A spokesman for the airline was quoted as saying: "What are you gonna do? Walk!?" Before performing an obscene hand gesture and setting fire to a pile of discarded luggage.
Jetstar has announced it will charge passengers to stow carry-on luggage in overhead lockers from next year, allowing only a small under-seat bag at no extra cost.
“Hey there’s a deadly virus going around, let’s not stand close together and let’s wear a little mask like a doctor does for a little while, if we all do it at the same time it’ll help” “YOU’RE RUINING MY LIFE! I HATE YOU!”
Me out loud: “I love the communal experience of going to the cinema” Me in my head: “Every single person in this cinema needs to fuck off.”

Me: Having so many projects on the go, in various stages of completion, some of which are time sensitive. My brain: Film a version of Animal Farm with children's toys like Play School
Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

"Oh sure, say what you like about a right wing US senator but a beloved Doctor Who writer is somehow different? SMH"
Held off on watching my 30th Anniversary 4K Bluray of "Doctor Who" (The Movie) [The Enemy Within] until the Australian anniversary. This time round I didn't sit on the floor too close to the TV but I did buy jellybabies especially.
