Kooky.

I sent an email to my Head of Dept this afternoon headed "Floods, Cyclones, Fires and Plagues of Locusts" as part of my job is sending comms to people and we've been excluding all the affected areas, which I think need reviewing.

I thought I was joking about the Locusts 'til I went on http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/ to check the flood areas and noticed the link to http://new.dpi.vic.gov.au/agricultur...s-activity-map

Kooky.

Please tell me I don't need to update it yet again.

Trust me, I didn't miss it, picked it up on Twitter last night but I'm off work for 3 days with other priorities

Brisbane street remains closed as authorities probe sinkhole

The Brisbane City Council is warning more sink holes may appear on the city's roads.

A three-metre hole appeared on Felix Street in the CBD yesterday afternoon and some lanes are still closed.

Deputy Mayor Graham Quirk says council believes recent flooding caused the subsidence but tests are being conducted.

"The road has been filled in - it's been made safe on a temporary basis," he said.

"We will now need to establish exactly what services are under the road.

"We know that there are services in existence and we will undertaking comprehensive searches before we start digging around too much and causing disruption."

After accidentally seeing about 30 seconds of that show, I can confirm that the above is indeed a disaster worthy of Creature's list

I intentionally missed it but was jack-knifed on the car-wreak that is Hale And Pace Down Under .... It was not pretty, in my defence our remote is broken and the night drags on a bit post wine.

I saw Hale And Pace live in the UK many years ago, not pretty ...

Not necessarily. My wife was explaining it to me but I fell asleep.....
