Aimus should have gone to Australia instead of Canada:



An analysis of new census figures has shown that Australia is suffering from an unprecedented "man drought".

The statistics have revealed that there are almost 100,000 more females than males in Australia.

The problem is worse in the coastal cities, where women have moved seeking better jobs and lifestyles, while many men have gone overseas.

Thirty years ago Australia was with flush with men thanks to immigration policies that favoured males.

That position has been reversed because thousands of Australian men in their 20s and early 30s have gone overseas either to travel or to work.

It has caused a gender imbalance that is having far-reaching implications.

Who is Anthony Wiggle?

[motherhubbard]

OH! I can't believe it!!! He's one of the most beautiful men God ever made!


The Wiggles are a music group that sings children’s songs. They are from Australia. Anthony is the blue wiggle because he wears the blue shirt. I was lucky enough to see the wiggles live when I was just overdue with my third child. It was a fantastic performance! My sister took her son, I took my two girls and my brother came along incase I went into labor. My sister is a nurse and she could help me while he drove or managed kids. After the concert we all stood out near their tour bus and waited for over an hour. When they finally came out they signed T-shirts and visited with the kids, it was great. Anthony is breathtakingly beautiful!

Well, who couldn't be in these outfits really?

Don't know them... Are they still together? Doing shows and all? Maybe I should check out youtube.

[motherhubbard]

I don't know, I think so. I have some old videos and that's what my kids watch. I think they had a show on disney, but I don't know.

The wiggles are shown on TV over here, but they arent that big.

Oh I know this! . They are still together, including Dorothy the Dinosuar and Wags the Dog and that octapus thing and Captain Feathersword and the Big Red Car... and.... thats pretty shameful that I'm almost 16 and I know this still. But anywho, recently Greg (yellow wiggle) left due to illness. They replaced him with a younger guy who was his understudy, who is named Sam.

I remember back in year 6 I think it was, or year 7, my friends and I dressed up as the Wiggles (I was the yellow one) for Book Week, we even made a Wiggle-mobile, well thats what I named it. It was a cardboard version of the Big Red Car. Anywho, one friend chickened out and they were meant to be Jeff, so there was only 3 of us. We told the little kids that we ran over Jeff. Poor kids

More Stories making me proud to be a glaswegian

THESE shocking pictures expose the terrifying extent of Scotland's blade culture.

A young mum confronts her neighbour wielding a samurai sword in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other.

The mum-of-two, aged 24, who has a third weapon stuffed into her jeans, screams threats and waves the deadly blades as her six-year-old daughter stands at her side.

As the sickening scene unfolds, a group of youths hurl abuse at the unemployed single mum, who only backs off when someone shouts that the police are coming.

In the normally sedate gardens of the Edinburgh Book Festival, it is causing quite a furore.

From this autumn, a number of publishing houses will "age band" their children's books.

Each book will carry a specific marking indicating they are suitable for readers aged 5+, 7+, 9+, 11+ and 13+/teen.

Research within the book industry suggests people buying books for children would welcome the guidance.

But it is a scheme which has already enraged a number of writers, among them former children's laureate Michael Morpurgo.

A giant statue of a Buddha has been discovered in central Afghanistan, near to the ruins of the world-famous Bamiyan Buddhas.

Archaeologists say the 19m (62ft) statue is in a sleeping position and dates back to the Third Century.

Other relics such as coins and ceramics were also found.

The Taleban blew up two giant standing Buddhas carved into the mountainside at Bamiyan - once a thriving centre of Buddhism - in 2001.

The statues, the tallest such standing Buddhas in the world at the time, were considered by the Taleban to be un-Islamic representations of the human form.

Archaeologists are working on restoring the largest of the two Buddhas in a project that is expected to take a decade.
