Well, the imputations in the article might be true. We can't tell. And that is the whole point here: the article is so lacking in basic research that one cannot clearly decide anything* from reading it.

* Anything other than that the so-called "journalist (ir)responsible for it should be demoted to a task more suited to her current competencies. The topic which comes most readily to mind is "What I did on my Holidays".

To be fair, he is a lawyer and they're not known for being overly smart or good with tech.

OK, look they aren't side splitters but they're not bad. Nick apparently had a blast filming them with Sacha Baron Cohen.

I'm a fan of Nick. Mum hasn't watched tennis for years, I got her watching his game last night and she sat up til the end.

he gets a bad rap from some but when you take the whole package for waht it is, the kid can play.

Had to visit Point Cook today for cricket so I donned the hazmat suit, grabbed the gun and headed over the Westgate.

Stopped at a local shopping centre and tried to park away from the locals...First car I passed when walking to the shops had police tape on it, smashed window, no bonnet and smashed lights

First thing I thought was, Welcome to Point Cook

Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

I thought it was named that because all the people who live there work in hospitality.

The ninja grandmother from the Gold Coast.Did you see the story on the news tonight?She had her handbag stolen while she was sitting at a table on a street.She chased after the guy who stole her handbag,crash tackled him to the ground,then wrestled her handbag off him as they struggled on the ground.The guy had to give up then and run away.I wouldn’t recommend that sort of action for all grandmas,because they would likely break a hip if they did something like that,but it certainly worked for this dirty Harriet. :D

Saw that, wasn't bad, but not all Granny's are old and gray, I heard one today where a woman was upset that while she was in hospital giving birth to her second child, her mum ( a granny) ran off with her boyfriend. :shock: :?

Saw this on Twitter. I suppose logical thinking is a gift that eludes us all at the best of times. :lol:
