Or shall we comment on the funny word play in a crackers ad, that is so irritatingly good that I had to take a picture of it? Or shall we perhaps bring out the big guns and start a privacy rant over the fact that half of Melbourne is monitored to promote a ‘safe city’ whilst clearly annoying some of us privacy fanatics by infringing on our rights to shop without being monitored doing so?

Spent last week at the Australia and New Zealand Academy of Marketing conference in Melbourne, which was great. Had not been back to Melbourne for ages and found that not much had changed but that I liked it a lot more than when I was first there. Discovered many nice restaurants, bars and cafes. Particularly enjoyed the many alley bars and small restaurants by the waterfront, which, due to it being summer down under, allowed for many a warm night outside by the water. Also discovered a nice rooftop bar with beautiful night views over the city.
