Would You REALLY Like To Become A JEDI!

March 1st 2008 09:15
Jedi Knight
Thousands of Australians during a national census have been known in the past to put down their religion as being 'Jedi'.

Now it seems the first 'Jedi Church' is in the makings thanks to brothers Barney and Daniel Jones of Anglesey, Wales

They claim to have up to 400,000 members worldwide, with 80 of those physically in Anglesey, and base their religion on the teachings of Yoda to promote inner peace.

Taking their religion seriously, they have also offered to start up lightsabre fighting classes when construction in completed.

It's certainly not the first time this type of 'religion' has sprung up. After all, Scientology was born out of the science fiction writings of Ron L. Hubbard.

FAIRY BREAD - A Cultural DELICACY???

September 19th 2007 10:14
OK, so here's the story..... something that I, like may other Aussies have grown up with is the simple idea of taking buttered bread and sprinkling it with either multi-coloured Hundreds & Thousands, or multi-coloured Sprinkles.

So we move to the UK, are in temporary accommodation and Miss 5-almost-6 is about to have a birthday. Hmmm, we need something simple and easy for her classmates to share with her on this auspicious occasion that requires no cooking due to lack of cooking equipment, and won't cost a fortune, especially with the conversion rate.

Porsche 2 For The Price Of 1 Deal

April 27th 2007 00:25
By now some of you will probably have heard about this now becoming infamous tale. I myself have heard it re-told on radio stations in the Sydney area, so I decided to do a bit of investigating. After all, I know there are some really stupid people out there, but surely not quite THAT stupid!

The story goes that Glen Fergusson - Sales and Marketing manager for a new U.S. Porsche dealer lost his job because he ran a "buy one get one free promotion".
