    Ah, it was two levels, situated below a disused level. I probably never wondered what happened to platforms one and two. You just accept things as they are when you're young and perpetually pissed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wynyard_railway_station,_Sydney

    When I was young enough to be drunk 24/7, all of my dreams involved trains. I also had the subterranean rabbit warren of seedy bars, betting shops, tobacconists, watch repairers, clothing alterers etc. at Wynyard station as top-shelf nightmare fuel. The main concourse to the (IIRC) three levels of rail is on a slope, so you never really know how deep you are, and it branches off into a network of other dismal underground shopping arcades. You can surface hundreds of metres (and half a dozen beers) away from where you went in. For some of those cold, tiled nightmares I was (IIRC) awake, thinking "F**k. How am I going to get home in this state?"

    "I cannot imagine the cold courage it must take to be a Palestinian, walking in protest, unarmed, towards the fence that contains the agony of their long drawn-out genocide, in the knowledge that the bullets will start splintering bones and ripping out brain matter around them, and every millisecond could be their own last." #q Craig Murray http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/11991

    Ha. Apparently Churchill called Attlee "a sheep in sheep's clothing". Still not as good as Paul Keating's description of John Howard as "a shiver looking for a spine to run up".

      There Can Be Only One Sanders
      It is much more difficult to understand the news because of the regular references to "Sanders" when it is not immediately clear which one.

    Made a kicking chilli con carne for the first time in years. Now I have meat guilt. Should have put in more beans and some capsicum. I'm a 'third way' vegetarian.

    Third shift in a row canceled! Less than half an hour's notice. Think I'll have to wash this shirt anyway, since I've put it on and taken it off so many times this week. #work

    The gluten-free mercury substitute has dipped to 13℃. Looking for a jumper - holy cow! - found the motherlode of old #Almatech wear, and a string of about five consecutive year-dated #SoftwareFreedomDay t-shirts, among other curios. That's my obscurely-branded nightwear needs satisfied for a decade!
