I hope you brought enough for everyone. Otherwise you will have to give the cupcakes to the Queen elect and no one will get any.

 

Sorry mate, looks like the Googles made off with them(if you don't get the joke, down the bottom of the page it shows users viewing this page. It showed 62 anonymous Google users the moment I mentioned cupcakes)

And a pleasant horribly cold windy disgusting July evening to you, Naomis, that's how it is in Melbourne.

 

OK, so in Australia, we have this guy, he's called Clive Palmer, and he's incredibly wealthy, right? Problem is, he's also incredibly stupid. Like, Homer Simpson grade stupid. Infact he's quite a lot like Homer; always coming up with really stupid ways to lose his money. While Nathan Tinkler may hold the all time Australian record for stupidest way to bankrupt your company(he bankrupted his company spending corporate funds on a bunch of houses, cars, a LOT of cocaine, and hookers, he also put on nearly 200 pounds)

 

So Palmer, is the owner of a big golf course. The course used to hold a world PGA major, but Palmer alienated the men's PGA authorities, and now he's turning it into a gigantic "Dinosaur Zoo" Because nothing, but NOTHING, brings in revenue like a golf course filled with 8 metre tall, badly-made plastic tyranosaurses which make poorly recorded roaring noises when you walk past. And as if that's not enough, he's also doing something even dumber.

 

He's making a new Titanic. It's a scale replica of the original, and it's even got the same open-topped bulk-heads that sank the first one. And as if that isn't bad enough either, it's got to sail through the arctic. Palmer is attempting to use this hideously tacky leviathan to try and court China's resource sector, but for the most part their response has been "so this is why they say Aussies are dumb" He may aswell name it the "USS TEMPTIN' FATE" or perhaps "Unsinkable The Second"

I know the feeling, Melbourne whether is always unsettled.

 

There's a place near where I live called Phillip Island, it's really kinda special. It's got a car racing circuit that's open to the public, and that's good enough, but it's just a beautiful place to go on the weekend. It's quite a lot like the Isle Of Man-windy heath and moorland in the middle, craggy cliffs on the edge, and situated in a stormy, in this case antarctic, near-polar ocean. The weather there is just bonkers, I learned a long time ago to always wear wet-weather gear. Last time I visited it was sunny all the way down, but started raining just as I reached the bridge to cross onto the island. When I left, the rain stopped about the bridge point. Plus the wind is so strong, that most of the rain flies nearly horizontal.

 

Slightly surreal place. Most of it's an unspoiled national park, with Australia's most famous race track dumped in the bottom corner. So it's either echoing to the sound of endangered native bird life, or multi-million dollar race machinery. The trick is not to come off the track, if you go onto the grass-it rains so hard here that you'll need a tractor to haul your car out. Trust me, I fell off a motorbike there once, landed in that swamp. I swear I still smell of swamp a year later.
