Farnsey shrine
Just got back from a one week seminar in Melbourne on "improving efficiency in the public service". 200 people from our department spent Thursday to Monday hard at it, from 9:30am to 4:30pm except for the weekend and the 3:00pm finish on Friday.
The coffee was more extravagant that I was used to - they splashed out on the Black and Gold home brand rather that standard Caterer's Blend.
Other that that, we heard some great talks on how to efficiently empty the stationery cupboard, how to study part time while working and how to maximise expense claims.
The highlight for me was the pilgrimage to the Farnsey statue at Docklands. There is an empty space where the Graham Kennedy statue used to be, but fortunately, the thieves decided to leave the great man behind.
Someone had defaced Farnsey by putting old chewing gum in his mouth. I carefully removed it all, stood back and admired "The Voice" for a few hours and then returned to the seminar.
Just in time for afternoon tea.

What flavour was the chewing gum?
Maybe you can stand where Graham Kennedy once did & you can both chew gum. Maybe have a bubble blowing competition!
