Mr Buzzy - you are so right. I don't know of anyone who properly reads those bull$#!t SYD taxiway Notams. Too many, too convoluted, too hard, too little time. One day something important will be missed. No matter, blame the Captain.
I had to laugh the other day also. Went on a little o/s holiday to an island in the Pacific where everyone says "Wee Wee". After transferring from the SYD domestic to the international I was amazed at the amount of construction going on. (What is that hole just past transit security screening going to be - a swimming pool??). And it's ALL for more bloody shops. But being Australia, with the Australian work ethic sense-of-urgency showing, nothing's ready for Christmas of course! So they've taken to setting up the new "shops" along the walls of the construction sites! Got to get a few extra Xmas dollars rolling into the Macquarie coffers, probably to pay for the MQG bonuses and redundancies!
Sydney, gotta love it. Not.
