News from down under...


My brother left who lives in Manchester left on Saturday night on a trip to Australia to validate his residency visa, he will only be there for a week. He will then return home & sort out what he wants to do & maybe move to Sydney on a permanent basis. With this is mind I have been watching the press in Australia for a while now to get up to speed on Australia news, I found this that sort of links with a previous post....

"Rolex and crime seem to go together like Red Bull and vodka. This evening, via the Courier Mail, we learn of two Australian teenage boys who inadvertently aroused suspicion by casually counting out 6,000 $5 bills at a Denver jewelry store to pay for a $30,000 Rolex. Sensing that something might be amiss, the sales assistant asked the boys to leave, and told them she was calling the police. After later confessing to robbing a nearby bank with air pistols and photographing themselves in a McDonald's with the $170,000 they stole, the boys explained that they were attempting to convert the cash into jewelry in order to avoid suspicion."

Another Homer moment - Doh!
