News from up North: I HAVE INTERNET NOW.

We totally do. It's rad. It's like being a real person (again).

Urban Renewal


There's stacks of hugely depressing council funded graffiti around Newcastle: "yo dudes, littering is for lamewads, man", "Great City! Great Culture? Your Choice.", and - most depressing of all (because begging for pity is so gross) - "Respect Your City". Jesus.



Greater Credit Union

There are these hilarious ads for the Greater Credit Union, too. They (chiefly) discuss home loans, and The Greater's 'free holiday' program associated with them.

INT: Dinner table at some married couple's house. Toys and Fantastic Furniture garbage a-go-go.

Interviewer: So, what sort of holidays do The Greater offer?
Wife: Oh, you know, we've been to Fiji, New Zealand. You can go to Bali, on cruises, romantic getaways, packages. Dreamworld..
Husband: Mmm-Hmm
Wife: Seaworld, Movieworld; all over.
Interviewer: So, you like the free holidays offered by The Greater's free holiday program?
Wife: Oh, yes.
