The entrance to Radio Station 2CC studios at Mitchell
If you ever have cause to visit the office/studios of Radio Station 2CC
in Canberra, you may find these photos useful for locating
the rather unobtrusive entrance.

Entrance to 2CC studios
Radio Station 2CC is supposed to be located at 52 Hoskins Street, Mitchell, but there's no sign
of it from here !
There's "Gracious Living" on the left, and "Capital Carpet Sales" on the right.
Above Capital Carpet Sales, there's a sign that says "1053 2CA". Does that have anything
to do with Radio Station 2CC ???
On closer inspection, we see a door that appears to be built into the "Gracious Living"
unit.
The door has a round "Capital" sign on it. Could this be the entrance to Radio Station 2CC ??
Further investigation reveals that the round "Capital" sign also includes
the words "Radio Network
Capital Radio Network ? This may have something to do with Radio
Station 2CC !!
A close inspection of the A4 sized sheet of paper stuck on the door,
reveals a small 2CC logo on the top left-hand corner
At last ! The entrance to Radio Station 2CC has finally been located !
Too bad it didn't occur to them to put a large 2CC sign on the door.
Apparently patrons and visitors are supposed to know that Radio
Station 2CC is part of the Capital Radio Network which (according
to the sheet of paper on the door) also operate a radio station
called "1053 2CA" !

Zoot - "I'm a polymorph and you're a polyester".
Quote by "Zoot" the polymorphic space-suit in My Favourite
Martian (the movie) -
"This is crazy. I'm a polymorph and you're a polyester.
Yes, you're synthetic, but I like that in a girl".
Said by Uncle Martin's animated space suit (Zoot) to
a size 6 polyester dress inside the "Back to the Beach"
clothes store in Santa Barbara (in the 1999 movie My
Favorite Martian).
The movie is based on the TV series My Favorite
Martian (1963-1966) and features Christopher Lloyd
as Uncle Martian and Jeff Daniels as Tim O'Hara.
The voice of "Zoot" is provided by Wayne Knight
(of Seinfeld and Jarassic Park).
