Lets fail Jetstar!
bout a fortnight ago my Mum (my mum came with me to melbourne for surgery, but flew different flights) waited until almost half past midnight for the 6.30 flight out of Launceston.
Now anyone who has been to Launceston Airport knows that there isn't much to do there for an hour let alone 7.
The following week we flew with them home (had no choice patient travel booked us on) we got to the airport earlier than check in so we wandered around for a while and then went to check our bags in about 10 mins before actual check in time.
we got told we'd have to wait.
Jetstar is slack in every way and with its most recent incident that involves paralympian Kurt Fearnley is the lowest of low.
It's time that budget airlines clean up there game and start treating people like people and not cattle

Sorry for the break in transmission
31st October
Went to Hilltop Hoods in Launceston
Thanks Roland for chillin with me, only in Launceston with you can I sit in a half empty hall at a hip hop concert and still talk about anything/everything
3rd November
Birthday, nothing great. Turned 23
9th November
Had to study for an exam for ancient civilasation literature.
I did well except for the question on Medea where I called Jason's new wife something completely different to what her real name is and that he was going to be the king of Athens when he did.
No matter the amount of study, thanks to anastetic and 3 weeks comatose the old memory box is a bit of fail
12th November
Flew to Melbourne for surgery
13th November
Spent 5 hours under the knife, all went well. This time instead of vomiting bright green spew from morphine , they gave me another pain killer which worked brilliantly, except for the uber mood swings
and they were uber
17th November
was released from hospital, flew home with slight discomfort. It feels like what I imagine would be like being kicked in the nuts, but internally, plus pressurised cabin probably is not that good of an idea either
What I want to know is why don't we have a urogynaecologist in Tasmania?
It sucks the constantly putting my life on hold so I can travel for hospital visits
anyone would think that Tasmania is actually an annexe of Victoria
til next time!

The Logies
Australia's answer to The Emmy's were held last night in Melbourne, and they were the Biggest sack of fail I have ever witnessed.
Now dear reader allow me to rant for a while.
First things first; you got a never was been in Gretel Kileen hosting the debarcle, a woman whom is annoying and smug and completely lacking comedic timing, trying to be funny, and failing miserably.
Then you have the awards itself.
WHY OH WHY DO WE LET THE TAMMY'S AND THE BOGANS SMS?
The three major television shows to win last night were Channel Nine's Underbelly, Channel Seven's Packed to the Rafters and Channel Ten's Rove.
Now, I bear no malice towards Underbelly or Rove, both are brilliant. Underbelly, whilst being highly explicit show sthe history of Victoria's gangland wars brilliantly, it was well written, well acted and deserves all accolades that come its way. Rove is Australia's best talk show/light entertainment show and always has a diverse range of guests.
However Packed to the Rafters, despite having a few good actors in Michael Caton and Rebecca Gibney, falls flat dreadfully.
The younger actors over act like it's the end of year play in Primary School and it's plot lines seem to be recycled plots from Home and Away and now defunct show Always Greener. It may have deserved "Most Popular Drama" but nothing more or less.
Rebecca Gibney walked away with the Gold Logie, which normally would not worry but, She actually had the majority of Launceston voting for her, through a campaign on the local radio station LA-FM.
Now for those who don't know, Gibney lives in Tamar Valley and is quite vocal about making sure there's no pulp mill built (which she should be applauded about) but also does a lot of promotional things for LA-FM
so it seems one hand gives the other a gold logie in Launceston today.
Whilst the ceremony was incredibly lack lustre there was four highlights
Dave Hughes' Monologue
Wil Anderson's Monologue
Peter Phelp's trying to find Humphrey B. Bear a job
and Bill Collins, Australia's 'Mr Movies' finally being inducted in to the hall of fame
