This is a public service announcement for people who discuss aviation. It is "Malaysia Airlines" and NOT "Malaysian Airlines". Can you tell the difference?

Referring to it as Malaysian Airlines on your website doesn’t do much for your aviation credibility, especially considering the correct spelling is in the logo! Ditto for Qantas. Don’t worry, even high profile sites like Dynamic Business Australia are guilty of it.

What I love about Twitter is the spontaneousness (is that a word?) of random discussions about virtually anything. Today @oliyoung, @chimpocalypse and I were responding to the South Aussie government’s ambitious road plans by taking about high speed rail and how Australia desperately needs it.

The sporadic memories and bottled water episode!

You’ve joined me at a tremendously exciting moment; unabashedly ripping off IntoYourHead; microwaving coffee after I said you shouldn’t; Family Guy; Germans can make better Christmas food than the French; family trip to Europe in 1998; asking for the bathroom with sign language; Frankfurt am Main; time speeding up as you get older; Melbourne since 1990; remembering primary school; flag carriers and whatnot; Tom Keene talking about ridiculously expensive bottled water with David Zetland on Bloomberg on the Economy; the political compass thingy; and a Paul Shaffer smoke alarm!

UPDATE: The date for this episode has been fixed to show 2009 instead of 2008 after I received a smartarse comment ;-)
