Yet another telephone scam
A caller rang yesterday and told me that someone at my address had been in a motor vehicle accident in the last three years and ever so kindly said he would do his utmost to assist me in so many ways.
I asked the caller to tell me the name of the organisation that was going out of its way to assist me and the caller said he was from Accident Help Services in Fairfield.
Sadly (for the caller, who was by then my very next best friend), I had to tell him that he was barking up the wrong tree because no one at my address had been in a motor vehicle accident. I didn't mince words when I told him what I though about him and his scam.
The caller must have been very disappointed that he couldn't 'help' me because he very rudely terminated the call.
Cabbage Tree Island and other massacres on the NSW North Coast
ABC North Coast NSW 23 October 2014:
Lois Cook takes on a history detective mission to track down people and documents to find out if her family's oral history is supported by other accounts from the 19th century. With the help of the staff of Ballina Library she discovers commentary by settlers and historians who were compelled to record the brutality against the local Indigenous people.
This video was created by Lois Cook and her family in collaboration with ABC Open in a series of video production workshops.
It is a special project for ABC North Coast's initiative UNTOLD, culminating in a live broadcast from Cabbage Tree Island on October 28 2014.

A jaw drop or laugh out loud post
Sometimes the Internet demonstrates just how weirdly incorrect some posts can be.
This post flows effortlessly from the pen of a U.K. contributor to the online version of World Coal magazine.
He obviously doesn’t realise that Metgasco Limited’s drill site at Bentley is a tight gas not an oil sands site and, Queensland’s parliament is not home to the federal government:
