You can always tell my dads mates that he went to high school with bc they call him ‘fred’ despite the fact that is not his name and the story behind it makes no sense when anyone explains it to me and I’m sure they’re leaving something out

Baboon on the loose in western Sydney

quote:

Three baboons have been recaptured after they were spotted on the loose at a major Sydney hospital, triggering a police response and a flurry of interest online.

Police told Guardian Australia on Tuesday evening that they were attending “an incident of that nature” when asked if reports of baboons on the loose were true.

Callers to Sydney talkback radio station 2GB were first to report that they’d seen apes running loose in the area.

A caller told presenter Ben Fordham that he’d seen three baboons.

“Mate I’m deadset serious, I’m at RPA, I’m six floors up and I was just having a gaze out at the carpark… and there were three baboons in the carpark,” he said. “I’m deadset serious. They even had shiny red bottoms.”

Another caller said her daughter and her colleagues had been chasing the animals.

“My daughter is an occupational therapist at RPA and she said ‘yes mum, I’ve just helped wrangle them’,” the caller said.

New South Wales police confirmed on Tuesday evening that they had recaptured the animals.

“Just after 5:30pm officers from Inner West Police Area Command were called to a car park on Missiden Road and Lucas St Camperdown, after reports three baboons escaped while being transported,” a NSW police spokesperson said.

“They are currently contained and police are working with experts to safely return them to their facility.

“There is no immediate danger to the public but people are advised to avoid the area,” she said.

A spokesperson from the University of Sydney told Guardian Australia that they were looking into the incident.

The baboons join a long tradition of animals breaking loose from captivity and embracing the freedom of the big city.

They include two water buffalo, which escaped from a movie set in Newtown, Sydney, and chased pedestrians down King Street; two llamas chased by police through the streets of Sun City, Arizona in 2015; and three lions that escaped from a circus on Mindil beach, Darwin, and caused all kinds of havoc before they were caught – including gatecrashing a wedding in the botanical gardens.

"The Protei-5 (Протей-5) is a small Russian one-man diver propulsion vehicle often used by Russian commando frogmen. It is battery electric powered, using six non-sealed lead–acid batteries. It clips on under the diver with a clip over each shoulder and one up between his legs. Its casing is aluminium. It was intended to be clipped onto the outside of a submarine; near the operation site the frogmen would airlock out underwater and unhitch their Protei 5's and ride them to the operation site. It seems to have been intended to be ridden fast and far rather than for complicated maneuvering.

The Russian for this sort of "diver-carrying vehicle" is буксировщик buksirovshchik = "tugger".

I like this

I've decided to pick up some mason jars with ferment lids in various sizes and do pickles and sauces properly

Dug through my plants up the back and P much threw all of them out, most were dead. By throwing them out I mean just tossing them over the fence so there's a good chance they'll end up taking root in the ground over there and growing wild. I kept my curry leaf tree bc it was the only healthy one left, and gifted my large tabasco tree to my housemate so he can plant it in the ground

Ended up walking inside and sitting down then realised my foot was itchy, looked down and there was a loving leech hanging off my ankle.

Normally you can pull the skin taut and slide em off with a credit card, or a nail (I don't rly have nails), so instead I went into the shower, we have one of those detachable heads, turned it to massage mode (3 high flow streams) and up to full hot and essentially pressure washed it off my ankle. 10/10 worked a treat

My spinach plants are good for about one large harvest a week at the moment which is fine, I don't eat more that 2-3 times a week

I'm looking to pickle a bunch of chilis and ginger to have them for flavourings in my stir-frys.

I'm getting some kangkong and putting that into my lovely hydroponic system tomorrow, which should actually be perfect for them

Also getting some struck kumera from the folks and chucking it in to a raised bed potato Tower thing

We had some cabbie try to double charge us one night in brissy, we were out for a mate's 25th and most of us were P cooked on pingers and booze, we got the maxi and he said to pay up front, based on the location, which we did, then when we pulled up at my mate's he goes "that'll be xxx dollars" and me being infinitely less cooked on pingers clued onto him P quick and called him out. My mate and his Mrs were starting to get their wallets out lmao

I tried to get a cab home from the Tool concert last week after the huge storm hit. Uber was surge pricing and cabs were abundant and lined up waiting to go so we tried a cab.

the first guy wouldnt unlock the doors to let us in until we said where we were going. we said 'Pendle hill' which is like 10min on the motorway from the concert, max. he said no.

we tried another guy and he said the same thing saying 'I wont get a return fare its not worth my time'


yeah, Cant figure out why people prefer Uber over cabs.
