Saint in Paradise

There are some very dorky comments on there, must be from down the M27 I suppose.

Heaven help you if you return and any Maori have read this. :lol: We have been here 24 years now and I could never ever live in the U.K. again. I couldn't even be bothered to try and travel with my wife when she went back for 6 weeks in July. AFAIK us registered users can't make or receive P.M.s

You obviously don't read this board very much then do you? :lol: Why was the ITK sticky thread closed by St Chalet? Anyone know please? I am not stirring, I have only just noticed.

'Sir we can't arrest your cat': Man calls police after cat eats his bacon What would you do if you were craving a delicious piece of bacon and came home to find your cat had eaten it? This clearly furious man decided to call the police. In an emergency call released online the man can be heard explaining to the operator that his girlfriend fed his bacon to their cat and he was really unhappy about it. ““What would you like the police to do with regard to that, sir?” The operator asked. Clearly upset the man said he wanted to press charges. The operator calmly asked the man whether he was referring to his girlfriend or his cat. “Both of them,” he responded. The operator then had to explain to the man that a cat eating his bacon wasn’t a criminal offense and it definitely wasn’t an emergency. The man accepted this response and ends the call. https://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/29179835/sir-we-cant-arrest-your-cat-man-calls-police-after-cat-eats-his-bacon/ :lol:

That top picture reminds me of an old Saints shirt except of course Saints were red and white not green. ( I put that just in case some pedantic mentioned it is the wrong colour )

I have to say that whatever really happened it has resulted in a great loss of life which is very sad and upsetting for the relatives.:( However a conspiracy theory is much more exciting and fun than the real truth which can be very boring for those without any personal connections

I bet that there are quite a few of the few who will be very happy IF this is true.

Another case of posting on facebook can cause you severe grief. An Australian woman who lives in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates has just found this out. Jailed and fined for ''writing bad words on social media'', ABC reported. Jodi Magi, aged 39, posted a photo to Facebook she had taken of a car parked across two disabled parking spaces outside her apartment in Abu Dhabi. She blanked out the licence number and did not post any identifiable detail, according to the ABC's PM program on Monday night. But a complaint landed Ms Magi in an Abu Dhabi court, where she was found guilty of "writing bad words on social media about a person" and told she would be deported. http://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/australia/australian-woman-jailed-in-abu-dhabi-for-facebook-post/ar-AAcVYck .

I wonder if Blatter is just frightened of the F.B.I.? Cannot be called a snub surely as he has always presented the trophy since he became president. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33338097 .

http://www.abc.net.au/austory/ I don't know if this will play for you in the U.K. or not, it's a 30 minute video. Mark Webbers book is due out soon and I quote "Vettel has been given a heads up that there might be some carnage" Will be interesting to see.

That's a shame because a lot of N.Z. gang members aren't the brightest of people so I suspect the same applies to those in the U.S. as well. I suppose it should be filed in the same file with "pompey have paid all of their debts"

An L.A. gang member, Nazario Conchuza Gonzalez, who is part of the infamous Ms-13 gang, also called Mara Salvatrucha, has died of medical complications after attempting to gold plate his own genitals to celebrate his 17th anniversary. http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/l-a-gang-member-gold-plates-own-genitals-to-death/

Bromley, 49, drove roughly another 20 kilometres before he was alerted that something was wrong. The front windshield was smashed in, the bumper and front of the car dented and the roof of the car was peeled back, but despite all that damage Bromley said he remembers nothing and just kept on driving. 'He was buried with moose manure and his face was covered totally with blood.'- Tom Canning http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/man-from-conche-n-l-hits-moose-but-can-t-remember-it-1.3126446 .

It's shuttering more stores than it is opening this year. McDonald's is officially McDownsizing: According to the Associated Press, for the first time in over 40 years — or possibly ever — the number of McDonald's locations in America is shrinking. The struggling chain plans to close more restaurants this year than it plans to open, which the AP notes hasn't happened "since at least 1970." McDonald's has been suffering through slumping sales as consumers turn to chains like Chipotle for its higher quality food. In May, Easterbrook announced McDonald's plans to improve the perception of its food. To do this, the chain introduced items it labelled "artisanal," like a chicken sandwich. However, so far, not many people believe it's actually "artisan." Sounds like the person who came up with that name has never been to the West Country then "Arr tis anal" http://www.msn.com/en-nz/foodanddrink/foodnews/mcdonalds-is-downsizing-for-the-first-time-ever/ar-AAbOOBM

I realise that these are cars sold in Australia but I wonder IF any in the U.K. will also have the same fault and have to be recalled? Subaru is recalling more than 5000 of its latest Outback wagon and Liberty sedan models equipped with its “Eyesight” system that uses two cameras behind the windscreen to scan the road ahead. A statement from Subaru said: “The (Eyesight) system may not operate as intended in an emergency braking situation (where the driver has failed to apply the brake), or may fail to properly engage the brakes when the vehicle has been placed in (automatic cruise control) mode. This is due to a software programming issue.” Meanwhile Honda Australia is recalling more than 2000 examples of its latest Accord sedan and CR-V that are equipped with similar automatic emergency braking technology. Rather alarmingly, in the case of the Honda fault, the automatic braking system can be activated when it is not supposed to. “In rare cases, the system may interpret certain roadside objects, such as metal fences or guardrails, as obstacles and apply emergency braking.” The full story is here:- http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/subaru-and-honda-issue-recalls-for-faulty-aeb-tech-33243

Although this is in a Walmart store I wonder how long before it happens in the U.K. ? https://www.facebook.com/1573070736286689/videos/1602448823348880/ To me it doesn't look like that woman who leaped from the mobile scooter even really needs one.

Kenya plan for voluntary repatriation of 100,000 Somalis The Kenyan government plans to get 100,000 Somali refugees to return home voluntarily by the end of the year, AP quoted a government official as saying on Thursday. Officials have blamed refugee camps in Kenya for the rise in extremism in the country, and funding shortages have forced the UN to reduce food rations for the displaced. In April, Deputy President William Ruto gave the UN refugee agency three months to close Dadaab camp in Kenya’s east, where at least 300,000 Somali refugees live. Kenya wants the repatriation to be voluntary, as officials say most of Somalia has become peaceful due to the military operations by the African Union troops against the extremist insurgent group al-Shabab. Well what do you know.

IF the corrupt despots who run these countries had used the money given to them, over many many years,as aid for their people had actually done so there would not be this situation. Now I don't live in Europe anymore so I don't care what Europe does do BUT IMHO you are making the wrong decision helping the people smugglers. The more that are rescued the more that will be sent. The only cure is to stop rescuing people as when they realise they won't get help they will have no choice but to stay where they are.Make their Governments look after their own for once. They are purely economic "refugees" NOT political "refugees". I know a few might find this a little harsh but you reap what you sow. In 20 years,or perhaps even less it, will be no good moaning it will be too late. You are digging your own graves you are not really helping this situation.

Ah but at least it will mean some will have a wash.

Are some people so stupid??? No they are not from Portsmouth either. A lion leapt through a open car window and mauled to death an American tourist at a privately-run game park just outside Johannesburg, a park official said. The 22-year-old woman and another American tourist were travelling through the park, northwest of South Africa's biggest city, with their car windows open. The second tourist, a man, suffered serious injuries while trying to save the victim who was sitting in the car passenger seat. The incident is the latest in attacks at the park, which is popular with both locals and foreigners. In March, an Australian tourist was injured by a lioness after driving through the park with his car windows open. Two days later, a 13-year-old from a nearby slum was attacked by a cheetah while riding a bicycle through the grounds. According to its website, Lion Park guarantees "super close-up animal views" but it does order visitors to keep their car windows shut. https://nz.news.yahoo.com/world/a/28304095/lion-kills-american-tourist-in-south-african-park/ Oh yes and don't forget the geniuses who disappear when they go swimming in crocodile infested rivers in Australia. :mcinnes: .
