The aliens land in front of the Australian Parliament House in Canberra. As the pale spindly alien descends from the ramp, the prime minister emerges to greet them.
"We come in peace," intones the alien, "We wish to learn about your democracy and introduce it to our home world."
"Why us?" asks the PM.
"You are keepers of the democracy sausage," replies the alien.
"Also, we are taking Antony Green."

Plan for today: Catch a train with the family to the city and meet my Mum and one brother for lunch at our favourite Malaysian cafe, the one with the best chicken rice, then watch How to Train Your Dragon in Concert at the Sydney Opera House.

I've been to Taiwan twice and loved its railways. Do you keep a blog of your railway travels?

I used to think it silly that people treated politics like they do a game of football, demanding an exciting contest and loyal to their team no matter how pathetic they are.
But the analogy works quite well if you think about how terrible footballers are outside of the game.
Would you trust most footballers to do the right thing?

I'm waiting for Microsoft to release Total Recall so I can discover that I'm actually a secret agent leading a revolution against an evil corporation.

Have you ever wondered why the train seats have such complex patterns?
They don't start out like this. Out of the factory, the seats are plain.
With repeated use a fractal pattern develops on the fabric, becoming more and more detailed.
It's not dirt and grime, but the stains of the souls of the passengers who sit on them. Every day they lose a little more of their soul on the commute, until nothing is left but the empty shell of a salaryman.
Old trains have such character.
