The first landing in Sydney was not a great success. Coming in to land the A340-500 overshot the taxiway off the main 34-left runway and the aircraft had to potter along to the end of the runway before turning in towards the international terminal. Poor Sydney Airport aircraft controller inadvertently left his microphone open and was heard to say. "Bloody hell. Here it comes, another bloody Sunday driver". Perhaps he was not amused? Another comment was. "Where the hell is he going, the Opera House?"
