Diary Of A Pom In Mt Isa

[Johnsy]

August 31st
Just got transferred with work into our new home in Mount Isa,
Queensland!! Now this is a city that knows how to live!! Beautiful
sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! I watched the sunset
from a deck chair on the veranda. It was beautiful. I've finally found
my home. I love it here.

September 13th
Really heating up. Got to 35 today. Not a problem. Live in an
air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to
see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshiper.

>>September 30th
>>Had the backyard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms
>>and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me.
>>Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
>>
>>October 10th
>>The temperature hasn't been below 35 all week. How do people get used
>>to this kind of heat? At least today it's kind of windy though. But
>>getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.
>>
>>October 15th
>>Fell asleep by the pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.
>>Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson
>>though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
>>
>>October 20th
>>I missed Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this
>>morning. By the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Kitty had died
>>and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the $3,000
> Leather
>>upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like
>>Wiskettes and cat sh*t. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in
> This
>>heat.
>>
>>October 25th
>>The wind sucks. It feels like a giant f*ckin blow dryer!! And it's hot
>>as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the blink and the AC repairman
>>charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needed to order parts.
>>
>>October 30th
>>Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bloody $300,000
>>House and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
>>
>>November 4th
>>It's 38 degrees. Finally got the ol' air-conditioner fixed today. It
>>cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 25, but the bloody humidity
>>makes the house feel like it's about 30. Stupid repairman! I hate this
>>stupid f*ckin place!!
>>
>>November 8th
>>If another wise arse cracks, "Hot enough for you today?" I'm going to
>>f*ckin throttle him. F*ckin heat! By the time I get to work the car's
>>radiator was boiling over, my clothes are soakin f*ckin wet, and I
> Smell
>>like baked cat!!
>>
>>November 9th
>>Tried to run some messages after work. Wore shorts, and sat on the
>>black leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my f*ckin arse was on
>>fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs
>>and my F*ckin a*se. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried a*se, and
>>baked cat.
>>
>>November 10th
>>The weather report might as well be a f*ckin recording. Hot and sunny.
>>Hot and sunny. Hot and f*ckin sunny. It's been too hot to do anything
>>for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next
>>week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn f*ckin place? Water rationing
>>will be next, so my $2,000 worth of palms just might dry up and blow
>>into the f*ckin pool. Even the palms can't live in this f*ckin heat.
>>
>>November 14th
>>Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 44 today. Now the
>>air-conditioner's gone in my car. The repairman came to fix it and
> Said,
>>"Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the $2,500 mortgage
>>payment to bail my arse out of jail for assaulting the stupid f*cker.
>>F*ck Mount Isa! What kind of a sick demented f*ckin idiot would want
>>to live here?
>>
>>December 1st
>>WHAT?????
>>Dec 1st is the first day of summer????
>>You are f*ckin kiddin!!

Oldy but a goodie

I was once flying an aircraft in NQ when I had an emergency. I was four minutes closer to Mount Isa than Cairns, which were the two closest diversion options for the aircraft that I was flying. That led to a reluctant decision to head to the Isa - passenger safety takes precedence over crew comfort.

Landed at Mount Isa right on dark, with temperature well over forty. I just want to know why the closest suitable airport when I had an emergency was Mount Isa, when everyone else seemed to divert to places like Bali?
