Useless info?

 

A Chinese coal ship the Shen Neng 1 ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef near us over the weekend. It was 12 kilometres off course and has leaked four tonnes of oil onto the reef at Douglas shoal. It's still stuck.

 

Great navigation chaps!

 

Hope your week goes well everyone.

Had to laugh at this :lol: I walked out into my back garden, picked up a poo or two I'd missed, looked at what little is left of the lawn in places, the weeds(only one whippet and 3 regular canine guests, Oh and a huge trampoline!) and thought ' I can't do this, I need some sheep/ a goat or preferably one of those TV garden makeovers!' So I came back inside and had a cup of tea instead! Doesn't help that the lawnmower blew up on me last year when I was cutting the grass at the front... I stood staring at the smoke until a kindly neighbour approached and suggested that maybe I should unplug it (w00t)

OMG

thanks for the warning :thumbsup:

 

[jinnyfizz]

I gave Jinny a stuffed toy for her birthday today (w00t)

Luckily, mine don't eat them but I am heeding the warning and will no longer buy them human toys for playing with.

Thanks, Schmickles :thumbsup:
