Could just be big city talk, but like isnt Nimbin a city of tents and hippies who consume medicinal herbs of questionable legality?

^^ internet?? it's the cosmic vibrations man, dig? just go with the flow, and it all becomes one with the universe

Who needs internet when you just wander out at sunset and join in the cosmos, attune your soul to the music of the spheres and let your inner self become at oneness with life

Lord, it's been 30 years since I was at Nimbin, from what my daughter told me, it's not much changed, she was at Mullimbimby for a while running the Pizza shop as you came into town

Oh my goodness gracious me.......does not the universe provide.......Mullumbimby also was once known as a dope growing area. It wasn't called Mullumbimby madness for nothing

A friend of mine who is sadly computer non-savvy has asked me to check the travel advisories for the countries she plans to visit this year. Tonight, doing my standard tests, I took a peek at the advisory for Nigeria, and...

Quote:

There have also been reports of phone calls and emails to relatives and friends in Australia from bogus hospitals or doctors in Nigeria claiming that an Australian traveller has been injured and money is required to be sent for medical treatment. Your relatives and friends in Australia should make sure that the contact is genuine as this is a common method of extorting money. Treat any requests for money from Nigeria with caution.

(Emphasis added)

Now that last bit should be written up everywhere...
