Just heard on the radio that today is International Men's Day, so here's to us, Fella's


Could it be a coincidence that it is World Toilet Day as well ?

cause of death - I thought nothing could stop that heart!

Quote
New Zealand rugby legend Jonah Lomu died from cardiac arrest related to his kidney condition, family spokesman and former All Blacks coach John Hart said.

At a press conference to announce funeral and ceremonial arrangements for Lomu, who died overnight on Tuesday, Hart revealed that Lomu's widow Nadene was struggling to come to grips with the sudden loss just a day after arriving back from Dubai following the Rugby World Cup in England.

Yeah, we got evacuated from SeaWorld Resort today. I watched it come over to the resort and it got very close. Not good to see Police and Fireys at the front entrance. They got in under control pretty quickly.

man, you're just Mr Adventure. Having said that, no need to fly to the GC to see fire and smell smoke on your doorstep. Unless of course you flew up for a training exercise to prepare for this Summer;D

Hope everyone is safe.

Yeah all safe, it was lucky I was at the Resort at the time as I was able to jump in the hire car, drive out and pick up the wife & son who were at SeaWorld itself. We high tailed it to MovieWorld and stayed there for the rest of the day, the others were stuck in the SeaWorld car park in 32+ heat for the afternoon.

Honestly what the **** is wrong with people these days??? There seems to be more and more of this Shit happening..
Is it due to the fact of children having children and no clue what to do - how many 15yr olds are ready for parenthood??? Drugs? Piss? people are just ****ed?

Unfortunately mental health is also a major factor in many cases.(I dont know details of these cases)
It is a major health problem critically under funded and it all too quickly falls off the radar when it is highlighted.
You'd be surprised by the numbers affected. No longer supported in mental hospitals and secure facilities, many are living unsupported amongst the community.
Theres no votes in mental health care and thus gets little funding.
The public see more priorities in having sporting facilities and public transport.

But yes your right, theres also an alarming number of people who use drinking and drugs as an excuse.
Its not an excuse, its the reason they did unspeakable crimes. As such they need to face real punishment, not these weak sentences dished out all the time.
The weak judiciary sentencing is part reason for the growing crime. There is no fear of the punishment, if any that is dished out. And it starts from young learning that even though they are the criminal, that in some perverse way their rights are equal to or sometimes even greater than their victims.

Almost did the same thing out at Ayres Rock one night...came back to Curtain Springs after watching the sunset over the Rock. Just before reaching Curtain Springs I noticed these things all along the edge of the road as I shot past at 100kph...turned out to be black cattle everywhere, was just plain lucky none were in the middle of the road
