Boobs - good and bad

[trixtah]

saluqi and I went to the Farmers' Market yesterday, which really is one of the best things about Canberra. We successfully hunted and gathered and looked at the cute chickens. While I was concerned that saluqi might want to abscond with one of the cute silkie chickens, I ended up being in more danger from a very determined young lady (hen), who seemed to want to become very closely aquainted with me. Well, if I'd had somewhere to stash chickens, I would have bought her. Who says that a bit of charm doesn't go amiss?

Also, the market is great because you can buy boobies (disguised as mushrooms). Very tasty they were, too.


While we're on the boob front (in the other, more negative sense of the word), would someone please tell the NRMA to stop mouthing off about bike paths? I pay them to provide me with a car breakdown service. I do not pay them to interfere with the provision of alternative transport means (which must be increasingly addressed with population growth - cars are simply not the only solution). I expect those kind of tactics from bloody oil companies. So, NRMA, butt the fuck out of it, and stick to providing your members with services, not political lobbying about a matter you evidently know bugger-all about.

I wrote an irate letter to their feedback form (in the "I would like to contact" field, I selected General/Enquiries, then I chose Member Advocacy from the "I would like to comment on" field that appears) , but I have also been looking for alternative arrangements - none so comprehensive so far, alas. Yay (virtual) monopoly. At least I don't pay them for insurance.
