Another enhancement to this site - a search function in the top right-hand corner. I've done a few tests and I think it's working.

As The Sunday Mail reports this morning, Brisbane's Coronation Drive is to be dug up yet again as part of the controversial Hale St Bridge project. Is the bridge - which, in the words of someone in the know, will "completely stuff" the Queensland Theatre Company's relatively new $7 million offices and studio complex at South Brisbane - more trouble than it's worth? I'm a motorist but I'm, also aware of the damage driving does to the environment. Perhaps the council and the State Government should take a new tack - do absolutely nothing to help private motorists in the inner city and put everything they've got into improving public transport. Eventually, gridlock (and rising petrol prices) will force us to use it.

I learned two things today:
1) A "random" is a person you don't know who you end up doing something with - like sitting next to them on a roller coaster.
2) The best way to queue jump is to wander up looking totally clueless and just join the line wherever you like.

I'm generally in favour of cycling - it's a great way to exercise and a good way to cut down on carbon emissions - but I've seen some pretty stupid bicycle riders in my time. Today three guys on bikes not only entered the tunnel under the inner-northern Normanby Fiveways against a sign that clearly indicated they were not to do so, they also wandered all over the road. Nobody deserves to get hurt, but these guys were really pushing their luck and it would be hard to blame any motorist who might have accidentally hit them.
