  1. Hi, I am 100 metres away from a/port roadblock which is less than 1 km from a/port itself.

    Foot traffic is passing through (both to & from) and nothing else. aircraft continue to fly in and out. I anyone wants more info p/m me.

    Supporters appear to be appearing in droves and a small police force is assembling.

    L.K.

  3. Slightly off topic, but pertinent, is the billabong tree. It is actually the Coolabah tree in the song. Or to give it it's true name, Eucalyptus microtheca F. Mueller.

    But in 1994 the foremost eucalypt botanists Hill & Johnson published a taxonomic revision in which this entity was split into 8 species (Hill, K D & Johnson, L A S, Telopea vol. 5(4):743-771).

    'Waltzing Matilda' was penned by A B Paterson reportedly while visiting a sheep station at Winton in western Queensland and after hearing a local legend. The subspecies in that region is subsp. arida - or to give it its full name ...

    Eucalyptus coolabah Blakely & Jacobs subsp. arida (Blakely) L. Johnson & K. Hill. I believe Hill & Johnson's revision of the coolabahs is generally accepted among Australian botanists, though some of their other eucalypt revisions have aroused controversy (e.g. recognition of Corymbia as a distinct genus).

    Meanwhile back to the Baked Beans

    In 1876 B&M baked beans were the first baked beans to be sold in cans. The Burnham & Morill Company canned baked beans for use by fishermen who worked their fishing fleet out of Portland, Maine.

    Kingaroy is also known as the Baked Bean Capital of Australia. We can probably thank our lucky stars that the bean's other popular name at the time ("the Yankee bean") didn't catch on.

  5. Events to be staged at 2012 London Olympics will include the following :-

    OPENING CEREMONY

    The flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of the area in the traditional dress of balaclava and shell suit. The flame will be contained in a large overturned police van situated on the roof of the stadium.

    THE EVENTS

    In previous Olympic Games, East London's competitors have not been particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some of the events have been altered slightly to the advantage of local athletes.

    100 METRES SPRINT

    Competitors will have to hold a DVD player and microwave oven (one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a police dog will be released from a cage 10 yards behind the athletes.

    110 METRES HURDLES

    As above but with added obstacles (i.e. car bonnets, hedges, garden fences, walls etc)

    HAMMER

    Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they wish to use (claw, sledge etc) the winner will be the one who can cause the most physical damage within three attempts.

    FENCING

    Entrants will be asked to dispose of as many stolen goods as possible in 5 minutes.

    SHOOTING

    A strong challenge is expected from local men in this event. The first target will be a moving police van. In the second round, competitors will aim at a post office clerk, bank teller or Securicor-style wages deliveryman. The traditional .22 rifle has been replaced in this event by a choice of either a Browning automatic handgun or sawn-off 12-bore shotgun.

    BOXING

    Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife teams, and will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15 pints of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he gets home. The bout will then commence.

    CYCLING TIME TRIALS

    Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy on his first trip away from home. All against the clock.

    CYCLING PURSUIT

    As above, but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft.

    MODERN PENTATHLON

    Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing, joyriding and arson.

    SWIMMING EVENTS

    All waterways are currently being tested for toxicity levels, once one is found that can support human life, swimming events will be organised, please note that the Synchronised Swimming event for this year will comprise of dropping acid and watching all the funky ripples on the pool, the specific musical support to this event will be provided by "The Verve."

    THE MARATHON

    A safe route has yet to be decided.

    MEN'S 50KM WALK

    Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the police cannot guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of East London, especially anyone that appears to be... mincing

    THE CLOSING CEREMONY

    Entertainment will include formation rave dancing by members of the Stratford Health in the Community anti-drug campaigners, synchronised rock throwing, and music by the Ilford community choir. The flame will be extinguished by police riot water cannon following the inevitable pitch invasion by confused West Ham organised hooliganism club. The stadium itself will then be boarded up before the local athletes break into it and remove all the copper piping and the central heating boiler

    :o:D:D
