Hi all
I could not resist a post about a news item last night.
A deranged man was in a shopping centre in Melbourne, Australia waving a
4 foot sword at the passers by.
He finished up surrounded by heaps of armed police. Then a police
armored van drove up to him. After shouting at him to drop the sword
through a loud hailer. A head popped up through a hatch, and a massive
cloud of capsicum spray filled the air. Then another great cloud having
less effect than the first.
This was followed by a hail of rubber bullets. these made him stagger a
little.
Then the hero of the piece "Rin Tin Tin" the faithful German shepherd
police dog charged in and put him to the ground. Followed by police who
took the sword off him to loud applause from the crowd of shoppers.
A real classic it should be shown world wide. One of the best laughs for
ages for me.
On topic the days are getting longer and the seedlings are growing well
under the lights.
