    I hope once the fuzz have popped you in the nuts ... Allah short-changes you and gives you only 4 virgins - and they're all goats.
    :)

    If you don't have any nuts left, it doesn't matter how many of them there are. They are going to stay virgins, aren't they?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    It's live on Sky, of course. Freeview 132.

    Cue shots of nothing, empty streets, random australian flags and nothing going on.

    A man's been handcuffed. Got him it seems.... unless there's another.

    Live on all channels here. It is quite noticeable how many more Aussie flags there are in Aus than Union flags in the UK. My MiL's next door neighbour flies one. He went away on holiday and another neighbour replaced it with a flag of a rugby league team and sent him photos.

    Different bloke according to the news here. Loads of the banks have evacuated.

    I'm sure there are some helpful Glasgow Airport staff who could be persuaded to accept holiday tickets to pay him a friendly visit.

    That was brilliant, my 2nd favourite ever terrorist news stories. My favourite was the bloke in Moscow who bought a 'burner' mobile phone to trigger a bomb on New Year's Eve.

    Unfortunately for our terrorist, the phone company sent him an automated Happy New Year message so the only casualty was him.

    I'll delete this if it causes distress or offence.

    Not to me. Some people seem to take offence at anything these days and, worse, expect you to moderate your behaviour because they are offended.

    The trouble with this sort of live coverage is - it's on, but nobody's got anything to say. Nothing's changed, nobody knows anything, but the presenters have to keep talking. They also get phoned by people on the ground, who also know nothing and saw nothing - and they give them air time.

    There's a 'shock jock' radio station called 2GB that apparently the suspect and at least one hostage has called.

    And now, of course, everyone who sees a cop car in a suburban street is calling the radio to tell them about the 'terror raids' on Accacia Ave in Campbelltown or whatever Godforesaken dump they live in because it's the only time in their lives that anyone will take their ramblings seriously (quite sad when you think about it).

    Glad to hear you and family are ok Gen. When I posted, there was uncertainty as to whether other places were under threat. Glad it's only one, though horrid for those in there.

    I hope they frappe his hazelnuts too.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.
