Re: Supermarket parking

Years ago, I lived in a remote town in western Australia, and used to own and drive a Mini Moke there. I hardly ever cleaned the exterior body and left it dusty and dirty. I never had a problem with people parking right next to it. Wish I still had it.

Re: So little time and so many disasters

Please, oh please, take Tony Abbott. We want him to be an ex-Oz. Take him and keep him.

His record of achievement?

1. Stuffing up the NBN (National Broadband Network) here by leaving it on copper cable in the ground.

2. Being booted out as PM by his own party after only 2 years in the job.

3. Overseeing a free trade deal with China that is now in jeopardy.

Productivity

I've had so many productivity apps that have been foisted on me by IT, that I didn't have any time for any real work. EG Office, Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, Yammer, Skype, Agile Central, InfoPath, etc etc
