Strange days.
A fugitive, at large for thirty years, turned himself in to a Sydney police station days ago citing the city’s stringent lockdown laws as his reasoning.
64-year-old Darko Desic, who appeared in court on Tuesday and was denied bail, had been living in Sydney’s tony Northern Beaches for three decades, a happy life filled with surf, or at the very least an idea of surf, and the Carroll brothers, Nick and Tom, nearby.
But Covid restrictions cost him his cash-in-hand job as a laborer and rendered him homeless. He slept on the beach for a few nights before deciding prison a better option, telling a friend, “Stuff it. I’ll go back to prison where there’s a roof over my head.”
Desic was originally arrested in 1992 for “raising marijuana.” He was giving a three-and-a-half year sentence, which he served 13-months of before cutting his way out of a centuries-old prison in Grafton.
Originally from Yugoslavia, he was worried he’d be deported but Australia officially made him a citizen, when on the lam, so he can chill in the relative freedom of prison unworried.
Very cool.

WAs supposed to be apple pies and water boarding to cover the spectrum of the American dream but too many letters for the Disqus bots. So kfc it is…
Punk is about matching your shirt with your pussy magnet automobile

Newbie badge–that’s to track all of Bexy’s accounts. Think Negs is taking the piss out of you by giving it to you, too, since he knows you paddled out years ago.

Better yet, he can walk around with a bucket of KFC wings and a waterboard tank.
Inside rumor was he tried to get the hell out but Mel Gibson wouldn’t cop any more gasoline.
Hate to do your job for you chas but he has pr not citizenship.
Due to being sentenced for 12+ months jail he’ll be booted once he gets out.
More to come.
I thought this was going too be a story about bra boy koby cheating on the SAS push ups test.
Australia has opened its arms to many immigrants — Lebanese > didn’t that unfortunately cause a big brawl? (But the U.S. got Kelly) Greeks > Caroline Marks. And many Slavs & Croats, without whom there’d be no Morgan Cibilic. Japanese> Conor O’Leary. Jews> Mick Fanning. 🙂
How quickly we forget the leprechaun.
And being run by criminals.
(Says the guy about to walk back to the beach for the second time this morning to check on the 4′ ground swell)…
She was a facilitator.
Steve just took classic rock and roll and let Johnny put the punk into it with the snarled vocal/lyrics. Would argue that for all of the critique of the Sex Pistol’s ouevre, there are very few good covers of their songs ever pulled off, with the exception of very good bands doing the covering.

Nah mate. She has a cousin who has a friend who had a fiancee, but now doesn’t because the vaccine sucked up his swimmers and made his nuts into cantaloupes.
Except for the fact that nobody can find any evidence of anyone, despite searching high and low, experiencing this particular side effect, it sounds legit. That and the 5+ billion doses of vaccine already administered and no reports of that ever happening to anyone else.
Where dis cuzzy at? (Insert joke about WAP here).
And why are we taking epidemiological advice from a rapper, whose main claim to fame is having 18 million followers?
At great risk, I would say a Kiwi would be your bist bit. A much lesser risk taker on here would have said a Welshman.
Yeah but who took it out of the sheep first?
I was at Disneyland with my 6 month old baby. I saw that happy mouse with the big grin on his face all the time. My wife asked me to get a photo of the baby with the mouse. So I gave the baby to the mouse, and do you know what he did? Dropped the baby. Luckily, he had those big shoes on so the baby was fine, crying but not hurt.
But that fucking mouse. He was still grinning like a maniac…
RIP Norm.
“Because the light was on!”RIP.
Better to be on the lam in Australia than behind the sheep in New Zealand
They gave that fucktard citizenship?!? I was a point shy for residency and they told me to fuck off. Interesting immigration system going on down there, not that America is any better.
Pr is easy. That’s why the country is full of 711 workers and uber drivers.
And now Disney’s bringing out the Sex Pistols story in a TV series directed by Danny Boyle.
Poor old Walt would be turning in his grave…
Personally, I have No Feelings about this turn of events. My brain is Pretty Vacant. I’m no Liar, but I have been beaten into Submission by all the ill will Johnny has garnered with his progressive contrarianism. It’s No Fun*, but he’s A Lazy Sod who Did You No Wrong.
*Stooges cover.
Will they add insult to injury and do it in Pixar?
Isn’t walt frozen in a big block of ice?
