It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

Okay, what you will probably need is route 390, which goes from Brisbane central to Gaythorne Station, through Enoggera:

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

If anyone is in the Brisbane CBD, and they don�t want to go to the Roma St Transit Centre. Than an alternative, is to take bus 39 (route 390 city to Mitchelton) from Adelaide St, opposite David Jones.

Cheers

Take care, dance and all the best
