When in Scotland
Speaking of visiting Scotland to sample whisky – refer to my last post – you might want to avoid staying at the Rosebank Guest House in Perth *. The owner apparently gets his jollies by secretly filming guests having sex and then watching it out in his shed in the backyard. He allegedly used tiny [...]
Just a smidgeon of an over-reaction?
You go down to the local hardware store to buy a few tools. As you leave the store, one of the staff asks to see your receipt for the stuff you’re walking out with. Fair enough, you show it to them and everyone’s happy and you’re on your way, right? Well that’s not how it [...]
Things you should not facebook
I think this is a no brainer, and I suspect that was the problem with the dumb turd of a criminal who did it, no brain! He robs a store in Ipswich, Queensland, and makes his getaway with his girlfriend. Then heads for Canberra. But he was thoughtful to his friends, and updated his Facebook [...]
I suspect this kid is better off without dad
Dwayne Lamont Moten, a 20 year old man from Dallas, Texas, wanted custody of his 3 year old boy, Dwayne Junior. But rather than take his ex-wife to court and argue the merits of his case he came up with a better plan. He hired a friend to shoot him, intending to blame the crime [...]
More stupid drunken antics
The things people do when pissed amuse me. There’s been blokes who’ve cut their balls off, set them on fire and all sorts of shit like that. And now, here’s another entrant to the drunken stupidity hall of fame. A man in Broome, Western Australia, got kicked out of the pub. At a loose end, [...]
Motherly love
Imagine you found yourself in this situation. You have a 15 year old daughter. Your husband, the girl’s stepfather is sleeping in the same bed as her. In fact they have been doing this for the best part of a month. He tells you that he and the girl are “getting closer” and “have developed [...]
Making shit up as you go
That’s what the proposal to have an offshore refugee processing facility in East Timor looks to have been. Something our new prime minister, the ranga queen, Julia Gillard, made up the other day as a response to political pressure to do something about the problem of asylum seekers illegally entering Australia by boat. East Timor’s [...]
M&M’s, or should that be E&E’s?
It could be one of those only in Tasmania stories. Dwayne Grant Seabourne of Devonport may well be the world’s dumbest drug dealer. He travelled from Tasmania to buy some ecstacy, paying $6,000 for 400 pills. When intercepted by police at Launceston airport, Seabourne admitted to having bought drugs and handed over a cylinder wrapped [...]
Yep, it does hurt
Two Victorian men were having a Sunday afternoon drinking session in one of their sheds. Obviously bored with that, they decided to have a bit of educational fun, that is, to shoot each other in the arse with an air rifle to see if it hurt. Fine, they thought, it didn’t really hurt. However, two [...]
Things really are blue at Virgin Blue
Following on from the sacking of a number of employees at the airline Virgin Blue for viewing and sharing pornography at work, some of those employees are now appealing against their termination of employment on the grounds of unfair dismissal. Sharing pornography has been commonplace in the offices and staff rooms of Virgin Blue for [...]
