and in breaking news today .......

Victoria police say a fire at a tobacco shop is possibly linked to other recent arson attacks, as the government announces a crackdown on illegal tobacco imports.

great to see the boys in blue are on the ball

Once saw on the news the story of the discovery of a dismembered body dumped in a wheelie bin on the nature strip in front of someone’s house. The story ended with the reporter saying, “Police are treating the death as suspicious.”

It seems that, once again, truth wins the day. There actually is a UBO dc.

UNIVERSITÉ DE BRETAGNE OCCIDENTALE 

Based in the Breton port city of Brest, UBO in June 2023 declared an ambition to be known as the "Oceanic university of France". While this aspiration led to some concern that other disciplines might be downgraded, it suits the university’s location and existing profile. 

Founded in 1971, UBO has a roll of around 22,000 students, about two-thirds of them undergraduates, both in Brest and at its base in Quimper. 

The 14,500 undergraduates divide between the faculties of letters and human science, sports and exercise science, science and technology, medicine and health, dentistry and law, economics and management.

What the hell is going on here?

Back when I was a detective in the police, I was the only cop that actually wanted to do press conferences, but I was never allowed. To this day, still no idea why.

"Optimism" faded from the letterheads some years ago dc.

Perhaps your scatalogical references and history was a factor Ethan?

Perhaps bitters, perhaps. I went to this job once where the bloke had been dead in a spa-bath for three weeks. The jets in the bath were still going when we walked in. The boss wasn’t too happy when I titled the job “human soup” within the report. I haven’t been able to eat a lamb shank since.

Very pleased to see you posting here again Ethan!

There is always a distinctive elegance in your work.

Did you remove the bouquet garni and add a good pinch of salt?

Probably worst ways to go than in a spa bath I suppose.

 

[Redleg 40,905]

The grunting by the women tennis players, is not only disgusting and off putting, but imo bordering on cheating.

Personally, I can't think of many worse ways to go or be found

Maybe @Ethan Tremblay can enlighten us?

Don't be so sexist....it's bloody annoying from whoever does it.

It puts me right off some players.

Not being sexist at all and in fact it was my wife who is more annoyed than me.

More of the women grunt than the men and they sort of squeal and scream.

It wasn’t around years ago and is a modern phenomenon.

I'm really starting to enjoy your observations here Red.

Please continue.

Sorry Mr and Mrs Leg. I wasn't really serious about the misogyny accusation. It was really more of a segue into how annoying I find it too.

I wonder if it actually uses more energy grunting and screaming like some of them do.

A few of the blokes are pretty noisy as well.

Your right it wasn't around in the fine days of Kooyong and it's a blight on the modern day if you ask me. I mean if you just had a twenty shot rally, then yea a grunt after reaching for that forehand down for the line for the point, then maybe.

But a noise after every single shot is just silly.

I thought you might like my observations of a game, in which the score starts with love and can lead to one side having an advantage.
