HURRICANE APPEAL

A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) and an earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit Broadmeadows in the early hours of Friday, March 9th 2007 - with its epicenter in Johnstone Street, Broadmeadows. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".

The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately $30.00 worth of damage. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived. The Hume Leader reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Broady.

One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 3 said "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Kevin and Jason slept through it all."

Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.

The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, jewellery from Kleins and Bone China from Big W.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include: baseball caps, tracksuits, singlets (blue & white), white sport socks, Reebok boots. Any other items usually sold in Priceline or The Reject Shop. Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.

Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked beans, Ice cream, Chips, Fizzy drinks.

Donations: $15.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blue 25s and a lighter to calm the nerves of those worst affected.

**Breaking news**

Neighboring Glenroy Uniting Church has cancelled their local "Nativity Display" due to their inability to find three wise men.... or a virgin.

Regards,

Melbourne City Mission

An oldie but a goodie. Has done the rounds globally as we had it for Birmingham several years ago in the UK when they had a small tremor. Shops and drinks names were substituted for local ones. ;)

That's actually quite similar to a localised cyclone in the Doncaster area. Ross (PurpleR32) is the expert in it. They call it Cyclone Ann and it's a regular coinsurance to feels its full force anytime you're at home!

Oi leewah. i saw there was a chow chow corp cyclone down at the poker room at the casino today :wave:

Cyclone anne is currently infecting Singapore or around that area atm. ross in tow .

I wish they would hurry up so i can get my taxes done :pirate: i hope i get the dodgey accountant which one that is ... i dont know.

Andy.
