On my wedding night on Hamilton Island I was offered still, mineral or Island water and me being adventurous said Island water please and that was the wrong choice apparently. I reefed my dinner up something shocking.

jeez. These velcro people don't mess around

If you think they're being greedy arseholes, you shouldn't! They aren't doing this for themselves, they're doing it because it's the right thing to do god damnit!

ExplanationIf anybody's curious why they're so adamant about us not calling velcro shoes velcro shoes if velcro doesn't make the velcro, there's a little thing called trademark genericisation. Basically, when a product becomes so popular that people begin crawling similar generic products the trademarked term, the company can lose their trademark and then anybody can call anything the trademark. A couple of notable ones (stolen from Wikipedia, so may not have ever been trademarked here); laundromat (and launderette), air fryer, escalator, and sellotape.

So wee little drama-llama yesterday evening. Guess which tired dumbass almost lost their laptop at the airport?

Was very lucky, but have also hurt my hip on top of an already injured calf. Gave my self a cough from bolting across the terminal to one gate and back again. Waste as my plane was still boarding.

And man, I just keep getting the burps. I definitely felt like a very gross passenger to sit next to. πŸ˜‚

Just thought of ominous mash-up of tram announcements: For your continued safety, please remember to touch on your Myki.
