Beware! this was a terrible experience.
Be careful when shopping at Bunnings!! A "heads up" to you and any of your friends who may be regular Bunnings customers.
Over the last month I became the victim of a clever scam whilst out shopping. Simply going out to get hardware supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic.Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you.

Here's how the scam works:
Two seriously good looking 18 or 19 year old girls come over to your car as you are loading your stuff into the car.
They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a ride to another Bunnings. You agree and they get in the back seat.
On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen January 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, three times just yesterday and very likely again this upcoming weekend, as soon as I can manage to buy some more wallets.

Who Can Stand In The Way

Where is John Howard’s plan to address climate change?
Today’s reports of research for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the most comprehensive scientific global analysis of climate change ever, shows the extraordinary threats accelerated climate change poses for Australia.
The likelihood of a two and a half to three and a half degree increase in global temperatures, along with a 20 per cent reduction in rainfall in southern Australia suggested by the science, puts John Howard and Malcolm Turnbull squarely in the climate change spotlight.
Labor supports the Howard Government’s water plan. However global warming will increasingly affect our water resources and common sense says you can’t have an effective water plan unless you have a climate change plan.

Don't Dream It's Over

Crowded House are doing a new album called 'Time On Earth'.

Lead singer and founder Neil Finn announced the title this week from Melbourne, where he and Nick Seymour are auditioning drummers for the reformed band.

In an official statement, Finn says "After spending most of last year making music and hanging out with my friend Nick Seymour we are now announcing our intention to reform Crowded House with a new record entitled Time On Earth".

Crowded House broke up one year after original drummer and co-founder Paul Hester left the band in 1994. Finn says "We are conscious that Paul Hester was above all a great drummer and we are currently auditioning to find someone special to take that role."

The band will engage a world tour for most of 2007, with the first officially announced show being Coachella in California in April. About the comeback, he says "It feels right to us that the band should re-emerge at this time and together with Mark Hart we look forward to reconnecting with the audience that we established and for whom we still hold a deep respect. We aim to make the upcoming shows and the new music every bit as vital and spirited as what has come before".

Finn and Hester formed Crowded House with Nick Seymour after the demise of Split Enz. They recorded four platinum selling albums between 1986 and 1993.
