You know how you call Centrelink and you’re on the phone for hours and when they finally answer they ask you your name and you say ‘Brendan Luno’?... or is that just me?

Jetstar flight to Bali delayed almost 3 hrs! Should be just enough time to get through on their phone line & complain.
The Flower Drum restaurant has a payphone in the foyer. I want to call Perry White at the Daily Planet & report a sighting of Superman.

Driving around Tasmania & the roads are lined with Liberal Party posters & roadkill. I'm sure that says something about something...

Saw Clive Palmer exiting the Qantas lounge at Melb airport popping a lolly in his mouth. Afraid he was going to explode like Mr Creosote.
Saw a guy at Coles watching the footy on an iPad in his trolley while doing the shopping. Who says men can't multitask?

Why can't we all just get along? Oh, I just remembered - because there are too many racist, misogynist, homophobic arseholes out there.
So I rose at 7 today & surprised a lot of people. Guess I'm not the first Jew to do that.

So I somehow ended up at Tom Jones. Great band, Tom in fine voice. Only problem was jeans chafed on the way home. Hope Tom liked my Bonds.
So this A320 I'm on cost Jetstar $120 million. That must be why they can only afford one scanner at the boarding gate.
The 5th Circle of Hell: the one described by the baggage carousel as it goes round & round without your bag on it.
With apologies to my America friends
At Forest Lawn Cemetery in LA looking at movie stars' graves. Something v satisfying about being surrounded by thousands of dead Americans.
No matter where you travel in the world it seems you can't escape Americans. I'm in LA and the place is full of them.

Melbourne Zoo is filled with strange & exotic creatures. And there are animals too.

Called my wife for free from somewhere over the Indian Ocean via Emirates wifi. Forget hover cars & rocket boots - the future is here now.
I'm a Jewish Spanish Australian eating Mexican on Chinese New Year in Dubai. If I was any more multicultural I'd be Eurovision.

I explained to German tourist you can only use Dubai mall free wifi w local phone. He said "It makes no sense!" Welcome to the Middle East.
Can't get enough of innuendo based hardware retailing. Had a successful trip to Knobs & Knockers. Next stop Bun-nings.
