    French media are describing as a "miracle" the unscathed survival of an 18-month-old girl who fell from a sixth-floor apartment.[^]

    The girl was left unattended by her parents when she somehow fell, then bounced off the awning of a cafe below. She had a further stroke of luck when a passing doctor saw her fall and caught her before she hit the ground, witnesses were quoted as saying. [. . .] The man who caught the girl was walking by with his wife and son when the boy spotted the girl falling.

    Awesome bit of good fortune there. But her parents suck!

    Regards, Nish

          CPS needs to forcibly confiscate that child immediatly where he will grow up in an institution full of pedophiles and pissed off butch women. A kennel.

                hehe... nice... In Qld (where I live), the number plate "BOOGER" is still available, but it's near enough to $3000 to buy... All cheaper alternatives are gone... :sniff:

                      Nope, they've had US engines for ages but never the badge, it's an aftermarket wankerism. see here[^]

                        I think Holden. "Bogans" yep! The picture was taken in Hamilton VIC, would be one of the bogan capitals of Victoria, of course we don't live there, just visiting for the day :) . We are from the slightly less boganish city of Warrnambool VIC, bogan city with a sea view!

                            I hear a rumour that next year's Camp Quality esCarpade (being the 20th year) is going to follow the original route, which was something around Melbourne to South Australia... I hope you stop by to say g'day if we make it there!!

I'm not a big city person, so it suits me fine, not too far away from Melbourne for the odd trip if we need. I can walk with my kids to school from home in 5 mins, another 5 mins walking and I'm in my office. That's the best thing about living here for me.

                                          You either love it or hate it, there is no in between, I cant stand the place.

                                          Yes, thats the trade off for the convenience I spoke of above. The sites listed in my profile are actually owned/operated by me and I am currently the only employee, I actually have more work than I can handle most of the time. I did have an employee but he disappeared, another down side is the lack of talented people in regional areas. But at the moment I probably couldn't afford to pay an employee anyway. If I had have known how hard it is to run a business before I started, I don't think I would have taken the leap... I am also lucky enough to have the support of a former boss who I can contract for at the drop of a hat. But if all of that disappeared tomorrow I could always become a prostitute, that's what I tell my wife anyway... she thinks we would go bankrupt...
