    Get quietly inebriated at one, that will help you to cope with the other one ;-) I haven't been to a Canberra Show since the kids were old enough to go by themselves.

    Subway actually ran an ad with an Asian person recently. One doesn't see many at all in any of the fast food ads despite so many staff being non Anglo.

    I've had a few web problems myself. I think that they may have been caused by a spider crawling through my computer. I've noticed a few bugs lately.

    I had a checkup yesterday. The doctor mentioned that I had had a blood test to detect problems with my thyroid. That surprised me- but it turns out that he meant my prostate. For a moment there, I thought he was going to stick his finger down my throat.

    Source it yourself on the internet. Even when my wife was working in the industry she would buy her own travel insurance over the net. Travel agents sometimes used to earn more from insurance commissions than travel commissions. And that was before airlines cut travel agent commissions way...
