Greetings to Balgowlah, Australia! What's the weather like? Here in the UK, it is raining incessantly, and Worcester up the road is flooding due the Severn bursting its banks.

Very dry here, some rain would be nice if you could arrange that ;)

Got a siphon? You are underneath the Earth and we're on top of it so I suppose it'll naturally drain through the pipe anyway!

Sunny as well I expect? I am looking at the grey clouds and horrendous weather out of the window here.

Wish I could visit!

Perhaps cut your teeth on a nice technical discussion before calling an article in your local metro newspaper "crackpot".
