If they throw out the bricks but dont order a replacement, put them in the Q-Store.

Should be in your email inbox. I think the last TSM sent it around.

Lets reform the british empire. ;) Your suggestion does have merit though. NATO is at real risk of making itself irrelevant like the UN has done.

That is correct. We are not, but we seem to offer more support to NATO operations than many of NATOs own members do.

Cars becoming affordable in india? Move to the hills and watch the snow melt with all that CO2... The kidnapping in china is not a rarity unfortunately, and is usually done in rural areas, with the full support of the kidnappers family. I watched a documentary on one such girl being rescued...

I'd negotiate a bigger share than that. Tell him that there are a few of us willing to help but we'll all require payment

Yep. The outside tap will get clogged with fur by the koala's automated fuel theft prevention system as was pointed out, so you use it as a decoy and put another tap inside it.

Duh. You put the tap on the inside of the tap. That's where the fuel is.

The 'diesel' bit was about their rather flammable diet. Eucalyptus has a very low nutritional value, and nothing else that I know of eats it except insects. The digestion of it creates alcohol and oil. Maybe we can tap them and have koala fueled cars?

A hockey helmet will not save you from a Drop Bear as we do not play ice hockey in Australia due to water often failing to freeze at 30 degrees celcius. Hence the sheer ludicrous state of affairs will cause aforementioned helmet to self combust during drop bear attack. Drop bears are well aware...

:rofl:

Drop Bears are NOT EXTINCT! I love the reference to koala's food being 'diesel fuel' though.

Koalas don't live in alpine areas, as the type of eucalypt they eat doesn't grow there. So no 'snow' animal is going to scare them. I don't know the exact type, but its the most common crappy oil laden fire hazard type that they eat. Not the redgums or snowgums.

That was cane toads, which did actually happen. Brought in from hawaii by someone who reeeeaaally didn't do his homework.

I haven't heard of it, but it wouldn't surprise me. Eucalyptus is all they eat, and it ferments. They sleep roughly 20 hours a day because of it. So you've effectively got an animal full of alcohol and oil. It's a good thing they are generally slow moving unless on open ground (which they...

No kidding. I'm not sure many tourists actually realise the damage they can do. Every time I've seen tourists allowed to handle one, the keepers have put 'gloves' over the koalas paws to stop the otherwise inevitable claw insertion. Frigging drop bears on the other hand are an absolute menace...

The second suspect has been released.

Me too. You don't get investigated for terrorism here unless something is very wrong with what you are doing.

Hale didn't put the blame on anyone. Just stating a possibility, and was not being unreasonable at all in doing so. The only person who knows what happenned for real is the soldier behind the gun, and I'd hate to have to live with what happenned like he now will.

On 3AW this morning, the news was that they have until tomorrow night to formally charge him or release him. Given that the UK will want to extradite, I really hope it's the former.
