Haute cuisine

I’m on a roll now with food.

Posted at Aussie Bloggers about great moments in Australian takeaway food.

Went to a blogger meet at Albion Park ** and tried the deep fried Mars Bar for dessert.

Now, I give you this ….

Oops - not shooting blanks

Posted by Ian in weird shit on June 30th, 2008

Open day at military barracks, you know, where they demonstrate all their weapons and other gadgets. I’ve been to a couple and they are quite interesting.

Near Carcassone in France on the weekend there was one such, and marines gave a demonstration of a hostage liberation exercise. Unfortunately their weapons were loaded with live ammunition rather than blanks. Result: 15 civilians and 2 soliders injured - 4 seriously, with 2 said to be critical.

One soldier had been detained, although no explanation was immediately forthcoming for why the wrong ammunition was loaded into weapons. A police spokesman said that investigators believed the deadly ammunition was loaded by mistake.

I wonder how long it took for the “oh shit, oh fuck” realisation to occur among the soldiers.
