No wonder the statues seem so worried

Why? because last Thursday (Jan 11), someone thought it's funny to pull a hoax on Koszta József primary school (where the statues are), alerting the school of a bomb that didn't exist. A bomb squad was sent from city of Szeged, in vain. Geez, why would someone do such a thing? All we could think of is s/he was trying to avoid sitting for an exam at the school... ????

Headlines delayed (Pt. 2 of 2)

.....continue from part 1

...after taking shots of the flowers, I moved away to my right, not bothering what's going-on on my left side where the 'garbage' truck was. I saw some other interesting subjects, so, I captured some shots in case I might use it for DP. After some minutes, I decided to return to my original waiting place, to my complete surprise .. this was happening

the assumed 'garbage' truck was actually fire engine!!! In fact they were 2 of them!! plus a police car! The whole rescue troop were about 5meters (17ft) away while I was snapping photos of flower?! what's wrong with me?! Thank goodness I'm not a reporter..geez -_-

Apparently the tenant of the flat forgot to switch off the gas. Luckily no one was hurt, thanks to our efficient Fire department.

There you go folks, small town headlines ;)

-the end-

May the best win !

*Imre Szirbik , theTown Mayor*

Just thought this campaign poster is positioned in a rather distracting background , however, very well colour co-ordinated :D . The G Election just ended on Sunday with no majority win in some places..well, more election's campaigning in the next 2 weeks before the second round of balloting :s
