Concerningly, Dementia which was supposedly an elderly condition, now affects the youth at an alarming rate. Same with Alzhiemers.

Yes, one of the personal stories in the paper was about a man who developed it in his late 40s

In Japan those people switch their backpacks to the front. Don't even need to be told or have signs everywhere asking them to do so. People with bigger bags use overhead racks that are in most trains.

But then again that's Japan, no chance of it happening here.

Its a basic respect thing. And manners. I am at hong kong many times a year. a delight travelling by train/metro. quiet carriages are honoured, people give up seats for needy.

In aus? do that and kids laugh at you. its not cool to do that. and its been like that for forever and a day. So cant blame foreigners and them immigants.

The deterioration is sad, but the unpredictability is so hard to manage.

Walder Frey as Ricky Gervais' dad in After Life portrays it well.

This item from today’s paper is just a small example of the Think Again campaign that The Australian newspaper has been running for a few months now, to raise awareness of dementia and associated conditions, with all kinds of information.

Baggage screening at airports. Inconsistent rules, long delays, stupid people and staff that are rude and unhelpful. Canberra is the worst, ten times the staffing of other airports but staff do nothing to help customers or eachother - just get in the way and collect a pay packet but I guess that is true of 90% of Canberra "workers "

Sydney is a beauty. They will tell you one thing and the next person something else, so they can scream at both of you.

Airports like carparks, shopping centres etc. are one of those places where people forget how to function in a society.

Airport rules also say spirits before midday is acceptable so the place does have it's up side.

If you have never worked FIFO in WA or one of the other Dale dug a hole states, it's an enlightening experience to get on a flight that is either directly to a mine site or goes to a regional centre and basically services one.

People get on according to their allocated seat if they have one or form an orderly queue if they don't. Most people don't have a lot of carry on because they don't need it so they aren't stuffing giant suitcases above your head 5 rows from their seat. When the plane lands nothing happens. People just stay in their seats until the plan taxis to the arrival gate and the captain tells them to get off. And then they disembark in rows based on where the doors are. It's like being in Japan or Germany if everyone had neck tatts.
