Natty Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I got this from a friend of mine on the net today who also lives in Melbourne Hi. Well a F#cking Taxi Driver of obvious Arabian background, told a friend of mine recently, to stay away from the Crown Casino in Melbourne for the next two months!! He winked at her as though he meant that something terrible is going to happen in that period like maybe a bomb or an attack. He didn't say. He just warned her to stay away from Crown Casino in Melbourne, Oz up until X-mas. He was a regular Taxi driver to & from the Casino. She took it as a threatening warning!! Authorities in Melbourne have been told. Although I have read before that this sort of urban legend has happened in America, can someone shed some light? Phuleeeeeeeeeeeeeze? I don't wanna die Especially since there's a rumour about the major shopping centre near my house (which is basically the busiest in Melbourne) which is like a second home to me If something happens and I die remember I love you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feral Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 The chances of something happening there in the time he specified are unlikely...I would have thought that you'd have realised that, Natty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natty Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 Actually even before this Australia has been placed on terror alert over the Christmas/New Year period, I'm surprised we actually got that warning, then again I suppose it's because our *ahem* lovely and charming and *splutter* *cough* gasp* honest Prime Minister realized he stuffed up with Bali so he probably thinks hes doing the right thing. Although I'm sure they'd rather attack Sydney, more people more landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge (and why the hell security gaurds are positioned on the bridge 24hours a day is beyond me- I don't see what help that is since they can't stop every single car that drives across)and a nuclear powerplant, besides what does Melbourne have other than the tallest building in the southern hemisphere? Which they've already done the "hijack plane fly into buildings" thing before. But apperantly they've found an al quadia training camp just outside of Melbourne today, in the Dandenong Ranges which is like 45mins from where I live Don't ask me how they found this out- I'm just going by what the TV said which can be found at http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,5602209%255E661,00.html Anyway I say if they're gonna blowup anything maybe they should go after the Prime Ministers house I'm sure that would make lots of Australian people happy Besides you know how I worry And I hate living in fear and its exactly what those stupid towel heads want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 steve irwin. wow, i still wish he was dead, that voice is so annoying because it's what people expect australians to sound like, when they sound nothing like that. and also, that taxi driver was probably full of ****. i mean, what famouse taxi drivers do you know, he works in a low end job and suddenly for a laugh, starts telling everyone to not go to this place for a couple of months to see how many people he can sucker into this.

HelenW Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Every few weeks i get an email doing the rounds!!! they are always along the lines of A friend of a friend saw a person of arabic appearance who (was homeless, had no money to get home, no food or insert any situation of need you like). The friend then feeling kind gave the arabic person (food, money, clothes or insert other suitable item that was needed). The arabic person then replies "my dear, I can never repay you your (food, money, clothes or insert other suitable item that was needed) but I can offer you this advice. Stay away from (insert nearby landmark or location) on (insert approaching date). I have have so many emails like this where the details are just slightly changed its ridiculas. Don't worry about it Natty, your story sounds like the same old ones doing the rounds by email!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 you know those websites where you insert details like your favorite pet or a verb or something and when your done, it comes up with a story (someone came up with a samnmax one a while ago). they should do that for this. it wouldn't be funny, but it would be the same kind of thing. honestly, some people have nothing better to do than scare people. and the worse part is, they're using a tragedy such as the sept11 bombing for means of a complete joke. it's ridiculous and sickening.
