USA JAIL - SOME INTERESTING READING I would vote for this man and set him up in the UK Australia or in fact everywhere. as well. USA JAIL - SOME INTERESTING READING TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF ( ARIZONA ) AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. These are some of the reasons why: Sheriff Joe Arpaio created the 'tent city jail' to save Arizona from spending tens of millions of dollars on another expensive prison complex. He has jail meals down to 20 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them. He banned smoking and pornographic magazines in the jails, and took away their weightlifting equipment and cut off all but 'G' movies. He says: 'They're in jail to pay a debt to society not to build muscles so they can assault innocent people when they leave.' He started chain gangs to use the inmates to do free work on county and city projects and save taxpayer's money. Then he started chain gangs...

Have your hanky at the ready before reading this. 'Rain from nowhere' by Murray Hartin The much requested poem about the drought and the struggle many of our farmers are facing. This poem was submitted to the program by a listener, Murray Hartin. It's both a beautiful and a sad piece that reflects with brutal honesty the situation many outback Australian farmers are facing today. Rain from nowhere By Murray Hartin. His cattle didn't get a bid, they were fairly bloody poor, What was he going to do? He couldn't feed them anymore,The dams were all but dry, hay was thirteen bucks a bale, Last month's talk of rain was just a fairytale. His credit had run out, no chance to pay what's owed, Bad thoughts ran through his head as he drove down Gully Road, ‘Geez, great grandad bought the place back in 1898, Now I'm such a useless bastard, I'll have to shut the gate.’‘Can't support my wife and kids, not like dad and those before, Christ, Grandma ...

When you have to visit a public toilet, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the cubicle doors. Every cubicle is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the cubicle. You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern 'seat covers' (invented by someone's Mum, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your bag on the door hook, if there was one, so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mum would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!) down with your pants and assume ' The Stance. In this position, your aging, toneless, thigh muscles begin to shake. You'd love to sit down, but having not taken time to wipe the seat or to lay toilet paper on it, you hold 'The Stance.' To take your mind off y...

There is that old saying what ever it was; that , friends are more reliable than relatives . So a spade being a spade and I don't give a stuff who I offend, I shall promulgate a list of those who sent congratulations for our fifty fith Anniversary and not those who didn't. Bearing in mind that, my wife and I rarely fail to communicate regularly or send Gold, Frankincense or Myrrh to our deserving relatives on the two major gift giving days of the year, I find it pathetic and offensive that not one single card or communication was received from any of our relatives, other than verbal congrats from two granddaughters and two sons. My main reason for this tirade is simply that my Wife Rosemary - the Matriarch of our family who bends over backwards to maintain the Status Quo within the tribe deserves better than this, although Rosemary and I have never been afforded the privilege to send a significant marriage time frame congratulatory message beyond(Wood- Five Years) to any of our...

Tomorrow, the twentieth day of June 2008 Vest and his darling lady will be celebrating their 55th Wedding Anniversary. It is expected that, this will be a low key affair as very little info has infiltrated to vests agents from MI,6, Mossad the CIA, KGB or the Mafia with regard to any planned festivity. In the past, costing of an account draining thingy like bringing the family together for any particular reason was borne by yours truly, and hardly likely to be changed during this period of fiscal downturn which will be used as an excuse not to push the boat out or change family tradition; so to speak. That being the case I have decided that our resources will be better used for our own personal indulgence. I expect we shall pop down to the club for a skinful, have a kiss and cuddle and that will be about it, However, if by chance I am able to relate something differing to what is expected, I shall let you know Below is an account of the celebration five years ago, some names of fr...

ONE of my hobbies includes the growing of exotic and expensive vegetables, mainly for our own family use. However, one not too exotic and easy to grow veg is the Oriental Radish, its flesh is not as pungent to the taste as the smaller red & white up to 60mm variety and they tend to mature quickly within a period of 8 to 10 weeks. According to the legend on the seed packet, these Oriental Radishes will grow to a length of 30cm and attain a diametor of 45mm which I am able to confirm; although some of these only attain runt size about that of a large carrot. At the present time there will be at least two weeks to wait for the next crop to reach maturity.On Tuesday June 3, Rosemary and I went shopping(pain in the arse and aching limbs from walking on those hard sup/mark floors), after our reg stop at the grog shop our last port of call was the massive (feast your eyes) on the largest variety of fruit vegies known to mankind storeAthough the consumption of animals various still forms p...

Vest said... Went to club last night with er indoors, sat with Johnnie Walker listening to bang clang band,lots of young chicks and roosters jockeying for a trundle in the nest box, but mostly old boilers like us. Lost forty bucks on keno and pokies went back to the igloo turned up the heat then sat with Jack Daniels watching the 20-20 and the barmy army cheer on the poms to a nine wicket win over the black caps with three overs to spare. Out of bed at 9:20am to shoo off a group of seven day wonders, was scolded by the neighbours for using the F word. Went back to bed, two mins later 'ring-ring' avon lady calls; er indoors is out shopping, the anti ageing creams and lotions cost me $49-50,,, a tub of lard would have been cheaper and could be more effective. Married 55 years next Friday. love is an enduring thing. VEST. 1045:am doorbell again. Lady and Gent inform us that they are the owners of 'Barney' who live a .5 kl distance away in a different street, and so the s...

THEY oppose kids keeping goldfish. They oppose people riding horses. They even oppose blind people using guide dogs. But who would have thought that some so-called animal rights groups would end up promoting animal cruelty? Back off PETA!! That is exactly what has happened with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal (PETA) protests calling for an immediate ban to mulesing. It is not the first time this organisation has been on the absurd side of an argument. The reason for mulesing is simple - it prevents the sheep from being killed by flesh-eating maggots. Our merino sheep were developed through selective breeding, some time around 1870 - about the same time the blowfly made it here from South Africa. The folds in the breach of the merino's skin together with the introduction of the blowfly became a lethal combination, creating a new disease: flystrike, where the folds in the skin become infested with maggots and the sheep dies a slow and painful death. That's why mule...

You know you're a freemale when: … the idea of getting married brings you out in a cold sweat. … you go to bed in a face mask and socks. … your impressive collection of newly bought shoes is not hidden away at the back of the wardrobe. … the lid of your lavatory is always down. … you have a female friend listed as next-of-kin. … all of your best male friends are gay. … the only man who tells you what to do in your bathroom is your plumber. … the only thing that needs looking after in your life is your cat - and yourself. … the only time you read the lonely hearts column is for a laugh. … you pity smug mums in TV ads sniffing laundry and gushing about freshness. … you've never been speed dating - but you're an ace at the karaoke machine. … before going on a (rare) date, you book an appointment not with your hairdresser but a counsellor. … you buy your own jewellery. … your holiday first aid kit is full of hangover cures, rather than Calpol. … you haven't lost touch with ...

Man convicted of assault with a Hedgehog A man has been convicted of assault after hitting a teenager with a hedgehog and asking him if he wanted to "wear a hedgehog helmet". William Singalargh, 27, was fined for assault and offensive behaviour by a court in Whakatane, in New Zealand. He was fined NZ$700 and ordered to pay the bulk of it – NZ$500 - to his victim. The 15-year-old boy was returning home with two friends in February when he was confronted by four men on the road near his house, Whakatane District Court heard. One of the men, Singalargh, was holding a hedgehog and asked the boy: "Do you want to wear a hedgehog helmet?" When the boy indicated that he would rather not, Singalargh threw the animal, leaving a large red welt and four quills lodged in the teenager’s hip. When the boy's mother intervened, Singalargh pulled down his trousers and exposed his buttocks. He had pleaded not guilty to the charges, claiming he was not the hedgehog hurler. But judg...
