What and amazing man and life...
Hope he pulls thru, but at 94, things go downhill fast.

CAPE TOWN: South African leaders issued assurances about the health of Nelson Mandela on Sunday after the 94 year-old was airlifted to hospital having reportedly stopped speaking.
 
The former president spent a second day at the Pretoria hospital after being flown from his rural home in the Eastern Cape.
 
He is said to be undergoing tests following a "troubling" deterioration in his health. A source close to the family of the former president said: "He has not been talking . . . he is not looking good. It's clear that something is troubling him."

WTF?
April 1st?


Quote
Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten has questioned whether the author of a memo banning workers on Chevron's Gorgon liquefied gas  project from sitting down on the job was seated when he wrote it.
 
The Australian Financial Review on Tuesday morning broke the news that staff on the $US52 billion project in Western Australia have been banned from using chairs and told not to sit down during their shifts.
 
The directive was a bid to improve productivity on Australia's biggest resources development.
 
Asked about the story this morning, Mr Shorten said that in his  experience of Australian workplaces, most employees work hard. "And  they don't need advice about whether they should sit down or stand
 up," he said.
 

 "Presumably the person that typed up that communications document was sitting down when they [wrote] it," Mr Shorten said. "I am sure that  this [memo] must have been put out by some mid level person with more  time on their hands than productivity goals that they have got to  set."

"Does a hardcore luxury offroader still have a future?"

The Canadian wilderness, with its snow, mud and icy rivers, is the ideal place to launch a serious offroader like the Land Rover Freelander 2.

Well this is absolutely the BIGGEST NEWS of the CENTURY ... MY BOSS ... let us turn on a radio this morning and it's been broadcasting through the office ALL DAY!  Admittedly it's a Shitty station, but hey, after nearly 7 years of complete musical silence, not one complaint.

She must be seriously ill or there is a personator in the building.

Health workers told not to use 'mate'
The world has gone mad.
Quote
Health workers on the New South Wales north coast are being told they cannot call colleagues or patients "mate".

Do you want to run that by me again.
Quote
"This type of language should not be used across any level of the organisation such as employee to employee or employee to client."


So in NSW you have been warned not to use the word Mate

My thoughts on this.
The world is going mad  >:D

Edit; And it gets better.
No more sledging at the cricket or name calling under proposed laws
Quote
"Apart from bagging our enemies, we Australians have all probably bagged our mates even more. What bloke hasn't said to his best friend: 'You dopey bastard'… in future (the mate) will be able to sue for a) disparaging his intelligence level and b) calling the legitimacy of his birth into question."

Are they for real?

So swaggers, you've been warned, you can't hang crap on anyone anymore, they might take offense to it and sue you.
