There's a very amusing ad campaign running on TransPerth trains and buses at the moment, it involves re-written versions of famous nursery rhymes, targeting specific issues that annoy regular users of public transport. For example, there are ads that cover topics such as people not allowing others to leave the train before they push their [...]
After all the waiting, the build up, the stories about South Africa being behind schedule and all that other usual stuff, today will see the official start to the FIFA World Cup 2010, and the curtain raiser between the hosts and Mexico.
