The totally off-topic thread

Do you get the feeling they already know what happened to the little boy in Barcelona and are just waiting for his father to arrive before making a public statement?

View attachment 104451

Yes. Definitely. And it's appropriate if that is the case. The father arrived today in the company of a woman who is desperate to keep her identity secret. Why on earth she didn't just let him walk in on his own accompanied by Embassy Officials. All she did was draw attention to herself.
There is a photo I saw today of a man tending to a small child and a woman lying nearby.

Difficult time. Maybe a support person. They probably dont care about any attention at the moment i think

My guess is that she is the child's Aunty and sister of the poor injured mother who must be beside herself.

Well there is a photo on news.com.au which I think shows the boy

Using NRMA roadside assistance (premium care) first time in many years.
Wife and 2 teen boys and 2 dogs about 300km from home (50km outside of Canberra)
Car running but automatic not engaging. No forward or reverse.

NRMA sending towtruck with hire car on it. Patrolguy/gal will attend to assess. It's in the middle of the highway in a turn-in lane.
Thry said use the hire car to get home and will tow the car off the road to a depot and tomorrow will tow to anywhere in Sydney. Good service!. Will take about 1.5hours.

Unfortunately can't fly from CBR as there are 2 dogs. I suspect the 3 last minute fares will not not be covered under NRMA premium care

Last game for Fremantle Dockers at Domain Stadium this weekend. We had better rush home to see it.

A wasted rush home then cove.

Lucky its a Sunday game; 2:40pm start you might be able to make it on time,

I hope the Dockers can win but I don't like your chances.

You picked it.

Don't rush.

They'll lose.

Who are they playing anyway :?:

....and they did lose.

I raised it. My bad issue. Shame the media were allowed to film.

Generally the media put themselves up on a high moral pedestal but they don't realise many times they are just bottom dwellers

Under an AFL mercy rule if the Fremantle Dockers had a fifth quarter with Richmond off the ground I feel confident we could score a few more points.

I stupidly thought Freo had a chance and tipped them.

EK414 obviously had an issue coming in to land in SYD just now. Noise was enough for me to pull up FlightAware - was over me at 1,100ft. They have banked right, headed back up to 2,800ft and up to Epping before coming back down to land.

But would it have been enough?

Looked like a "Go Around". Got down to 1000ft over City west Link near Norton St, Leichhardt when it went round again at 2153hrs.
Maybe an aircraft did not vacate the runway quickly enough - TT287 SYD-MEL departing at 2153 just before EK414 first landing attempt possibly the culprit.

You guys are impressive with this type of knowledge

A stew is "'a dish of meat and vegetables cooked slowly in liquid in a closed dish or pan". Is it still a stew if there is no meat?

Onion, tomato, green beans, okra, egg plant, potato, zucchini and red and yellow capsicum.

Just confirmed. Terrible news. Thoughts with the family....

 

[Quickstatus]

I believe they know all along. Just needed father to go to confirm identity (+/- DNA matching) . Sad for family. Well done to the authorities for keeping this under wraps until father attended.

Awful car crash yesterday in Adelaide. A 40 year old woman going to work and crossing on a green light was rammed by a stolen 4WD driven by teens. She died on impact and the teens just hopped into another stolen car and still on the run. Police know the group - maybe one of the group of 49 who are on a revolving crime - youth court - remand - finish - crime pattern. Part of their gang was arrested yesterday but as they weren't the ones driving that car they were released.

I grew up on watching Jerry Lewis.
