4:20 QANTAS' reputation as the most reliable and safe airline in the world was irreparably damaged during the tenure of their last CEO, Ziggy Stardust, or whatever his name was. He gutted the airline for shareholder profits and personal bonuses. It's a damned shame. We also had another major airline in Australia called Ansett. Unfortunately, they entered into a business contract with Air New Zealand, which led to the complete collapse of Ansett, the only real competitor to QANTAS in Australia.

Keen to watch. Oh, and I think I'm first? EDIT at 15:10 This has been really cool. I know of some of these places, but I'm surprised I had never heard of others. Well worth a Livestream or series of videos.

17:30 Wow! I like that idea. (This is not spam...honest) I have bought a whole heap of products from 'Coconut Bowls' recently. I bought a small sample pack first to see what the quality was like and then decided to order enough bowls, cutlery, and bamboo straws to send to all my rellies and friends. I know this isn't related to the restaurant giveaway thing, but the company has worked with locals to produce beautiful, inexpensive, sustainable bowls, cups and other products. Sorry, I know it is a tangent, but these bowls and stuff are awesome.

11:08 This is on my 'get there one day' list. You young folk may refer to it as a bucket list LOL. I too have been a dabbler in photography since I was a kid and was given a KODAK Instamatic camera and a box of flashes.

3:35 Do you folks have 'Windy Loos' in the US? They are composting public toilets that are set up in remote places where septic or sewerage is impractical, due to potential flooding etc. They are made with corrugated iron in an almost Fibonacci curve, or a Nautilus shell on its side. The design helps to reduce the footprint while maintaining privacy, as well as to catch breezes to keep the toilet ventilated. I've seen and used many 'Up North', and have them pronounced as 'Windy Loos' (like as in the wind), and 'Windy Loos' (like a winding path). They are cheap to construct and are very environmentally friendly.

@Duchess_of_Cadishead I remember back then, talking to Ansett Ground Crew (I worked for Ansett Air Freight). There were rumblings about Air New Zealand using Ansett's accounts for fueling their aircraft.
