I can’t believe “bloody hell” is still considered an expletive in this day and age. It hasn’t been for at least a decade, as evidenced by its widespread use in advertising:
People are not offended anyway.

You think the new AIG Tower in Hong Kong looks like a mobile phone? Wait till you see this:
Crazy idea! The high-rise mobile
MILLIONAIRE mobile phone salesman “Crazy” John Ilhan has unveiled his radical design for a $40 million tower in the shape of a phone.
The distinctive 120m highrise in City Rd, Southbank, would house his multi-million-dollar communications empire and 166 luxury apartments.
Mr Ilhan, who put forward his “phone tower” plan earlier this year, hopes his distinctive building will become a Melbourne landmark.
“Every country has a building of some sort. Sydney has got the Opera House — why not this for Melbourne?” he told the Herald Sun.
Australia launched their microchip-embedded ePassport today. Apart from the cheesy name (who still calls their stuff ‘eStuff’ nowadays?) and the price hike (AUD 19 more than before… wtf?), what caught my eye was that this will let them use automatic SmartGates for border control at airports, relying solely on face recognition. Is that really reliable? Hong Kong has these automatic gates too (e-Channel… damn, another e-Something), but they use fingerprints for that which is a much more mature technology. Face recognition, I don’t think so mate…
Yesterday I accused Qantas for being a tight-arse… well after some research using Google, I found that by claiming CX points on QF, CX actually has to pay QF for the points, so in this case it’s very probable that Cathay Pacific is the one being tight. Sorry Qantas!
Why is it that Qantas never automatically credit my Cathay Pacific flights to Australia into my Qantas Frequent Flyer account? Case in point: my CX flights to Melbourne way back in Easter this year are nowhere to be seen, yet the CX ones I took to Tokyo didn’t pose a problem. Even my Finnair flights to Helsinki last week already show up in the online account summary.
Way to go, Qantas…
新屋果度無 Optus@Home… 點算…
話說十日前阿媽要去機場接機, 咁我就同佢買 Tulla Pass 啦, 仲再三吩咐: 「去到 Flemington Rd 好出 (freeway) 喇!」點知岩岩晌老豆口中得知, 果日佢地去到唔知 Dynon Rd 定 Footscray Rd 先出…-_-!
又唔晌當日同我講… 而家罰硬 A$100 啦… 我唔會俾架…
