I got this in an e-mail this arvo

I wouldn't normally send on this sort of scare-mongering but this
comes from a very reliable source and the warning is genuine/

Yesterday a friend of mine was travelling on a train to Penrith.

A man of Middle eastern appearance got off the train and my friend
noticed that he had left his bag behind.

He grabbed the bag and ran after him, caught up
with him in the station and handed him back his bag.
He was extremely grateful, he looked around to make sure nobody
was looking and whispered

"I can never repay your kindness, but I will try to....with a word of
advice for you: Stay away from Lithgow."

My friend was genuinely terrified. "Is ther going to be a terrorist
attack?".








"No...", he whispered back....."It's a shit hole."

Could see that coming. :)

As could I.

In second year university ( and I'll refrain from identifying the particular pre gulf war 1 year that it was), I was sitting next to a girl at dinner, (I was in Goldstein), and asked where she was from.

reply was "Lithgow...not the arsehole of the universe, but you can see it from there..that's Wallerawang".

A few years later, I lived in Lithgow.

A few years after that, I worked at Wallerawang.

....A Witch she must have been.

Her boyfriend at the time went missing in Eastern Europe, and it was found that he'd allowed the russians to carry out medical experiments on his person for money.
 
Did you hear them tonight? The Poms aren't pulling out, they're just reducing their commitment. The day after Cheney asked us to send more guys.
I read that they are....half in a few weeks, the rest by Christmas.

Little Johnny looks like being even more isolated - not that he gives a fuck. Someone MUST have some pic of him in fishnets with a whip stuck up his ass or something....you just never know where the Mossad will crop up!!

Surely blackmail is the only explanation for his bizarro world decisions. :loco:

Poms aren't pulling out, just reducing their commitment.
We're not increasing troops, just sending over more trainers.
