    ‘Underwater scientists have called the search for MH370 a debacle and claim that Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s announcement that black box pingers had been found was premature and lacked detailed analysis.’

    Thailand’s army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha appointed himself acting prime minister and summoned 114 prominent political figures to a meeting, a day after seizing power in a bloodless coup that has sparked an international outcry.
    Thailand’s military government detained former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and members of her family after summoning her and other ministers for talks on Friday.
    “We have detained Yingluck, her sister and brother-in-law,” a senior military officer said. The two relatives have held top political posts.

    Thailand is quite untidy at the moment.

    It is simply outrageous that middle class royalists can oust a democratic government, and because it’s a middle class revolution, it will result in a lame, muted international response.

    It’s a lovely day tomorrow,
    Tomorrow is a lovely day,
    Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
    On tomorrow’s clear blue skies,
    If today your heart is weary,
    If every little thing looks gray,
    Just forget your troubles and learn to say,
    Tomorrow is a lovely day.

    5. This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about
    it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

    Rostrum is traditionally an open thread. But, hey, it’s Reb’s sandpit.

    I suspect you (and a few others here) would love me to fuck off – literally … but it is sreb’s, sandpit … luckily …

    And it is traditionally an open thread … well, the fkn title will tell you that … if you actually know what a “rostrum” is … and its history …

    Written words can confuse, ToSY, ’cause you get little or no NVCs … if you read what I wrote and place a different emphasis on “fuck off” … rather than your chosen 7th Cavalry charge to, egg’s rescue … you might read it differently* … to the way you want to see it …

    *Have I ever advocated that anyone fk off from here either forced or not …

    Maybe I don’t emanate from the refined and delicate background of your good self … but I’m sure people here that disagree with me don’t really need your help to “overcome” the trauma …

    BTW …

    During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, “How do you determine whether
    or not an older person should be put in an old age home?”
    “Well,” he said, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup
    and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub.”
    “Oh, I understand,” I said. “A normal person would use the bucket because
    it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”
    “No” he said. “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed
    near the window?”

    Your turn … tell a joke, sing a song, or drop yer knickers!

    My issue is with the bloke who races to the defence of anyone who plays silly bugger for the Abbott debacle he calls a government …

    In fact it wasn’t so long ago that ToSY told me I shouldn’t get involved in other people’s discussions here … hypocrisy much?

    SURFERS Paradise resident Bianca Freeman is claiming to have been attacked by a shark in the Nerang River, near the bridge to Chevron Island.
    Ms Freeman said the incident happened after she had been playfighting with friends and ended up in the water.
    … The last known shark attack to have occurred in Surfers Paradise is believed to have been on November 22, 1959

    55 years since a shark attack in Surfers!! It’s time to implement some protective measures.
