Dunno what's going on. But went and dropped off the better half this morning and the police are out in force. They've blocked off Manchester St between Hereford St and Litchfield Ave. Even one car blocking Cashel Mall at Colombo st.

Anyone know what's happening?

"Improvised explosive device found in rubbish bin. Holiday Inn and Grand Chancellor Hotels have been evacuated..."

Pity it'll just be some kids crude device they made with one of the numerous online recipes.

Ah well bit of excitement I suppose.

Not scared, just to intelligent to consider it, it's not as though the sidecar will be fast enough to be scary it's only having a R1 motor in it :finger: :lol:

Turns out there was a bad taste party last night.

Going round bars, some guy dressed as a suicide bomber couldn't get into any of the bars because of his "explosives" belt. So he threw it away, into a rubbish bin. Which someone obviously mistook for the real thing, and the rest is history.

Looks like the poor bastard (side note, they - the cops - found all this out because he voluntarily came forward when he drew the connection) could be not only charged but sued by all the retailers.

Doesn't anyone else think everyone is getting just a little too serious about this shit. There's no more terrorism/guerrilla warfare going on now than at any other time. All I see happening is peoples freedoms being removed in so called free and democratic nations under the guise of protecting them from the "bogey man".

Ah well something had to replace the dirty dangerous communist threat.

WHAT !!?? I've been REPLACED ???

Who by? When did this happen ? Oh, hang on, do you mean that only the DIRTY communist threat has been replaced. That's OK cos I'm the CLEAN communist threat, had a shower just an hour or so ago.

That depends. For chicks, I'll be the "red IN the bed". For male type blokes, II'll be the "red into your (Lion) red".

It was gray. None of this "Red" stuff at all.
