Hoping that's all it is. Kid doesn't give and inch, need him for the H&A

Kayo came back online and I saw him being helped off. Might just switch it off and check the scores later

Fun fact: TS Eliot added his middle initial to stop palindrome writers taking the piss

Ludicrous.

One of the best, calls what he sees without any bullshit or blokeiness.

Seven really is angling to a blockhead bloke market that is disappearing.
Analysis and clarity is where it's at.

Still, it is the network that resuscitated Hanson and loves #WarCriminal BRS. What should we expect?

Shocking.

It was probably 12-ish years after he left parliament. He was unobtrusive and blended in with all the other senior folks queuing up before doing the Saturday morning shopping. It didn't even click who he was until he said his name.

Opposite of some other former Premiers floating about.

I literally just handballed a footy back to Ruby Tripodi after it bounced over the fence at Arden Street.

I marked John Cain's name off the roll and gave him ballot papers to vote. He was wearing a tracksuit and cap that looked like it had been worn every weekend since Lindsay Thompson was Premier. He was incredibly polite.

I sometimes think that, then I also think of how cooked some of arguments against are, how unpopular the media told us Dan was and how that played out at the last election. 11 seats is a lot to flip, John Brumby territory

It is interesting. Caught up with a friend over Christmas who works with someone with long time links to VicALP. While not panicking, wouldn't say they were washed over with confidence either. Wonder what the internal polling of both is indicating?

Genuinely believe the One Nation surge here an Epstein thing.

There IS a secret club that runs the world and if you're not at the table, you're on the menu

Add into brains thoroughly cooked by social media and boom.

The property I'm renting has been sold & I have to vacate by March 5, but I haven't been able to find a new property. The prospect of being homeless at 80 terrifies me. I am focussing on the Mornington Peninsula, but am willing to consider just about anywhere. If you are aware of something DM me.

I tapped out and cleaned the yard this evening instead of tomorrow after hosting the extended family. Walking inside my wife has switched to a 25 year old movie and is doom scrolling, even though both SOO squads boast players from the team she follows

Watching the intraclub yesterday, got a feeling CZ might be approaching the season with an FU to a few folks, including WA selectors

So The Age has churned out "special series" on exclusive men's clubs, then private golf clubs, now restaurant tycoons. All suitably fawning over supposed powerful elites. Tell you what, why not just save time and do one called "Rich arseholes, and why we suck up to them".πŸ™„

Spot on. I just missed one, barely had time to look around the new station before the next one came along.

My brother is coming around this afternoon who lived and worked in China during the years Downer was Foreign Minister. Might ask him his thoughts after he's had a glass, the ensuring rant will see us to at least sunset.

A 3-Bloke byline piece in Ninefax says Ley was "shrill." Not a quote from an MP the word they chose to use. *Hysterical* was right there lads, why not go hog wild?

Looking at the Downer years now on YouTube is quite the trip down memory lane. Making light of DV was only part of it, the Born To Rule he carried everywhere diluted the whiff of the same that Howard carried as well

"called for an amnesty in investigations for underpayments to allow employers to make adjustments β€œwithout fear of being publicly attacked or fined"."

That's one of the more weasel things I've read in a while.

Worth a read, she writes from the perspective of your everyday non gunzel passenger, but interesting takes on station architecture and food options available πŸ˜€

Plenty of Blue and White on the train from the burbs taking the Metro to Adren St. Parents and kids. Reckon with traffic there'd be a fraction of this without the tunnel.

The salty arguments against are incredibly short sighted.
