Murray's thoughts on stuff

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

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...

YES! Murray (the small ape, who is actually from Qld - Seaworld actually..)and I have noticed that park seating is not always as well placed as it could be. Another thing we've noticed is seating placed on a slope in such a way that your feet don't reach the ground whilst seated. I wonder if juicyfruiter, the park ranger has any thoughts on this. It's worse for Murray 'coz he's got really short legs!
Anyway, Muzza and me will keep our eyes open. Let's rid the world of this curse, this scourge.
So what are blogs for if you can't rant occassionally!
