Only in Australia!
Well maybe not - however this did happen in Sydney, Australia and has had me laughing ever since I first saw it this morning! It's a great way to start our day - however it wasn't such a great day for some:
Police said the robbers raided the Regents Park Sporting Club in Sydney's west about 8.50pm yesterday, ordering people at the bar to lie
on the floor.
But the robbers failed to notice 50 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club enjoying a drink in the nearby auditorium.
Quotes from Jerry:
"Fifty of us jumped out of our seats and raced out to the main bar," said club president Jerry "Jester" van Cornwall. [...] "He came out the door wielding what I thought was a tyre lever, but was
actually a samurai sword. I raced in and tackled him to the ground, footy-style, onto the concrete," Jester said.
Biker club founder "The Bear" said the robbers appeared to have regretted attempting the heist as soon as they saw the bikers. [...] "It was very hard to see the expression on their faces because of the
balaclavas, but I imagine it was something along lines of 'Oh shit,
what have we done here?' " [...]
The clumsy robbers appeared to "failed robber school", Jester said. Bikers were club regulars

Swan, I like this story. I would be so scared if I saw all those bikers come running after me! Serves him right though! It would be good if we could upload the image here for everyone to watch too!

Hello Amy,
I guess Jordan fulfilled your wish for you and uploaded the movie for me. I'd been trying all day but for some reason I'm having the devil of a time downloading Youtubes lately.
Thanks for the GS flag Amy!
Even though he didn't make a comment, I'd like to thank Jordan for the upload. :)
