That said, saw it and was for some reason reminded of Mrs Doubtfire. It's a shameful thing to do really - dishonorable of your mother's memory.

'Stoned wallabies make crop circles'

Wallabies have been observed acting strangely in poppy fields

Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around "as high as a kite", a government official has said.

And our high-quality local paper had to go and use the headline 'HIPPY HOPPERS'...
Tabloids. What can you say, really?

Australia probes navy 'sex game'

An investigation is under way in Australia over claims that navy sailors competed with each other to bed their female colleagues for cash prizes

Now what if they did it with a lesbian on a pool table?


Seriously though, the men who did this are going to be facing a lot of trouble in court.

Its normally the number bedded, and there is no cash prize involved. Not that I know anything about it.

Aw man.. Do you mind if I post something a few months old? I wasn't even HERE when this was out but it's too epic not to share.

A New Jersey old timer is recovering from a nasty cut to the head after being floored by a flying deer as he took a stroll close to his Logan Township home.

Donald Hippo, 66, was described by police as being "simply at the wrong place at the wrong time", in this case Grandview Road at around 9am last Thursday. A truck driver slammed into the unfortunate cervine which "jumped out of nowhere", was sent airborne by the impact and "knocked Hippo's feet right out from under him".

Hippo was subsequently treated for his injury and is "doing fine", according to local cops. The truck driver was unhurt, but the deer sadly "didn't make it".

Quite how much damage the truck suffered in the incident is not noted, but we doubt it's on the same scale as that absorbed by the Michigan minivan, last year pretty well written off by a bovine 200ft death plunge.

Penny-pinching, rude and terrible at foreign languages - French people are the world's worst tourists according to a study of the global hotel industry.

The study by the global hotel industry in 27 countries says the Japanese are the best tourists and ranks Australians sixth.

Carried out last month by TNS Infratest, the study asked 40,000 hotels worldwide to rank tourists from 27 countries based on nine criteria, from their politeness to their willingness to tip.

Clean, polite, quiet and uncomplaining, Japanese tourists came top of the crop for the third year running.

At the other end of the spectrum, French holidaymakers and business travellers were the least open to new languages, ranked last for generosity and readiness to tip, and next-to-last for their overall attitude and politeness.

Pushy French travellers made amends on elegance - classed third - as well as for their discretion and cleanliness.

Despite cliches about beer-guzzling hordes descending on Mediterranean resorts each summer, Britons came a surprise second for their overall attitude, politeness, discretion and even elegance.

The model Japanese were followed by Canadians as the least likely to whinge when a trip goes wrong.

That really is a huge surprise o0

[Sgt. Nuker]

I'll vouch for the Britons placing second. I'd gladly put up a Brit if I had to.

[BeefJeRKy]

I remember coming across drunk brits in Cyprus that fit in with that story. They were entertaining

also: Buns and Guns, link
I will eventually go there and with pics too

[Sgt. Nuker]

The man is a genius, and even from just reading the story, I chuckled a little. Thanks Scope...now I want to eat there.

[Brad]

The tourism story was kind of funny, although I expected the 1st and second place, I never though french people would be the worst tourist... (I did, of course )

And buns and guns

[SquigPie]

Truly an admirable man, (A sandwich can kill you, best motto ever). Would like to eat there, but I'm afraid its a long way down there from Denmark.

A Bristol woman who thought she was going to see an "arty" film as a birthday treat received an unusual marriage proposal.

Radio sports reporter Pete Simson, 26, from Bedminster, Bristol, hired the Watershed in Bristol to propose to his partner Hannah McDonagh, 25.

In the film, Mr Simson appeared dancing in front of many West Country landmarks.

After the brief film Mr Simson proposed and a delighted Miss McDonagh accepted.

As part of his plan Mr Simson, who works for BBC Somerset, had organised staff from the Watershed and other cinema customers to be in on the act.

After the lights went down and the adverts finished the camera revealed Mr Simson in his underpants miming to Daniel Bedingfield's pop hit If You're Not The One.

Trainee lawyer Miss McDonagh said there were a few titters when the film started.

"Pete told me to keep watching. I never thought he would go to these lengths but it is typical of Pete, he likes to be in the spotlight.

"The film looked awesome, really professional on the big screen, and it was hilarious."

She said the film might get re-screened at the wedding, or possibly a sequel.

Round of applause

The five minute-long spoof shows Mr Simson in a variety of colourful pants writhing on a bed, looking wistfully over a cliff top and walking along a beach as he mimes to the ballad.

It was filmed on location across Bristol and Somerset, taking in the sights of Cheddar Gorge, Brean Down beach, Ashton Court estate and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

After the screening finished at the Watershed, a spotlight came on Mr Simson who got down on one knee and proposed to Miss McDonagh to a round of applause.

"I wanted to propose in a way that was thoughtful but I have never taken myself very seriously so a romantic meal wouldn't be in keeping with my character," Mr Simson said.

Epic proposal is epic - there's a vid on that page too for anyone interested.

Professional snipers have been brought in to guard a vulnerable colony of penguins in Australia.

The deployment follows the mysterious deaths of nine of the furry, flightless birds over the last two weeks.

The mutilated bodies of the animals, known as fairy penguins, were found in a national park near Sydney harbour.

The main suspects are dogs and foxes. At 40cm tall, the world's smallest penguin species is clearly no match for such aggressive enemies.

To even up the fight, two snipers have been deployed as bodyguards.

They have started night patrols and have instructions to do what it takes to protect these tiny creatures.

They have joined a legion of volunteers, who have also been guarding the birds during the hours of darkness when they are most vulnerable to attack.

Traps have been also been set in a concerted attempt to catch Sydney's penguin killers.

[Rai]

Well atleast we know that the penguins would be safe and will survive the upcoming years, right?

[Wizard]

That's if they aren't caught in the cross fire
