I’m feeling renewed today. I just spent a great weekend in the nations capital. I think it’s the perfect time to be their. All the politicians are elsewhere, and the place feels like it’s just that little bit quieter.

Road Trips and Worlds Worst Passenger

July 5, 2010

About 5 years ago, my car was stolen. At the time I wasn’t even that upset about it. It ended up about 1km from my place, in a duck pond in a large reserve. I thought it was quite amusing at the time. I didn’t end up replacing the car as I need the insurance [...]

Jetstar! You made my day!

February 12, 2010

I, like many subscribers of jetstars offers, would of got this gem this morning. ‘Introducing The Jetstar Customer Guarantee’ Most of it is pretty much your standard garbage that ‘ALL’ customer service organisations wax lyrical about.

2009 Recap : European Trip Part 1 (GG/Ireland)

February 3, 2010

In the middle of last year my brother just younger than me got married. It’s not like I need much of an excuse to travel, but this was a little bit special. I hadn’t been on an oversea big trip in a few years which made me both nervous and excited at the same time. [...]
