A Police Warning
This is NOT a joke – it is a warning from the West Yorkshire Police
‘WARNING FROM POLICE
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF
YOUR VEHICLE–NEW WAY TO
DO CAR JACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)’
.. You walk across the car parking , unlock your car and get
inside. You
start the engine and shift into Reverse.
When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your
parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle
of the rear window. So, you shift into neutral, unlock your
doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or
whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach
the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out
of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically
mow you down as they speed off in your car.
And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.
So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your
money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are
now compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW
BEING USED.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just
drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you
read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and
family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of
personal information and identification documents, and you
certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please pass this on.

Portuguese Settlement all set for historic open house bash
MALACCA: Workers at the Portuguese Settlement in Ujong Pasir worked late into the night to put the finishing touches for the national-level Christmas open house here today.
Some workers were busy setting up the stage next to the seafront while others were installing additional Christmas trees.

The regedor (village headman) Peter Thomas Gomes said the residents were excited over the honour of hosting the grand Christmas event for the first time since its founding in the 1930s.
Some 30,000 visitors and guests are expected to turn up for the ‘Unity Through Celebration’ Christmas bash to be launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
From 4pm and 6pm, visitors could check out several selected homes at Jalan Albuquerque. At 8.30pm, the VVIPs will be taken in a convoy of 15 decorated trishaws to the stage where the main events of cultural performances will be held.
Melaka Tengah OCPD ACP Mohd Adnan Abdullah said that from 5pm until midnight, the Bukit Senjuang road leading to Ujong Pasir would be made a one-way traffic.

Twas the Night Before Christmas
Les Says :-
This is good — In all the centuries the Brits have been fighting throughout the world, not once is it recorded that Father Christmas hats were worn during a battle – ‘Good On ya the Marines’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thousands of miles from their loved ones, Royal Marines sing Christmas carols in Afghanistan – moments before Taliban forces staged a surprise attack.
The troops, from 40 Commando Royal Marines, were attempting to bring a touch of British normality to war-torn Helmand Province when their festive service was interrupted by enemy gunfire.
Hurling aside hymn sheets, they rushed to grab their weapons and – still in their Santa hats – loosed off round after round of mortar fire to see off the enemy.
Then, as the Taliban retreated and with no injuries to the British troops, our heroes resumed their carol service before tucking into turkey for Christmas lunch.
The extraordinary pictures were captured by soldier and amateur photographer Capt Euan Goodman. They illustrate the relentless call of duty experienced by the thousands of British servicemen and women spending Christmas on the front lines.
Capt Goodman, 28, came across the heartwarming Christmas scene during one of his three tours in Afghanistan.
He said: “I was on a tour of camps on December 25th last year. In the morning we had flown a goat out to the Gurkhas to make a curry before we raced out to the 40 Commando Royal Marines at Forward Operating Base Inkerman in Northern Helmand.
“The camp is surrounded by mountains and desert and we were experiencing Afghanistan’s coldest winter for 20 years – but the lads were still in really high spirits. They were in the middle of a traditional carol service – complete with Santa hats and songsheets – when they came under attack from the Taliban, who had targeted one of the checkpoints.
“The instant they heard the gunfire they dropped everything.
“Some were still wearing their hats as they fired mortar rounds out of the camp.” Capt Goodman, who has taken 15,000 photos on his Afghan tours and joined the Army in 2001, told how top brass do their best to make sure servicemen can celebrate Christmas – even in the middle of frontline operations.
He said: “They try to ensure everyone either gets a slap-up breakfast or a traditional Christmas lunch.
“All food is prepared at Camp Bastion then flown out by helicopters to each camp to heat up in the oven.
“We also get inundated with presents from the general public, which are a huge morale boost.
“Thousands of parcels are donated every year and split evenly among the units who then share them out.
“You get everything from toothpaste to woolly scarves. It’s much like the traditional present opening on Christmas morning – except serviceman tend to have the wrapping off as soon as they get the parcel.
“It’s supposed to be a special time of year no matter where you are – but it’s the nature of the job that we have to keep working. The show must go on.”
Pain
A Joke from Marlene
A married couple having their first baby were invited to make use of a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother’s labour pains to the Baby’s father. Both were happy to try it.
The pain transfer was set to 10 percent but the husband felt nothing so the doctor increased it to 20 percent. The father said he still felt fine and his blood pressure was normal. He invited the doctor to kick it up to 50 percent. Still no reaction.
The doctor was amazed and slowly transferred all the pain until the wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband and the doctor were ecstatic.
