Nationwide 1300 935 569 (1300 yellow)
Costa Concordia partially capsized off the Italian west coast after hitting a rock on Friday, 13 January 2012. The luxurious cruise ship was carrying more than 4000 passengers and crew members at the time of the accident. At least six people have died and more than a dozen are missing. It is being compared to the disastrous accident of ‘Titanic’ on 15 April 1912, killing 1,517 people, on her maiden voyage.
Troy Finch, General Manager of Yellow Express handing the iPad2 to the Winner, Laura Davies
We started our “Win an iPad2” Competition on our Facebook page back in May, and we were overwhelmed by the participation and well thought out responses, maybe even a few romances blooming.
The competition was to tell us in 25 words or less what you would get us to do, so you can continue to enjoy your life.
When it ended in October, we had over 2500 participants to choose from. It was difficult to select only one winner, but after much thought and consideration we decided on an entry by Laura Davies:
Something that I must confess…
while moving house I tend to stress.
Who can help me with this mess?

After finding a friend of hers had already entered our competition on our Facebook page, Laura decided to enter as well. Continue Reading

This is reported to be the world’s oldest car. It is a 1884 de Dion Bouton et Treardoux dos-a-dos steam runabout called La Marquise and has a top speed of 60 km/h and runs on coal, wood and paper. Its steam powered engine will give you enough range for 30 km trip. It is going up for auction on the 6th of October and if you are interested it will set you back about $2 million! Remember this story when the dealer offers you $500 for your old bomb… it could be priceless in 100 years or so.
The Sydney Running festival is on again so if you plan on visiting North Sydney, Sydney, Pyrmont or Centennial Park this Sunday 18th September be aware that your plans may be effected.

You may know we like bridges. But we also like airports. Not any old airports. Rather, ones that are a little unusual. And we think this one is more than a little unusual. Gibraltar is a British overseas territory that is often mentioned in old war movies but barely rates a mention at the average dinner table. But if you ever flew into Gibraltar Airport you would have a story to tell. Not just because there is a great big rock out your window. It is unusual because it has a major road that crosses the main runway. When planes take off or land the traffic has to stop and likewise, planes cannot land unless the roadway is clear. This produces interesting times for pilots, passengers, drivers and residents alike.
If you thought our previous post about old school advertising was out there, this one is even better. Given that beer is normally marketed at males, kudos to the advertising executive who dreamed up this campaign aimed at BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS AND THEIR BABIES!
We came across this video from Japan the other week and could not believe what we were looking at. It fascinates us both scientifically (why does it happen?) and gastronomically (how could you eat it?). Apparently it is caused by a voltage reaction between the high salt content in the sauce and the nerves in the tentacles to cause the effect you see in the video.
Please understand that the squid has been served without its head so you are not looking at anything that is alive.
Thanks to Christian Ibrahim, The Daily Mail and nhanphantrung for the video.
