parking-infringement-02-jan-08.JPGThis is my vent post. I had a slight clash with Melbourne CBD parking inspectors this morning. I’ve cashed up the meter, sipped down a coffee quickly posted a blog. Yes I admit I let time off its leash a little returning to the meter half an hour over. I was greeted small fluttering slip of paper neatly held under my windscreen wiper blade. On the 2nd of January 2008 at 08:23 my pleasant morning was devastated. I have not had much experience parking in Melbourne but to pay $52.00 in a parking tower over New Years and then to pay a $55 infringement (plus golds I actually did stuff in the meter) is a little bit steep. I am guilty of Offence No: 702E - Parked - Fail to pay fee and obey instructions on sign/meter/ticket etc. Road Rule 207 (2) (Meter Expired). By putting right hook turns and possessed parking inspectors across inner city Melbourne I will certainly be cautious next time I venture out to these streets of bedlam. Anyone else had experiences with nasty parking/traffic episodes in Melbourne CBD post your comments please!

Parking Inspector Spotted on Chappel St

Another inspector spotted shortly after the first incident patrolling down Chapel Street - his infringement gun poised firmly to his hip.


Supporting The Scud

Having sushi in Melbs for New Years day and we have run into Mark Philippoussis. This siting has cast my attentions to his tennis career ambitions. His game has been put on the back burner due to a recent knee injury putting him out of contesting the 2008 Australian Open. Albeit fixable there is talk he will pursue non-tennis activities. Is it time? Pete Sampras retired at 32 and Mark is now 31. Anyways, to Mark I wish him luck in 2008!

New Years Ever - Flinders Street Melbourne

A hectic buzz filled the air as a sea of bobbing heads filled St Kilda Road bridge and Flinders Street Melbourne. People came from all over, across the Yarra, down from Elizabeth, Queen and Swanston Street all vying for a central spot to watch the fireworks show due at the stroke of midnight - the birth of 2008!

My friends and I pushed through this crowd which seem to flow all the way to Federation Square - an excellent viewing spot for the festivities. Also anywhere along the Yarra riverbanks from Batman to Spencer would also be an advantage. Read the rest of this entry »
