I hope everything turns out alright. But with five hostages having left, the terrorist supposedly owning an iPad, and the terrorising taking place at a Lindt cafe, it all sounds rather Four Lions so far...

BREAKING: Armed police storm cafe

Armed police have just stormed the cafe with a large amount of bangs heard.

It is believed live ammunition and stun grenades were used.

A number of hostages have been led away.

Absolutely, just a shame the powers that be won't be the ones affected despite them allowing it to flourish

I wonder what went on In there ??

A beautiful moment If you can go that far In a scenario such as this was seeing those Ballsy Individuals making their dash for It.

God bless them and the unfortunate victims.

I know what you mean Ashdown....

I had a very rough year in 2010....my personal annus horribilis......so these days, any time news or events start to get me down, I remind myself how lucky I am & how important it is to seize every opportunity to be happy & enjoy the company of those you love.

Life is so so short & precious.....its just a shame that many of us forget whats really important & get bogged down with pointless shit like striving for a slightly better car or a slightly posher postcode.....

....its an even bigger shame that some of us need some sort of tragedy or loss before we realise it.

It's just appalling.


Why are our media doing their PR /Mitigations for them ??
