Murray's thoughts on stuff

Quiet ramblings that spring to mind, and penned when time permits. Current rambling: Poorly Placed Park Benches.

Poorly Placed Park Bench number 1

Exhibit A, notice the clump of trees obscuring the water view as well as the 'Yabbie Pumping Prohibited' sign. To the right a litte, are splendid (unobscured views) right up the water.On the whole I think this is quiet a good example of a PPPB.

and another thing...

Ok, it's been a year since I started this Blog, and I've finally had a quiet musing - but first some acknowledegments.
Firstly, I'm staggered that 3 people have bothered their arses to actually post something here. Actually, it's probably only 1 person - and that's a small polyester ape at that...the first looks like some sort of sad ad for Wriggleys Gum (no offence if you are actually a park ranger) and the last is probably an IM robot flogging a porn site - thanks, but no thanks.

And now for musing number 2.
I'm starting a catalogue of:
Poorly Placed Park Benches - or, PPPBs (if you prefer a catchy acronym).

I was wandering down the road here at beautiful Burleigh on the GC in QLD when I passed a park bench sited in what can only be described as a dissapointing location - I'll try to get a photo of it up.
It's about 3m from a sign reading "Yabbie Pumping Prohibited". Now that's NOT the most inspiring of vistas - espesically when said park bench could be placed nigh on 10m away and looking down the guts of a stunning waterway (riddled with Bull sharks mind you) whilst the sun sinks slowly into the horizon.
So, I'm appealing to citizens (and stuffed toys) from everwhere - post me your PPPBs.
I'm sure you've seen a few Murray the small ape from Melbourne...
