This will be my final entry as a traveler in Australia. In three days, it will be my last with VirginMobile (God Bless their 'you are on hold' soul). I will then spend the following six saying my goodbyes Ozzy-style. It will cost me my money, but it has to be done, for the greater good, for the greater good. This brings me to the ninth (I wish they'd included the 'e' in that word) of June when I fly to Brisbane, whoohoo! another city. I'm staying with a couple wh...

I've gone green, in Sydney now, selling eco-friendly electricity over the phone, except no one wants it, which I've learnt is usually the case, but I don't understand, why wouldn't you want to switch over to a company that guarantees a percentage of your home's power comes from a renewable source??!
