hp7I thought I should finally update my thoughts on Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows. Overall - quite good. It reads very differently to the other books and flows more as far as action etc is concerned. Must less descriptive and less character development (as it was not needed). A little short, but yeah. I did not like the last chapter, just seemed poorly written or something. The ending was rather predictable, to me anyway, but not bad. Possibly finished a little too happy for my liking, but perhaps that is an unwarranted sentiment. It is a childrens book, and easy reading for an adult, but unique in its own right.

p.s. parking at the PA sucks more than ever now!

HP7poor duds simply referred to poor duddikin being a wuss. nothing else.
A few people thought I would post up a spoiler. I won't.. well maybe sat at 6.59am or something, just before borders opens their doors.
HP7Well, deathly hallows definitely starts off differently than I expected... poor duds. and whats the deal with the number 7 in wiccan, they use it a lot. & occurs in nature a lot aswell.

Public transport rantFor most of last week and this week I have been utilising my free 2 week transport pass (c/o of the bribes offered to staff at the PA hospital due to the lack of parking).
It's not particularly a good encouragement to use public transport when every single train I have caught has had an issue. Either arriving late, being overfill and having to squeeze in (because people won't move down from the entrance into the hallway), connections not matching up or just having to sit in a damn tunnel for 5-10 mins waiting, for no reason.
It took 30 minutes to go from central to dutton park (normally takes 12 mins). No explanation offered, no 'apologies for your inconvenience' or anything.
It's not all a result of the refurbishment to Brusnwick st station either (platform 3/4 closed, for like 6 months).
I've also had buses not turn up, and just dissappear from the electronic screens.
Awesome work Brisbane.

And what the hell are trams suppose to do to help this? It's too late, you can't add extra lanes for the trams, or special turns etc. There is nothing 'light rail' can do for the inner city now (preposed for newfarm - city - south brisbane) that more buses etc can't.
And don't get me started on parking in the "pa hospital parking distrcit".....
