Mutant Shrimp!

Did it crawl out of three mile island???:hmm:

As for the train timetable being a work of fiction, I find that a little hard to believe (they do run to the timetable 95% of the time!)

p.s. I could be a bit bias as I now work for cityrail!

Aah I see they have started the brainwashing already bookworm!

Can't wait for the long weekend. Hot weather, beer, and BBQ. Nothing better in the world.

I do love the way other country's portray godzone though: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=_f_p0CgPeyA
