Has anyone seen Professor FlimFlam?

[village_person]

Having predicted that rain would not fill Sydney's dams, Professor FlimFlam was last seen at Como Boat Hire checking out the rates. The official figure for Waragama Dam's storage capacity as of 5th January 2016 is 94.5%. Check it out here:

To further discredit alleged Professor FlimFlam the newspapers are saying "NEW South Wales residents should stay away from rising waters as heavy rain hammers the state, emergency services have warned, and for some it is about to get even worse".

Professor FlimFlam seems to be intent on making a burlesque of his role as responsible adult.

Increases intelligence, especially in Queensland, said no one ever.

NSW weather: Bid to reach campers trapped by south coast floodwaters delayed as clean-up begins

A group of about 20 campers trapped by floodwaters on the NSW south coast will have to wait a little longer to be rescued, emergency workers have said, as a clean-up begins in the Hunter region after record rainfalls.

Torrential rain over the past few days saw rivers swell yesterday in the Hunter Valley, forcing evacuations at Raymond Terrace and prompting dozens of flood rescues.

Major flooding along the Wollombi Brook at Bulga is expected to ease, along with the Hunter River.

Among those campers who needed rescuing were Will Steffen and Professor FlimFlam.

**Humour warning.

Josh Frydenburg and his family had to evacuate their holiday home due to the Wye river fires around Christmas - I didn't find it particularly funny though

Pity they rescued him. He's a blight on humanity.

Well while you're not in a laughing mood you might consider the complete waste of the 1939 Royal Commission into what was know as Black Friday in Victoria. Judge Stretton’s recommendations:

1. The Forests Commission should have complete control of all forests.

2. The Forests Commission must pay greater attention to the reclamation and rehabilitation of forests and cease to be too preoccupied with revenue production.

5. The Forests Commission must recognise the necessity for protective burning in its areas and should respect local forest lore.

etc.

It isn't very amusing when the Greens and others have more authority than those who should be in charge.

It ain't funny but given the level of political expediency in Australia it's no wonder we have out of control bushfires.

Josh Frydenburg is part of the problem.

Ah yes those leftie Greens.They obviously are to blame for the wildfires in the U.S A, Indonesia and even Russia.

[debra9275]

yes, those fires occurred in Feb. 1939 when we  usually have our hottest weather - as is our usually fire season- not in December

You are aware that Professor Flannert does not control the weather or climate change?

[debra9275]

more recently Black Saturday was also in Feb 2009

[debra9275]

correction to post 37. Black Friday fires (1939) were in in mid January

so we've had a bad one already here (Dec) hoping that we don't have any more over the next few months, but Vic is very dry , so is SA
