Well, I'd be happier if it was fully ratepayer-owned instead of adding
yet more advertising to Brisbane's visual pollution. Bike hire's fine.

Mich, I know you like mentioning C-M and BT articles and such, and
it'd would be wonderful if you could include the links to the stories
mentioned when you do. That'd help everyone to know what you're
talking about, rather than having to do extra clicky-clicky to get our

The C-M demo is the same demo as the Daily Telegraph in Sydney and the
Herald Sun in Melbourne...
