The biggest advantage in being weight enhanced is when some rude person tries rushing onto the train before the crowd and myself have exited. Someone once said it was like running into concrete when they tried going thru me on a hockey field.

Just landed in Hong Kong and we were originally thinking of going up to the peak, however visibility is very low today (it's really hazy) and we could barely even see the mountains as we came in to land. Is there any point bothering heading up? I suspect no in which case it's just the star ferry and a bit of shopping (Mrs Flashback can hardly stop smiling!!).

At least that means the crowds may be smaller!

Can be hard these days to find a smog free day in Hong Kong. Their neighbour has a habit of making too much smoke!

I'm in shape. Round is a shape.

My body is a temple - a Buddist Temple!

My first visit to Laos and all the young women would come up to me and rub my stomach.My ego rose until our guide told me I looked like the Happy Buddha and rubbing his stomach brought good luck.

Happened to me in Macau too. Fun times.

There's another at the Petrie Barracks, up from Suncorp Stadium/Lang Park, with a Wallabies scarf painted on it. And two on top of the Qld Performing Arts Complex.

Maybe they cannot read signs!

It is not rocket science. It is common sense which unfortunately they have never developed.

Another one is waiting for elevators at airports, train stations etc, with 3-4 bags on trolley and people just push past when doors open.

Another is walking along a footpath 2-3 across and expecting you to walk around them on the road.

It doesn't stop there either but no point stating the obvious any further....

I think the airport is a much safer place than the Queen St Mall for a 4m tall pink rabbit!

Interesting! Sounds like they are getting around!

Is this still Victoria Barracks on Petrie Terrace, or have they changed the name?

Considering the fire activity a few days ago, I present the unoffical Red Cordial Index.

Riding my bike yesterday and for some reason people and other bicyclists keep ignoring the line on the shared bike track and can't keep left despite the signs showing them!
Later at a shopping centre, people so engrossed in their phones not looking where they are going.
Sometimes when I am riding my bike I could easily bowl over someone (who is not paying attention or following the rules) and cause injury to them and me, but of course the Sydney shock jocks will say its my fault despite the fact I was following the rules.

In an unusual trait for me... You should have seen the death stare I gave some lass (and her bf) yesterday after she crossed in front of me when I was heading up an escalator (she was headed down and walked straight in front of me). She didn't look, didn't care and had no regard for anyone. Rude so and so.
