The Daily Gaggle

Most motorists have their own anecdotal stories to tell of police cars brazenly flouting the traffic laws for no apparent reason. Now there is hard evidence that these are not just stories. The revelation that last financial year 1433 police cars were caught breaking the road rules without reason is worryingly high, given there are about 16,000 officers in NSW. But it should be kept in perspective - the lead-foot officers behind the wheel did not get off without consequence. They had to pay their fines, a combined $345,904, and they lost demerit points too, as would any other motorist. And they were subject to internal investigations by safe driver committees, which is entirely appropriate. But the behaviour of the minority is unhelpful to the overall objectives of reducing the road toll. There is already building resentment among some motorists about the punitive measures used in NSW to enforce the road rules. State Government policies have been severe, from double-demerit point weeke...

This says it all!!!! >> CHRISTMAS IN CANBERRA >> >> There will be no Nativity Scene in Canberra this year! >> The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in >> Australia 's Capital this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reasons. >> Our Govt's reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the >> Nation's Capital. And a search for a Virgin continues. >> There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable. Oi Kev! When's this Ruddy 'Help the impoverished retailer hand out' gonna show up. We can't do a Mrs Nicholson 'Spend - Spend - Spend without the loot. On the home front. Vest, that's me, visited the Gosford hospital today for my pre admission routine checkup, It reminded me of the joining routine when drafted to a new ship or establishment while in the R N, only slight diff was the people were more pleasant at the hospital....

Teach the children - Sheik's vile lesson of hate. December 11, 2008 12:00am A GROUP founded by a Muslim extremist who encourages children to kill themselves for Allah plans to build a huge complex in Sydney to teach young people Islam. In what it says is a world first, the Global Islamic Youth Centre is trying to raise more than $6 million to build a giant "prayer, learning and sporting" facility in Liverpool. It has already raised $700,000 towards a $1m land purchase. The organisation says it expects the local Muslim population to almost double to 20,000 in the next decade and notes that a third of the population is under 19. Education in hate for 'tender hearts' It also says it wants to attract youth from across Sydney. The GYIC was founded by Sheik Feiz Mohammad and others in 2000 to "cater for the physical, social, educational and religious needs, especially for the youth and the children, in accordance with the teachings of the Quran". Sheik Feiz ...

From part one posted 12 7 08 continues---- The paucity of evidence Without bodily remains, it is impossible to affirm that a person is dead, let alone determine the manner in which he or she died. At least officially, there is no Hitler corpse because in 1970, so the Soviets/Russians maintain, the presumptive Hitler remains were macerated and intermixed with the remains of 10 other persons— Updated information inserted: Creative Dentistry section will be continued later: __allegedly Hitler's wife Eva, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, his wife Magda, the Goebbels's six children and General Hans Krebs—and buried in the grounds of a KGB installation in Magdeburg, East Germany. This was done ostensibly to preclude the possibility of a burial site developing into a Nazi pilgrimage centre. This story is an obvious deception, however. The Soviets hardly lacked the space to store the remains in the USSR, where there was no danger of a Hitler cult emerging. Its function can only hav...

Subject: FW: A MUST READ TA. simple stroke detection you could save a life STROKE:Remember The 1st Three Letters....S..T..R.. A nurse sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read: STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .....she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pmIngrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die.... they end up in a helpless, hopel...

Hi, Did you know the Government is proposing an internet censorship scheme that goes further than any other democracy in the world? I've just signed a petition to prevent the scheme that will make the internet up to 87% slower, more expensive, accidentally block up to one in 12 legitimate sites, will miss the vast majority of inappropriate content and is very easily sidestepped. The government of the day may add any ‘unwanted’ site to a secret blacklist under the scheme. Our Government should be doing all in its power to take Australia into the 21st century economy, and to protect our children. This proposed internet censorship does neither. Can you join me and take action on the net today to save the net? http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/SaveTheNet/442 Thanks! ------------------------------------------ 'Waving Goodbye to a Thousand Flies'.

December 02, 2008 12:00am FIRST they were the permanent mark of the working class and then celebrities made them cool. But now it seems our love of tattoos is over. Most Australians aged between 18 and 70, believe body art is a big turn-off. More than half believe tattoos on the opposite sex make them less attractive. And it seems women are more forgiving than men. A surprising high percentage of men find tattoos on women unattractive, while a large percentage of women think that tattoos are not attractive on men. I would be turned off ANGELINA JOLIE AND HER TATTOOS for example(if the opportunity came about) Just who is getting their body permanently marked is changing, with tattoos beginning to appeal to a different type of person. Once only seen on the working class, tattoos are now more liked by higher income earners, Mainly those with less responsibilities. Those seeking long term commitment would be advised to avoid these Gilded lilies and larrikins. About 5 per cent of lower inco...
