Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Central station in Sydney, leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a large pla...

That is the best course of action, move on. Decided to do the waterfalls and found 5 to see and photograph, starting with Malanda Falls. Moving...

Hi Listers, It is my sad duty to report the failure of the Collingwood FC to advance in the 2013 finals in the AFL. The coach, Nathan Buckley, said in his post match appearance on TV, "that we have a culture problem" I would venture to say that there is a lot more to this than a culture problem. I t...

She's chatting it up with St. Peter at the Pearly Gates when all of a sudden she hears the most awful, blood curdling screams.

Hi all,, Having just read the listing from Milo regarding the rebirth of his airline, I went on to the Wikepedia site for the Cessna 208b. They list all the airlines that have these airplanes but, Milo, your outfit is nowhere to be seen!!!! I trust that you will correct this oversight forthwith.
