As you drive North out of Sydney on the M3, I think, which is the Hume Highway, you cross the bridge over Moonee Moonee Creek. I think it’s about 80m high and a few hundred metres long. With my overactive imagination, I dislike rocketing across that bridge at 110kmh. I’m not afraid of [...]

2. When you ask him for something, the odds of receiving what you wanted are pretty slim.

This is an excerpt from the back of my toilet cleaning stuff. You’ll notice the third ticked item down the list?
