After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.
As the end of another year approaches, I thought it might be worth opening things up for members to log of few of the more ludicrous things (in sport, politics or whatever) that caught their fancy...
To start things off here are a couple of my own (please feel free to post throughout Jan. if you feel so inspired):
- John Howard insisting that there was no 'underlying racism' involved in the Cronulla riots
- US Pres. George Bush's comment at the height of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in Florida that the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (& his friend) Michael Brown, was doing 'one heck of a job' - around 10 days before he was forced to resign for the Administration's abject failure to get aid to New Orleans.
And lastly (& especially if the above political comments are not to your taste) can anyone beat this one for just plain weirdness?
- ...according to the papers, a British tourist has finally married a dophin she has been visiting for 15 years in the Israeli resort of Eilat. According to an Israeli newspaper, after Wednesday's wedding ceremony was sealed with some mackerels, she was tossed into the water so she could swim away with her new husband. Apparently she told the newspaper 'I'm the happiest girl on earth' as she swam away!
Have a great New Year!
