Script's Ready. Would You Like Fish Oil With That?

Imagine visiting cinema land from October 1. Over at the refreshments counter, you decide to order a bucket of popcorn. How would you react if the friendly young woman behind the counter suggested you needed to buy a Coke, because the popcorn is salty and you will feel thirsty during the film? This takes the 'super size me' culture to a whole new level.

Loudest Voice Gets Attention


It is a regrettable life lesson that the obnoxious one who complains loudest is processed first.

We arrived bleary eyed at terminal two on a cold, rainy morning. It was the first weekend of the school holidays. A procession of cars waited to pull in at the drop-off zone.

Two excited young women were heading to Queensland. Their anticipation was reminiscent of schoolies, but this time it was university games. I expect the shenanigans will be similar.
