
    Coincidentally there was an article on the great die off millions of years back. The argument was something to do with rising sea temperatures and the resulting reduction in saturated oxygen in the water, with a die back of marine life. And the cycle continued with more and more extinctions.
    At least my die back isn’t too catastrophic, the fish and shrimp are relatively cheap to replace !

    "Hows it going, Chips?"

    "Hot mate hot"

    Sounds like the days of Chips Rafferty at the Iron Clad Marble Bar Pub are numbered as is old Chips & but it seems the Marble Bar Pub is still there but why? It was apparently 50c the other day.
