This would- be car thief would embarrass the Aussies of old and Sire himself...

They say Aussie was settled by convicts and their screws. You wouldn't know it by the behaviour of some their descendants. Make a good thief cry out with embarrassment!

Read about this one from Adelaide, South Australia recently.

A bumbling, bungling would be car thief accidently locked himself in the car he was trying to steal!

Police were called to the home of the car's owner and found the excuse for a car thief hiding inside.

Have to have a word with Adelaide's greatest blogger, Sire and see what he thinks of the whole pathetic charade.

An eerie parallel of two Air NZ crashes...

An eerie parallel of two Air New Zealand plane crashes...



Again the same sound - but thirty years later - eerie parallel of Air NZ crashes...

It was already a tragic coincidence: Two Air New Zealand aircraft crashing on the same November day - but thirty years apart.

Not only that but the last seconds of both aircrews were marked by the same screaming mechanical sound - "Terrain, terrain. Whoop, whoop. Pull up, pull up" - telling them they were about to hit the ground!

On November 28 1978, an Air NZ DC10 flew into the side or Mt Erebus in the Antarctic, killing all 257 passengers and crew onboard. This was New Zealand's worst air disaster that tarnished one of the best international safety records in world aviation at the time.

Thirty years later on Nov 27 in French time but a day later in New Zealand,an Air NZ Airbus A320 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea off the French coast killing all seven crew, including five New Zealanders.

A most tragic coincidence indeed!

Pushing cigarettes onto children in less developed countries...

Recently I watched a documentary on television concerning the efforts of international tobacco companies trying to find alternative markets for their filthy poisonous products by pushing them onto young children in less developed countries. Anti-smoking campaigns have been too successful in recent years in mainly white western countries. Now they want to use candy flavoured cigarettes too. Read below for some facts about smoking:


In May 2001, Dr. Thomas Novotny, assistant surgeon general of the United States, was in Geneva negotiating a global treaty on tobacco control when he got a late-night telephone call from Washington.

William Steiger, then an adviser to Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson, ordered Novotny to abandon positions on international tobacco control that had been staked out by US negotiators during the Clinton administration.

At the time, Novotny was formulating with 190 other nations the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) to reverse a big rise in cigarette smoking, especially among young people in less developed countries. The World Health Organization estimates that there will be a billion smoking-related deaths by the end of the 21st century. This is a death rate ten times greater than in the 20th century.
