OMGA. (Oh my giddy Aunt).

Seems there is to be another tent revival and feel good session scheduled in Perth – Feb 04. (Tambourines not provided, BYO).

Flight Plan 2030 is the grandiose title (who dreams this shite up).  One can only hope the intention is sort things out by 2030 LMT rather than 2030 AD.

There is a ‘free’ lunch provided.  Now every fool in the market place knows, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." 

Kipling...came upon a bar-room full of bad Salon pictures, in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts.

Snake oil salesmen use similar tactics to sell bridges to tourists.  It’s bollocks – there are many other things the DAS could be spending his time and our money on, which would provide immediate relief; but a ‘free lunch’ ain’t going to provide much more than additional, unwanted, post event flatulence .  The gods know we have too much of that product floating about the place right now.

Somebody get a rope on these clueless, witless idiots, before they hurt themselves.
