Celebrate

Here's platform 4/5 at Hornsby station yesterday at noon. I counted approximately 100 twin-tube fluorescent light boxes which, coupled with those on platform 1 and 2/3, totals some 500 tubes blazing away. Then there were the incandescent globe lanterns...

And I thought, it's a wonderful society which can celebrate our unlimited access to power in such a generous fashion. Burn, baby, burn.

Speaking of celebrating society...

UPDATE: Punk'd!!

Oh you silly duffer, everyone knows that they light up the station so the train drivers don't miss the stop !
And just in case there are any celebrity agents reading this column, contact me please for instant stardom; liberal use of the words wog, dago, chink, towlhead, ethnic, new Orstralians and whatever else youse want is assured. I even will move to Dee Why or Cronulla if youse reckon that will be the place for skippy's. Hoist the Orstralian flag on top of the cab, I will.

Did you know that "Dee Why" is aboriginal for "home unit"?

All of those lights are as non-PC as Clare's effort but not as amusing. At least Clare's description is readily understood. Not like officialspeak which would refer to 2 male persons of interest.

Good for you to highlight (pardon the pun) this terrible waste of energy.

I hope that woman who was so rude to you was suitably embarrassed by her behaviour.
