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

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.
