They bitch and moan about the wanton and furious driving charge but until very recently it had a 100% conviction rate and a 100% custodial sentence rate too. You’d need a couple of new prisons a mouth if motorists where convicted at the same rate.

It give the Mail something to put on there front page

Furious cycling?

Electioneering from the Tories.

Nobody doing the David Coppafeel joke yet?

Seconded. It was bad enough for me round here when someone (apparently accidentally) dinged one of the sliding poles on one of the climbing frames and it cut and scraped a load of kids’ legs and arms.

Thanks again. Apparently the US contact has already reported it and it’s been acknowledged. So we’ll see.

I plead guilty your honor

She looks well up for it
"Hold me back Pheeleep, it's about to get rowdy"

The colour piece – arguably an unflattering picture of the mining magnate

"Churches DON'T want you to know about this unbelievable life changing hack!"

I went to see his exhibition when I was in Canberra - it's very good.

Great to see Angus up there. Rinehart can fuck off. Replace her with Bon Scott.
