    Lucy Hornby<br><br>
    China is known for its knock-offs: from clothes and toys to DVDs and counterfeit banknotes. Now a fake branch of China Construction Bank in Shandong province has joined the ranks of a “flagship” Apple store and a home-made branch of Ikea.<br><br>
    One of the world’s largest banks became the latest victim of an elaborate fake after a local man set up a branch of its bank complete with card readers, passbooks and three teenage girls at the teller counter.<br><br>
    The convincing-looking “ghost bank” near the city of Linyi joins some of China’s more impressive scams. These include the fake army officers who wander the nation collecting bribes, the soft drink vendor who faked his own death to get compensation from the local city government and the Chinese rice trader who claimed to buy an American bank that did not, in fact, exist.<br><br>
    The fake bank lasted a month before a local woman who had deposited Rmb40,000 ($6,200) discovered she was unable to make withdrawals at a real branch of China Construction Bank. Managers there detected the “fake” deposit and alerted police.<br><br>
    Officers discovered a man, surnamed Zhang, had set up the bank and staffed it with his 15-year-old daughter and two of her classmates, according to Lanling County police spokesman Mr Song.<br><br>
    “If someone came requesting to withdraw the money, they would say that their network hadn’t been established yet, or that the authority hadn’t finished approval procedures,” Mr Song said. “They wouldn’t allow people to withdraw money.”<br><br>
    Mr Zhang told a reporter from Shandong Television he had formally applied to join a commercial bank network but had not been approved. “I just wanted to open a bank,” he said in a television interview from behind bars. “I didn’t think that much about it.”<br><br>
    A China Construction Bank media relations official said the bank had an “application process that’s fairly complex” for new branches. She said she was not aware of previous cases of unauthorised branches.<br><br>
    Mr Zhang is not the first person to do this. A rural co-operative near the city of Nanjing last year upgraded itself into a bank and attracted $32m in deposits by promising interest rates as high as 2 per cent a week. A businessman reported it in January after the “bank” would not allow him to withdraw his savings.<br><br>
    Mr Zhang told the TV station he had returned his depositors’ money.</blockquote>

    <p>800 free condoms with kiwifruit strawberry flavoured lube left over from a party, I think it was the invite to help use them that probably got the listing taken down.</p>

    <p>Case in point - look at this fuckwit. Nova Peris is an ex-Olympian (hockey - first ATSI person to win a gold medal as part of the 1996 tilt, and some C'wealth gold as a runner) who went into politics. Now a Senator in the NT.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>She copped some facebook shit from a redneck and decided to stick that shit on social media. Good on her.</p>

    <p>Green Tree Frogs are cute as fuck, and pretty common, especially during summer. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Damn sight better than the fucking cane toads. Cane toads are gross little leathery fuckers. Fly quite far from good connection with a 3-wood though. </p>

    <p>Mum said that the last few years, as the Cane Toads have moved south, the number of green tree frogs has plummeted.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The kids n her little town run around on summer evenings with golf clubs and cricket bats, smacking Cane Toads to death. Hilarious fun.</p>
