I've entered for the whole family but don't hold out much chance. Exciting though, innit?

Oh..... and speaking of WA and excitement (I know - two words not closely associated very often), I thought I would post a photo of Santa arriving at Harvey Norman (obviously to buy his Xmas electricals) by helicopter on Sunday. He does this every year - our third time of being there to greet him

Yeay - go WA!

If you had experienced the Clarskson line trains in the last two weeks as they get ready for you lot down south you would look forward to it like a trip to the dentists!

Yeah....... but we're worth it

YOU SOUTHERNERS ARE STEALING OUR TRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a serious note, I can not believe that stup!d air head project manager (can't remember her name) didn't order enough trains for that line. And worse still, it's gonna be another 12 months of being packed on like cattle, until the new ones arrive.

Welcome to Australia it's a c*ck up!

Told you - you should have moved south

Alana McTiernen. Mr NB has recently bought a motorbike and goes on that to avoid the balls up that is now the Clarkson to Perth line.

I am looking forward to the new line opening, it'll mean we can drive to Mandurah and then just train it rather than driving the entire way, having to worry about parking, etc. etc.

Last night 3 trains in a row at about 4.30pm only went as far as Whitfords so there were loads of us waiting in Perth for a Clarkson train. Then when it got to Whitfords hundreds (literally) of people piled on to complete their journey and the train was packed. At Currambine a couple of hundred of us got off and had to queue for 5 minutes to tag off because there are only 2 machines (Edgewater is even worse). I nearly crashed the car driving home I was so mad.

I can get free parking in the city with work so I might start driving in. Is that what you planned Ms McTiernan?

You mean she actually plans stuff?

I thought she just ran round the state like a headless chicken giving off little soundbites as she went.... I didnt know there was plannign behind it all!

That's the cow.

I'm thoroughly looking forward to the Burns Beach, Jindalee, Yanchep, Somerly and other developments which will significantly increase comuter traffic on the northern line.

Oh dear, starting to sound like a whinging Pom.

p.s. Hey, Mrs Bird, tell hubby I'll buy a helmet and he can pick me up every morning.

single seat bike Dom!

Don't worry mate. I'm riding pillion on Northern Bird hubby's new motorbike, and we can go halves on a side car.

What you're diplomatically trying to say, is I'm a fat b@stard and would slip off the back.

Cheers

It is a single seat. well you have seen Mr NB, he is a large bloke and can barely get his arse on it

I see he had to get one in the Man U colours!!
