So, an Ant Garaj. Is that were you park your ants?

When police in an Indian town stopped a speeding tuk-tuk (auto-rickshaw), they were surprised to find how many people were crammed into the small vehicle.


A video showing 27 people, including children and elderly, disembarking from the auto-rickshaw in Fatehpur has gone viral on social media.




I think this has to be close to a World Record?? I have loaded a half a dozen+ canoe people in the back of my cranky Lada ute once so not tossing stones

Flowers given to a Lady and a few people saw a video on Tic Toc- Not me. I did hear her grumbling about it and later heard the person who posted Happy and nice things on Tic Toc agreed to take it down. Job done?

Nope the Ladies complaint is big news. It probably is not on Tic Tock any more. Her privacy seem to be a lot more exposed than it was by the grumble? "Melbourne woman featured in viral TikTok video without consent says she feels 'dehumanised'

"

Suspect everyone now knows about it rather than a few people who did before radio and News got it spread Loud and Proud??? Not sure if she achieved Privacy at all. Heard her on the radio, saw her on news......

Now I even spread it Melbourne woman featured in viral TikTok video without consent says she feels '''dehumanised''' - ABC News

To be fair I will Expose the Life of Harrison He seem rather nice I think

Photos found on seabed in Australia finally reunited with owner

A British ice swimmer has reunited hundreds of family photos with their owner seven years after finding a memory card on the seabed in Australia.



Rory Fitzgerald spotted a camera while swimming in Balmoral Bay, Sydney, in 2015 and tried to find the owner of its memory card containing 3.5GB of photos.


He thought his efforts had failed until receiving a message in 2020 from the camera's owner who lives in Singapore.


Mr Fitzgerald, from Hampshire, was able to finally meet Mr Lisheng last week.


When Mr Fitzgerald, who has lived in Romsey and Bishop's Waltham, realised the camera itself was unsalvageable he removed the memory card.
On the ABC so no link really needed if you want more.

The camera found on 'the bottom of the Harbour' has funny memories for me not the corruption type happily . I did find sunken boats, engines, clothes and almost a full tool lit or too when Diving 'the bottom of the Harbour' in Sydney. The camera card is a cool bit of trivia

I worked for a period of time in one of Australia's theme parks.

during morning startup and checks it was common to find lost property which security hated accepting .

there was a lost and found website link where people could contact the park and describe their lost possessions .

security were obliged to look at (if possible) phone/camera/cards and content and record it. they expected you to witness it and I can tell you people should be more careful as to what content they have on their devices.

Title is on a photo in a German news paper online. "Kazakhstan is the top exporter of uranium, which is the most widely used nuclear fuel" Editor slipped a bit perhaps? What else is used as Nuclear fuel?

DW in English is probably a lot better than Navy Diver in German of course date was

Tourists risking lives to see crocodiles at Cahills Crossing in Kakadu National Park - ABC News

Tourists risking lives to see crocodiles at Cahills Crossing in Kakadu National Park


I swam with a croc- total triva as I am not a Darwin award. As I was ordered to dive in Darwin on my favorite ship I am not really responsible perhaps? Me and my several rubber clad mate spent 40 odd minutes doing a hull search in 1987 I think on HMAS Hobart in Darwin. As usual one of those rotten Gunnery types ( I love Gavin really) was pointing a 7.62 my direction.

I have posted this before sorry!

Yep a bloody big croc came to say hello to us all. Twin 64cc dive tanks, fins and a rope ladder. Usually a rope was attached to my Dive tanks and fins off in my teeth I could get up the rope ladder. That day we all got in the Quarter deck of Hobart with our tanks and fins still on.

Lovely memories and no Darwin Award for any of my crew Another minor point is none of the Tourists were swimming
