Part 1
I love my air conditioner. If you have ever lived in the tropics you will know the difference between a night with air conditioning and a night without it. Even in the sub tropics of Brisbane it is still advantageous to have air con. There are some people who think that it is bad for you or that it “doesn’t really do anything.” To them, I say, snap out of it! To those super smart engineers who invented air conditioning over 100 years ago I salute you!!

It is a shame that we can’t fool these fantasists who perpetuate the global warming swindle into believing that huge big air conditioners could solve the problem. Hang on, maybe they could be fooled, but to effectively tell a lie you must act as though you believe in it, this could be a stretch for me. I am calling on Russell ‘Maximus Decimus Meridius’ Crowe to lend his voice to my documentary called The Great Global Air Conditioning Challenge, or TGGACC for short. Any one interested in investing in this movie please leave a comment below with your bank account details.

Part 2
Why on earth on Saturday were we unable to find a pub in the whole of Brisbane that had decent air conditioning? The Fox at South Brisbane was absolutely ridiculous! The 40°C we were experiencing in outside ambient temperature was lower than inside the actual Pub Tab. When I asked old mate bar chick to pump up the air con she advised me that they were broken. Broken you say Fox? Well good luck for the rest of your business life because after a long period of awkward service, only one open TAB machine (even when you have two on site), lack of beer coasters and now air conditioners that have been broken for at least 12 months you can bash your bar up your clacker! It’s a shame that your good location and all the other possibilities are wrecked by a lack of interest or thought from your bar managers and staff.

Maybe the “bash it up your clacker” call is a bit early, being that the bar is in such a good location and has such possibilities, should we A) tell the proprietor of our thoughts in the hope that they make some minor improvements to rectify the situation B) vote with our feet and leave the bar stagnate due to the lack of our business, which I believe was reasonably significant; or C) continue to support the venue and put up with the problems?

Part 3
Another air conditioning thought, why don’t most public schools have air conditioning? Every other government building in the country has air conditioning except for schools. I don’t so much feel for the kids, it’s the teachers and various staff that are forced to endure summer surrounded by 35°C humid air and 30 stinking kids? I understand that many jobs don’t include air conditioning but in those instances where you are labouring or doing other outdoor type work, you would dress yourself with the expectation you will be sweating your ass off. If I were a teacher, it would be difficult to find clothing you can sweat in all day and still be presentable enough to meet little Johnny’s lawyer parents the next time he plays up.
