Uhvaćeni neki istočnoevropski džeparoši u Sidneju (mislim da se radi o Bugarima, jedna grupa je ranije uhapšena u Melburnu). Elem, to i nije neka vest, međutim pažnju mi je privuklo sledeće:

Detective Inspector Houlahan says the women, aged 26 and 34, were working in a "strikingly similar" way to the methods police had identified. "Previous to that, we had police speaking with some eastern bloc males in the vicinity of these stores, acting suspiciously," he said. "At that time it was speculated that they could have been working as lookouts."

Helou? Eastern bloc?

Ма шта знају ти робијаши тамо. Забачено то, споро стиже, не стигну ни да прочитају прошловековни интернет а камо ли шта свежије.

Okej, policajac je odvalio glupost (što mu spada u opis radnog mesta), ali australijska državna medijska kuća ABC bi valjda trebalo da uradi neku lekturu majkumustaru. Možda im se nije dopala varijanta teksta koja je počinjala sa "nekoliko turista iz EU uhvaćeno u džeparenju". Ne zvuči tako dobro kao "Eastern bloc".

Jasno - k'o dobro jutro...

Mozda ovako:

Да џукела није била мало под утицајем? Јер... ни полиција више не покушава са "на новчаницама нађеним код осумњиченог је било трагова дроге" јер сад већ на свим новчаницама има тих трагова. Крајем прошле године неке банке су опстајале једино на редовним улозима дилера, који су доносили лову на прање - јер нико други није имао кешовине :P .

E, da su samo novčanice. Voda koju pijemo sadrži koješta, prozak, kokain, lekove... Zato se i kaže - rakia, correcting people.

It's official: australijski premijer je u stvari Kinez :D (Za neupućene, premijer se ističe tečnim mandarinskim, te u poslednje vreme inicijativama za davanje mnogo značajnije role Kini na svetskoj sceni... ne zovu ga slučajno Chairman Rudd).EDIT. LOL

Obrezje JournalSlovenia Border Spat Imperils Croatia?s NATO Bid OBREZJE, Slovenia ? Customers at Kalin, a rustic, 180-year-old tavern, can eat roast pork dinners here in Slovenia, step a few yards across the room to Croatia to use the bathroom, saunter back to Slovenia to pay the bill and end their meal on Croatian soil over a game of billiards and a shot of local pear brandy.They can do so because of the vagaries of history and an accident of geography. To prevent any confusion, Sasha Kalin, the tavern?s 36-year-old owner, has painted a fluorescent-yellow line across the floor to delineate the very spot, next to a pool table, where the border between Slovenia and Croatia bisects the property.Tipsy customers who step outside and accidentally walk through a row of plants in concrete pots demarcating the border are stopped by unsmiling and armed Croatian border guards.?This is the Balkans, so every little piece of land counts,? said Mr. Kalin, whose father is a Slovene and whose mother is a Croat, and who woke up one day in May 2004 to find that the Slovenian half of his restaurant was in the European Union and the Croatian half was not.Where Slovenia ends and Croatia begins might appear to be an arcane regional concern. But it has suddenly taken on geopolitical significance, with a border dispute dating to the collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s now threatening to stall the eastward push of the European Union and NATO.The conflict involves a sea border the length of several football fields and a handful of tiny villages in the northern Istrian Peninsula. While hard to untangle for the uninitiated, it is deadly serious for proud Slovenes and Croats in a region long plagued by bloody conflicts over land.At issue are rival claims to an area in the Bay of Piran that includes about eight square miles of the Adriatic Sea. Croatia wants the border drawn down the middle of the bay, but Slovenia objects, saying that a simple division of the bay would impede its ships from direct passage to the high seas.Paradoxically, although the region was embroiled in wars in the 1990s, Slovenia and Croatia, both parts of the former Yugoslavia, have never fought a war with each other. While they have distinct languages, the two were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and share a Roman Catholic religious identity.Yet a rivalry persists. Slovenes, who pride themselves on their Central European work ethic, depict Croats as lawless, lazy and excessively nationalistic. Croats, in turn, make fun of Slovenes as haughty and humorless. They also mock Slovenia for its tiny size.Slovenia was the first former Yugoslav nation to join the European Union, in 2004, and it was the first formerly Communist country to adopt the euro. Croatia is eager to join the European Union, but Slovenia moved in December to stall Croatia?s bid.Unless the stalemate is broken in the next few weeks, Croatia is unlikely to complete membership talks by the end of the year, throwing into doubt the future of the union?s expansion in the western Balkans.The disagreement also threatens to derail an element of NATO?s 60th-anniversary celebrations next month in Strasbourg, France, when Croatia and Albania are expected to be admitted to the alliance.While the government of Slovenia insists that it supports Croatia?s NATO accession, the Party of the Slovenian Nation, a nationalist group, is racing to gather the 40,000 signatures necessary to force a referendum on Croatia?s NATO bid. If a referendum takes place and voters say no, Slovenia?s government could be forced to block Croatia?s entry.?Slovenia is misusing its position as a member of the E.U. and thinks it can blackmail us,? Tomislav Jakic, a foreign policy adviser to President Stjepan Mesic of Croatia, said in an interview. ?But our bottom line is that we are not ready to pay for our accession to the E.U. with our territory.?Mr. Jakic said the free passage of Slovene ships through Croatian water was assured under international law, contending that this rendered Slovenia?s claims meaningless.Iztok Mirosic, the coordinator for Croatia at the Slovenian Foreign Ministry, said, however, that Slovenia had always had ?direct contact? with the high seas while it was part of Yugoslavia, and that retaining this right was a matter of principle.Moreover, he said, Croatia, and not Slovenia, initially linked the border dispute to entry talks.??We don?t want to block Croatia from joining the E.U.,? he said, ?but we will have to unless we can reach a compromise.?Borut Grgic, founder of the Institute for Strategic Studies in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, argued that both sides were exploiting the squabble to help forge national identity in their young countries, but he warned that it could create a dangerous precedent.?Slovenia is now making things difficult for Croatia,? he said. ?Then if Croatia joins, it will make things difficult for Serbia, and then Serbia will block Kosovo. As a result of this dispute, the whole region can take a step back.?Here in Obrezje, Slovenia, and across the room in Bregana, Croatia, the battle over land has fanned strong emotions. When Yugoslavia was dissolved in 1991, a border was erected along a meandering stream, formalizing the division between the towns.Today, some Croats still dine at Kalin, but Mr. Kalin lamented that freshly resurgent nationalism was keeping many people away ? along with the nuisance of having to show their passports every time they crossed the border.On a rainy afternoon, two bored border guards from Slovenia sat outside the restaurant. They could smell the roast pork inside but dared not enter.?We never go to eat there,? said one, declining to give his name. ?If we did, we might accidentally step onto Croatian territory and cause an international incident.?An earlier version of this article misspelled the surname of the reporter.Eugene Brcic contributed reporting from Zagreb, Croatia.

Ovo je trenutno po svim medijima u gradu i šire, a verovatno je i u vašim gradovima/zemljama. Valjda je priča svima toliko zanimljiva zbog the underdog wins elementa, tj. kontrasta između očekivanog i onog što se desilo.EDIT: Neće ovde da radi, ali dupli klik po youtube prozorčiću će vas odvesti na sajt.
