The Truro murders?

Indeed. It was only when the Police queried why the murders suddenly stopped (after the first couple of bodies were located/missing reports etc) that they looked into people convicted (and therefore not able to offend again) and then deaths. Bingo.

What is it about Adelaide & serial killers?


I can only remember 2 off the top of my head in Sydney - the backpackers killer & the granny killer.


Then again, I could ask "What is it with Sydney & drive by shootings?"

What is it with Melbourne and daylight shootings / assassinations?

What is it with Brisbane (or Gold Coast) and armed robberies?

The way things are going, don't talk to anyone you don't have to otherwise they'll sookylala to the Po-po.

Ah, no. They are just trying to protect themselves from people, and men in particular they don't know. Exactly the same advice you'd give to a daughter.

Once upon a time, you wouldn't have to worry about women but in some instances, they can be just as bad if not worse than the blokes.

Sometimes it's best to talk to no one. Then people wonder why people talk online or are buried in their phones etc.

In many ways (often justified), we've become a very unfriendly society.

No, no, no. A type of lolly water. Is it lemon lime?I think the name of the mix is Smirnoff Ice. Bacardi Breezer is another one.

I've had, courtesy of Swedish friends, glasses made out of ice, and then filled with frozen vodka (well it doesn't freeze, just goes thick and viscous). You can imagine the state I was in after just two.......

Adelaide - The Corpse Capital

And what about the Strathfield (NSW) Sniper - late 80's I think it was.

I've been RSA'd at those ice bars after two drinks. Apparently many people can't handle the combination of drinking chilled vodka in a frozen environment . (apparently affects you more).

I think the days of females talking to strangers on public transport are long gone. Not a thing to do anymore. It's just not safe to do that. Women just don't want it and don't want attention when they are just on their way home. That's why she had a book.

No wonder the world is in a mess.

Ignore strangers in public but then spend hours at night looking for strangers on dating sites? That is a safer way of doing it.

And if that doesnt work go out to some sleazy nightclub and go home with the first stranger all over you. That is a much safer way of doing it.

My god Harvey Norman online service is cough!
Last week I ordered 2 of the same item, but last week they only delivered 1.
I have emailed, phoned them and still no response where my missing item is. They promised to get back to me withing 24 hours and it has been 4 days now.
I have emailed them one final time. If I don't get a response I threatened to go social media.

Hooroo (a division of Qantas dealing in hotel room bookings)coughed up the Qantas Frequent Flyer points today for an early March2013 stay at the Novotel Brisbane Airport.
I received a call which was recorded so I enjoyed that communication.
It was JTL (just too late) to get me as a customer again.

When I explained that we can post points in 24 hours it may have prompted him to wave his magic wand to dispense 1,854 points my way. Princess Fiona said she had given up on Novotel and I think I held the double combo of Hooroo and Novotel. March 13th to September 24th was pretty grim.

Worked for me when I was younger . Bit old for nightclubs now and well don't need to have a partner to be happy.

That particular viscous liquid can get quite vicious...

Never worked for me.

But perhaps I made that choice.
