Won’t somebody please think of the children?
Some devious perverts in the confectionary industry are polluting childrens’ minds with pornography on their lolly packaging. Claims have been made that the fruit figures that appear on Haribo MAOAM sour candies are engaging in sex acts. Simon Simpkins of West Yorkshire was buying the lollies for his children when he noticed the "pornographic" illustrations [...]
Solving traffic problems
I thought this was both ingenious and damn funny. Residents of a street in the Sydney suburb of Beecroft were tired of hundreds of cars using their small street each morning during peak hour on a rat run to avoid clogged Beecroft Road. So one day, a sign appeared, stating "no left turn" was permitted [...]
How to sell – Seoul style
Saw this guy selling bras and undies in the Namdaemun markets in Seoul. He was doing a very brisk trade with the ladies. Technorati tags: Seoul, Namdaemun market
Congratulations England
Well done on winning the Ashes cricket series! I had thought Australia winning the 4th test at Headingley convincingly and levelling the series 1-1 would be enough for us to retain them, but it was always going to be a struggle in this last game after Australia batted so poorly in the 1st innings. While [...]
Korea bound
I’m on a plane most of today, heading for Seoul in Korea, where I’ll be working for the rest of the week. I will have the weekend and Monday to do some sightseeing before I head home on Monday night next week. I’ll even get out of Seoul for a day on the weekend, as [...]
Ugly parents at the kids sport
There’s definitely no shortage of stories about ugly parents carrying on like dickheads at their kids’ weekend sports, be it football, cricket, netball or whatever. However, I’ve got to say that this one just about takes out the ugly championship for parenting. This father: ASSAULTED one parent and threatened others; HAD to be paid thousands [...]
If you’re going to cheat, at least try to be subtle about it
For example, no-one will believe it if you win an election with 100% of the votes, even if you’re in North Korea and your name is Kim Jong-il. But in Papua New Guinea, the election of Transport Minister, Don Polye, to his seat in the national parliament, with 100% of the votes, was successfully challenged [...]
Runs in the family
Murder, that is! In June last year a Cowra man murdered his wife and 2 grandchildren. He stabbed his wife and hit her on the back of the head with a hammer. When police interviewed him he described the hammer with pride, affectionately referring to it as ”Fred”. According to a report prepared by a [...]

The application, FoodWatch NSW, brings the Food Authority’s name-and-shame list to your fingertips by using the iPhone’s GPS to show you a list of restaurants near your location that have [...]
Handling unwanted advances
A Greek woman has shown the way. At a nightclub in the Greek resort of Mallia, a drunken 20 year old English man was behaving like a dickhead, in particular by dropping his pants and waving his genitals at a number of women. He then targeted the 26-year-old Greek woman, Marina Fanouraki "forcefully fondling" her [...]
