Went to Rosie and George's cd launch last night in Northcote. We didn't allow a lot of time to get there and we were pushing it to make it on time. Of course parking was at a premium. Finally half way down a side street there was a small parrallel car park. We decided to give it a go. Did really well and parked the car first time. Only small hitch was that the front and back left hand wheels were up on the footpath. We called it creative parking and left it there. That reminded me of the time several years ago when I went into the city with Pauline. Again the car space wasn't much longer than the car and it was the only one we could find. As Pauline parked she lightly bumped the car behind her and as she drove forward to straighten she bumped the car in front as well. When she got out of the car she realised that there was an elderly gentleman sitting on a park bench next to the footpath watching her. Pauline didn't blink and eye. As she walked past the gentleman she looked briefly in his direction and said 'touch parking'.
