Re: Missing Irish Woman in Melbourne- RIP Jill Meagher

One of the 'precautions' I took is to have an Acme Thunderer whistle on my key ring & always have it ready to use, another item on my key ring is a pair of tiny folding & very sharp scissors - if ever I did feel in the slightest bit concerned, I'd unfold them & have them to hand in a pocket...

Luckily, I escaped unscathed & the attacker was c...
