Bound To Save Ya!
My mate Thomas has decided that what Australia really needs is some form of Saint Bernard rescue service for stranded outback travellers. He thinks that kangaroos should have solar panels fitted to thier backs to run a mini fridge in the front pouch with a cold six pack, sattelite phone and GPS. Any body out there want to invest in a start up company? We may even get the jump on any competition if we move quick. We might even get some sponsorhip from Carlton United. What about , “Bound To Save Ya !” as a name.

Here Comes Mr Bush - May Day
May Day here in Germany is traditionally a day for union organised protests and as a result I found the central rail station in Frankfurt absolutely crawling with police in full riot gear. Every rail platform had at least a dozen officers and on the main concourses there were scores more.
Even though I was somewhat taken aback at such a high level of police presence it was nothing compared to the George Bush visit. As his plane had to land in Frankfurt before he transfered to Berlin there were thousands of protesters here aside of the tens of thousands awaiting him in Berlin. They had to cancel rail srvices as well as redirect airport traffic. Total chaos in all areas of public transport. It took me over an hour and a half longer to get home that day. Thanks George for messing up everyones lives here.
Why can't you fly into the airforce base in Ramstein and helicopter to your next destination rather than closing down the city for us average Joes? Most inconsiderate Mr President!!
He didn’t seem to achieve much for his visit either with the exception of getting a lot of people drowned in water cannons and similar traffic chaos in Berlin. The man should stay home and munch pretzels.
