Big questions

[Quiggers]

I'm always asking questions, it's a part of my job (and thank you to those who helped with the last correlate). I ask only because I don't know - experts, helpers and other opines will be gratefully countenanced.

1). I'm sitting here in 90% humidity according to the gauge - the weather news says Sydney is 100%. Given 100% is a maximum, what is it a maximum of? Or are Sydney people breathing water?

2). Why is Brisbane sometimes referred to as BrisVegas? Having once been a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada - I don't see any comparison - thoughts?

3). Given Disco 1s, RR Classics and Defenders of the same era are basically the same - re the platform and drivetrain, why is there such a rivalry between these vehicles (or operators of). Bodies may be different, as are the internal fittings, but, they're all Land Rovers.

Thank you all for your input

Answers:

1. Yes, I always thought Sydney siders were a bit fishy.

2. Isnt "Brisvegas" the name for Surfers?

3. It's obvious isn't it, Disco 1's were rubbish, Defenders are uncomfortable and RR Classics were just perfect in every way.

1. The % is of the amount of water air can hold at that temperature. As air gets colder it holds less water, and more as it heats. Hence, a 30 Degree day with 50% humidity will feel sticky, whereas a 20 degree day with 50% humidity feels like paradise

2. Brisvegas means Brisbane. It is tongue in cheek... it's really a big country town.

3. Got me why not just enjoy life.

1) Sydney people cannot breathe water. They can't even drink it! And that's coming from the part of the country most likely to be drinking sewerage.

2) BrisVegas is so called because it's the bright light in the middle of the desert that is Queensland. It is the centre of entertainment, not to mention prostitution, for an entire state, and the top part of the one to the south as well.

3) People who drive Defenders (and One Tens) are rugged individuals who don't care about personal comfort, people who drive RR Classics are rugged individuals who don't care about fuel bills and people who drive Discos are rugged individuals who don't care about other Land Rover drivers, judging by their lack of waving. I can't see why there'd be any conflict.

1: See Capt's answer, However Sydney siders might as well breathe water, the real question is do they commute to work or do they work to commute. From what I can see the average Sydneysider has a life of total futility at least 5/7 of their average weekly cycle. Very similair to the common Goldfish, they talk on the mobile phone whilst commuting to go to work, they go to work to pay off the overpriced dwelling and the huge mobile phone bill, they are paying off the overpriced dwelling so they don't have to commute too far to go to work. They have the mobile phone so they can socialise with family and friends whilst commuting to and from work. This vicious circle continues until on day they die from the stress of commuting to and from work and paying huge bills or from a mysterious brain tumor stangely enough on the same side they have rested their mobile phone on for years (not proven).

2: Brisbane is called brisvegas, dunno, does Elvis frequently get seen eating double fried chicken thickshakes and spending up big.

Talking of Elvis is Britney Spears the new Elvis? Their dietary delights are similar, they both are from, well, poor to middle class families, they both used to look good in their prime but have let it all hang out so to speak. Both have reported bad temper tantrums, spend money on big houses fast cars and more fried chicken.

Oops, I hijacked again


Wah ha ha

3: Disco drivers are wanna be Defender drivers who cannot live without all the mod cons, trust me I am one.

[Redback]

(1) What Captain said

(2) No idea

(3) They hate each other because they didn't buy a Disco 2

where's the love
