    In Brisbane at the moment: Was helping get a lady with two (!) broken legs to the hospital and I'm in the back steadying the wheelchair she was on (the ambulance had to go to another location so we didn't have a spare gurney and was using a loaned van) Anywho she's in the back with both legs elevated on an extension to the chair and she says "I haven't had my legs up like this for years" We nearly drove off the road, in hysterics. Three people absolutely laughing their ass off at emergency reception got some strange looks I can tell you. Brisbanes infrastructure (power, comms, supplies has come back fairly quickly, more work to do but I'm impressed - though Brazil depresses me) Happy trails Oh and I'm going to visit her in hospital today, that should brighten my day I'm sure.

    Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them along with this slice of humble pie, that comes direct from the oven of shame, set at gas mark 'egg on your face'.

            I hope you all can get back to your normal lives ASAP, although I know that many will not not be that lucky... :rose:

            I believe that's normal, even positive. You know, having a bit of fun in a situation like that surely helps keeping the morale up. Probably they should have avoided to laugh in public, but still I perfectly understand the need to get away from reality for a few moments. Here in Italy we have floods pretty much at any spring and autumn, pretty much everywhere in the Country. Large cities like Milan, Rome or Naples never get flooded though (I live in Milan). Our problem here is that these things keep happening every year, the problems is always the same: too much buildings near rivers or in areas with unstable ground. At least you don't have to blame your own politicians and administrations.

            If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe, but not a personality. [Charlie Brooker] ScrewTurn Wiki, Continuous Localization and My Startup
