Yeah, I've read your posts, Mick. Apparently our dear host is no real Aussie. Maybe he's been a closet Canadian all his life... They claim to like beer, but they still make that Molson's stuff.

But from the upvotes I suspect at least two people have solved it.
The answer is BURGER KING.

Burger King is not Spam. Spam has too much meat in it be used by Burger King.

I actually do that 
|
|
|
|

And it does make sense. Because "one-way" obviously isn't a concept understandable by everyone
(Besides: Cyclists usually are eligible to use a one-way street in both directions)
|
|
|
|
|
but seriously though, I will not put my life into the hands of a complete stranger hoping (s)he knows the one-way street concept.
Look at it as "defensive programming"

So do I, after I was hit by a Japanese tourist riding his bike the wrong way down a two way road in Cambridge...

just for my piece of mind, just how do you travel the "wrong way" down a two way road? is it a Japanse thing?
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

This may help: In Japan people travel on the left side of the road.
|
|
|
|

they do that in cambridge too, it's the proper side

He was cycling against the traffic on his side of the road right up against the pavement.
I have seen a few dunderheads doing that in Cambridge.

Actually, that's anyone who has been to Italy and survived...

I went to looking up quotes and I noticed where language was called out PHP and Perl are explicitly mentioned in derogatory sense, much the way COBOL was many years ago.
---
On a different note the two quotes though that I thought were the funniest were;
"It should be noted that no ethically -trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter."

Reminds me of a classic "Top Tip" in the Viz. It started with:
Save time when crossing a one-way street by only looking one way.
- John Smith, Crawley
On the next page, they had:
Always look both ways when crossing a one-way street, in case a blue furniture van is reversing.
- John Smith, Crawley Hospital
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
- Homer

Being a paranoid motorcyclist, I now look both ways twice all the time.
