When I was about 15, my uncle (only a few years older than me) and I - both of us are big Supertramp fans - were at West Lakes Mall, and were handed a brochure inviting us to a "seminar" at a nearby hall a few nights later, showing a movie featuring music by, among other bands, Supertramp. This caught our eye, as the movie summary seemed a little vague, and there was nothing in the brochure to suggest anything untoward, nor who the event was being hosted by.

Turned up that night, and the hall was packed, with a wide range of ages, and people. Took our seat, and the movie beamed up. Within 5 minutes, it was apparent that the movie was not exactly entertainment. It was very much like an advertisement for a particular religious group, with scenes showing people being revived from the dead, rising from wheelchairs and other similar scenes. Many scenes of fires with people emerging, seemingly unharmed, and looking to the skies.

We both cottoned on that this wasn't kosher, but decided to wait until the lights went up. When they did, a gentlemen went to the front and started proclaiming to the crowd, who all started yelling joyously back to him. Then suddenly, the room all started speaking in tongues, which I had NEVER experienced before, and found quite daunting. Next to us, a man threw himself to the ground. In front of us, two ladies fell to the ground, smiling and chanting. This was quite intimidating to both of us, who tried to both keep our composure and not laugh, but also, sidle toward the exits. When we finally did, two large men stood in our way, wanting to know where we were going. We made up a very quick story on the spot, and after looking at each other, they very reluctantly allowed us to leave. BTW, the movie did feature 30 seconds of a little known Supertramp song called "Child of Vision".

A night I will never forget for the sheer oddness of it all, and the sheer sneakiness by which people were attracted into it.

After reading that CK , I wont be able to listen to that song without thinking of your experience!!!

Driving home from work and seeing 2 mothers and their kids at a bus stop.

Kids aged about 2 or 3 y.o and running around with no shoes and no shirt with nappies on ( with a temp of about 13 degrees if not cooler)

Real intelligent stuff!!!

Ferals!!

A friend of mine posted a similar status on her facebook a couple of weeks ago.

It was pouring with rain and she saw a 'couple' pushing a twin stroller with two very young kids in it.
The adults were fully rain protected with coats and umbrellas.
The kids not rain protected at all - next to no clothing and no socks or shoes.

Quite sad really.

I dont understand how Singapore Airlines have managed to lose my Grandmother somewhere between Singapore and here.

She was supposed to arrive home this morning at 8am but she wasn't on the flight

Upon ringing the airline, they said that she checked in and was on the plane to Adelaide.

What did she do, jump out on the way?

Given that Nanna doesn't have a mobile or know how to use a computer, I have no way of finding out where she is.

OMGosh FC

I hope you find her and soon - must be worrying

[JAS]

Bloody hell FC...hope she's ok...she's gonna need something a bit stronger than one of her coffees when you find her.

Considering all the extra checks etc the airports/airlines have now you'd have thought it would be impossible to lose a passenger these days.

Any update????

Thanks for the concern guys, it's not everyday an airline loses your Grandmother

As it turns out, the flight out from Shangai was held up on the tarmac for 4 hours and as a result she missed her connecting flight from Singapore, so they've put her and her friend up in the Grand Park Plaza and she flies out tonight and will now arrive home at 8am tomorrow.
