SUBJECT: ROCKINGHAM STORM
Torrential rain and strong winds hit Rockingham in the early hours of
last night.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, flannies soaked, woollen
trackies sagging, muttering 'Faaackinell'.
Flood waters devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of
damage.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals
were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.
The Rockingham Times reported that hundreds of residents were confused
and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact
that something interesting had happened in Read St.
One resident - Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Skye-Smith, a
15-year-old mother of 5 said 'It was such a shock, my little daughter
Chardonnay-Mercedes came running in to my bedroom crying. My youngest
two Joachim and River slept through it all.' The water rushed in the
front door and out the back - it was amazing, the place has never been
so clean!"
Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and
carried on as normal.
The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of
Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue
workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards,
Jewellery from Kmart and Bone China from Big W.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most
sought after - items most needed include: flannelette Shirts, tight
blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue & white) white sport socks, Ugg
boots, hoodies and any other items usually sold in Priceline or The
Reject Shop.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked
Beans, Ice cream, Sarah Lee Frozen Cheesecakes, Chips, all Fizzy
drinks, Wagon Wheels, Tim Tams, Coco Pops and Fruit Loops. NO DIET
COKE.
Donations of $25.00 will be taken to buy a packet of Winny blue
25s and a lighter and cans of Jim Bean to calm the nerves of those
affected.

By definition, Bogans wear flannel shirts (and flannel jamies to the shops).
Bogans do not ride STs. therefore ST riders do not wear flannel anything anywhere :grin :grin :grin :grin :grin

Don't own Ugg boots, or Japanese riding boots, so there might be hope for me.
