What did I say? :confused

There was a fried chicken shop there called Ben's Chicken, was not part of a chain. Famous all over Sidney! Any drunk that exits the Bondi hotel would find his way there at night. Owner had a secret recipe for the fried chicken, lovely. Wife used to work there, and brought home many a chicken meal for hungry me! :D

i don't remember a chicken shop, but i'm not really that observant, plus it was too cold to go to bondi to swim because it was winter, plus i was focused on those sng's

Fortunately the trains run on that middle line - the near line is just used for stabling stock.

Id imagine the caravan belongs to one of the volunteers on the railway as its on the edge of a grubby area and had the coal stacks nearby, so wouldnt be used much when the trains are actually running. :D

Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to take a picture in the taxi, but i thought i'd mention it anyway.

I was just in a taxi from LAX to Marina Del Rey (L.A.) and about 5 minutes from the airport I saw the biggest array of dishes I've ever seen. Countless number of huge dishes, including BT and directtv branded ones. But the one that caught my eye, was a massive curved rectangular dish, that clearly had 20/30 or so LNBs on it.:-worship

I had a google and it seems to be the directtv uplink site: http://www.tallguide.com/uplink.html
You can see the big dish that caught my eye in the photo.

The first one in this section was bolted to the top of a shower block at the village football ground (no grass - a dirt surface)
