As a general rule, yes.

And it's just local for me. :)


Avoid the weekends though; parking, joggers, viewers ... all tend to get in the way.

Still, the kids that some people bring make for a good hearty breakfast!

:)

I love kids, especially if they're well done.

I have a feeling this event, while it hasn't officially started, was what was screwing me over in catching a bus today.

<rant>I waited 30-45 minutes for a bloody bus today on Bondi Road as all 8-10 of the damn things drove by in packs and completely full!</rant>

Bloody public transport...

I believe that buses fear being attacked, which is why they all try to travel on convoys.

Not here as well!! Buses in London that are meant to come every 6 minutes only come every hour. Although you do get 10 buses at that one time!!

Leigh complained to me yesterday about my comment that buses travel convoy, pointing out that I never take buses.

That's true, and it's becase I don't want to be attacked. :)

Can I tell, Leigh, Can I tell, Can I :shock:

Leigh's going to a health farm for the weekend as part of his diet regime and will come back a new man that's a shadow of his former self (pictures at 11) :twisted:
