  1. Woolies are doing away with in-store butchers in many stores, our local one included. Now we have to buy prepacked meat in plastic trays. Our large recycling bin is half filled with these meat trays every week. Worse than plastic bottles, because they are more difficult to crush, or they just spring back.

    Looks a lot like a ' flying saucer ' to me , as the ' space-station ' is very irregular in shape .

    Are you looking at the moon, or the tiny speck at the end of the red arrow? Here is another shot enlarged even more.

  3. I know these are not fake - I took them myself with my Lumix camera, from my front driveway. In the long shot you can just see a small white speck near the bottom of the moon. I have no idea what it is, I summised it could be the International Space Station, or some other space junk. The zoom shot shows it more clearly. Click to enlarge.

  4. Melbourne's Citylink tunnels are being fitted with bands of lighting which move along the tunnel at the speed limit in the hope that it will keep drivers at the speed limit. The speed can be remotely controlled to slow down the traffic in the event of a collision or other hazard.

  5. Always wear underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle. From the local paper comes this story of a Brisbane couple who drove their car to ALDI, only to have their car break down in the car park. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car.

     

    The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of hairy legs protruding from under the chassis.

     

    Unfortunately, although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned his private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward and quickly put her hand up his shorts, and tucked everything back into place.

     

    On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by watching.

     

    The R.A.C.Q. mechanic however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

  6. They're always on and on about going green - get rid of plastics. We were green before plastic bags.

    When I was in high school, my Dad brought home an ex-prisoner and gave him a room in a bungalow attatched to the garage. He taught my siblings and I how to weave baskets like the one below, with a 3-ply wooden base.
