Coles has, for reasons known only to them and the focus groups they run this crap past, decided that Jaws 50th anniversary tat should be a big seller???

Husband's making burgers for a quick dinner, when comes the urgent cry: "Where's the beetroot? Do we have beetroot slices?"
We find them in the back of the fridge. Order restored.
"Pineapple?" I ask.
'Nah, good to go. Got the beetroot"

(Don't imagine anyone in the US will understand this exchange)

Woolworths sliced beetroot 825g. In a tin. WITHOUT a ring pull. Always check you have a tin opener people or it could be a disaster.

But OH NOES! We got the beetroot tin without the ring pull, and can't find the tin opener. There was no beetroot that night and we are still sad.

An official flight was timed 5min 40 seconds.

I wanted to fly longer, but the high trees on the other side of the field made me set up a lower time.

At the end of the flight, the model landed practically on the launching spot, so no wind at all. It was very unusual for the UK.

So let me set the scene
It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees
The Queensland harsh summer heat
Had me sweating buckets up and down my street
It was there I spotted the bloke
Perched atop of his milk crate throne
He eyed me off as I approached
Then he said

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

So it's Tuesday Morning and my Centrelink hasn't come through
So I pick up the phone because I've got some abusing to do
But all I get is elevator music
Waiting on the line
On hold all the time
All I get is elevator music
Waiting on the line
'Til I get a reply

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

"Argh, Ah what time is it?
Is it Smoko?"

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

So let me set the scene It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees The Queensland harsh summer heat Had me sweating buckets up and down my street It was there I spotted the bloke Perched atop of his milk crate throne He eyed me off as I approached Then he said I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone So it's Tuesday Morning and my Centrelink hasn't come through So I pick up the phone because I've got some abusing to do But all I get is elevator music Waiting on the line On hold all the time All I get is elevator music Waiting on the line 'Til I get a reply I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone "Argh, Ah what time is it?

Preliminary investigations by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau say the rocket failed because key staff were "On Smoko".
