We had a seige next door when I was 18. The old 65y.o Serbian drunk next door had got plastered and walked to the Bottle-O to get more grog. His son rang the Bottle-O and told them not to serve him. He got back and grabbed his gun, so his wife and son fled out the front door and he fired 2 shots at them while they were running.

I got home about 15 minutes after this happened, and my mum was freaking about hearing gunshots. I told her he was probably pissed trying to shoot the dog, so I went for a look. Was hanging over the fence when I hear someone yell out to me from down the backyard. Look down and there's a cop in a bulletproof vest. Ran down there and he told me to go inside, get my mum and there'll be an officer at the front door to evacuate us (stupid thing was to get back to the house I had to go on an open verandah that overlooked the neighbours house)

We got evacuated at 4pm, then had to meet with S.O.G and give them a plan of our yard, their house, etc. Eventually the seige ended when the negotiator made contact at 6am. The old prick had passed out drunk after he fired the shots and had no idea what was going on.

He did 6 months in a mental institution, but is still a piss-head. Once he got out he went back to the house and put it on the market while his family was on holiday in Serbia, they got back and took the house off the market and made like nothing had happened and still live happily ever after.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Heineken. It is harbour by the way

How to get the worst beating of your life 10 by me fucking ouch

Biggest thing to happen in Wagga was when old Davy Thompson didnt pay Stevie Crocker the full 10 shillings for painting his wagon. :p

:lol:

I know I shouldnt laugh...but it cracked me up when I read this facebook fan page. 'The awkward moment when travis cloke is having a shot on goal.' :lol:

+1 :lol:
i reckon if your in a park with him and he's taking shots at goal, and then you say $10 you don't get the next one, he'll miss, terrible under the slightest pressure

Maybe not the most exciting thing to happen in my hometown, but one of the funniest. Saw on the front of the paper about 6-8 months ago that a cop was chasing a stolen car through Otangarei (the ghetto part) and found that the residents were throwing objects and rolling things on the road to impede the police efforts.

When he stopped the car and got out, a Maori woman from a nearby house walked out and proceeded to throw a tyre iron at him, before stating that "we used to eat fullaz like youse!".

I just about pissed myself laughing when i saw that on the front page, especially since the cop was part-Maori.

We had a pretty serious siege a few years back where two cops were shot and had another a couple of months ago where someone was stabbed to death, all in the same suburb too. For a regional city Bendigo actually has its fair share of events like that and we were pretty badly hit by Black Saturday too, they were only a few K's from my house and had the wind not changed it would have kept tearing through the bush towards my housing estate and eventually my house. That was the scariest day of my life because I was at work and had to evacuate but we lost power so I couldn't contact my family and they had been evacuated from our house. We were just waiting out the front of my work as people pulled in with stories of what was happening but mum managed to get through the blocade to get me from work and luckily the wind changed

What. The. Fuck.

Just went into an article in WF about Paul Gascoigne and had the weirdest thing happen. The page started off normally then about half way it was the Best and Worst Thing about your day thread:-s

Has anybody ever had a dream about these forums?

I haven't either... but have had a dream about sfcu forums lately telling me to get to the game an hour early because we had a new signing and then went I got to the ground we had signed Timmy Cahill!!!!

Soooo disappointed when I actually woke up.

Anth, you have a serious problem. See a doctor.

If I ever dream about an ET thread I know that my life is fucked. :lol:

The perfect time for a poll...

Mouth Hygiene Methods...

1. Brushing teeth - Up/down
2. Brushing teeth - Forward/back
3. Brushing teeth - Both
4. Electric toothbrush
5. Flossing
6. Mouthwash
7. I'm English

My entire life up until a month ago (I'm 25) I have been a forward/back brusher with no floss but with mouthwash also, twice a day. I have converted to the up/down brushing method, still don't floss and still use mouth wash. I have to say the up/down brush seems to bring me greater success with overall mouth happiness.

Informed by my dentist that flossing is a waste of time and to get onto dental sticks, they are like minty toothpicks but are skinny not rounded and have a flat length and a curved length. They do a sweet job of cleaning between your teeth and require no messing around like floss does.

Im indie when it comes to brushing my teeth. Pure laziness. I only brush my teeth if im going out and I havent gone out in a week...
When I brush my teeth 9 times out of 10 I just use water. I hate toothpaste. Sometimes I clean my teeth with a towel, to get food off them. Sometimes I towel and brush with water. Sometimes I just towel.
If it makes any difference I chew a whole lot of gum. For the record my teeth are pretty white, not perfect though, and ive only had 3 fillings in my whole life - they were about 10 years ago.

I remember being told in primary school to brush your teeth in a circular motion as that was the best way. This was back in the early 90's, but I've stuck with that technique and it seems to do the trick for me.

my dentist says my teeth are some of the best she's seen, not particularly white but the only way i can fix that is with bleach and apart from that they are very healthy, never had and my dentist says i will never need a filling :d \:d/

I just brush around the structure of my mouth. Pay special attention to the backw here the wisdom teeth are because they haven't come up fully and food gets stuck there. I use mouthwash. I've never flossed because I have slight overcrowding and there isn't enough space between my teeth for floss. I have absolutely no fillings.

My teeth are crooked as (thanks NZ Govt for not funding orthodontist trips) but I brush at least once a day.

The key for me is a firm toothbrush because the clean just feels so much more legit.

Yeah, I can't use a soft bristled brush. Gotta be medium or hard.

So my old man went out for dinner, didn't ask me if I wanted to go, just went out for dinner.

Now he's got food poisoning. I'm not sure whether to laugh or feel sorry for him.

totally dead tonight

Wish I had a peadometer over the past two days, just to know how far I've run. My guess is in the 40-50km range. :|

So another day has started...

Is anybody else excited by the mysteries it may unveil?

Yup. :)

Yeh, the mystery of what's in my religion exam on Monday! :P

If you are finding that out today then it must be a sacred friday.

Religion is the mystery lol.
