So it is 70 years since the Battle of the Bulge began.
77 years since the Rape of Nanking.

So thanks kindly for the history prompt. John.

Queensland Police Service officers attended the West End address with lights flashing and sirens blaring about 1:45am to calls of a break in.


The informant, a teenager, told police he woke to noises of someone in the kitchen, or what he believed to be someone in the kitchen.


Senior Sergeant District Duty Officer Todd Sucic said the teen was certain it was no other member of his family.


"He sought refuge in his bedroom and he requested to stay on the phone to police until they arrived because he was too scared to go out," Snr Sgt Sucic said.



"On arrival police were able to determine quickly that the offender responsible was actually a large mud crab that had escaped its box and was wandering around the kitchen.


"The person who called for help was slightly embarrassed and quickly secured the mud crab and all was good."


Snr Sgt Sucic said it was a "pretty hard case to crack".


"I think they recommended he boil the offender as soon as possible so they don't get a repeat call for this type of incident

We used to keep yabbies as pets. One day one of them escaped the bowl. For some reason I needed to go out to the lounge room in the night and I never turn on the lights so as not to disturb others. I walked on the escaped yabby. I screamed. He sadly perished.

Sometimes the joy of being left handed with the ability to slice or hook. First time (in a single stableford comp), I scored on every hole. My consistency with the new clubs (21.5d 4 wood and my 51deg & 60deg wedges) was the most pleasing. Back to the practice range...

Can you get shingles twice?

Medical opinion changes regularly.

Popular opinion used to be shingles occurs once and rarely more.

Current opinion seems to suggest shingles occurs more often than they thought it occurs.

It's so hard to keep a secret.

It's so hard to keep a secret.

Don't worry, no-one told me. And I haven't told anyone.

Secrets are things that I only tell to one person at a time.

Sometimes I tell secrets to people I know cannot keep secrets.

We were there last month. Did you go to one of the coffee plantations ?

Unfortunately not.

Today we are in Pisco, Peru which is one giant desert. A large cruise ship looks so out of place.
