Can't find the details, but isn't there a common law precedent involving The Hong Kong Jockey Club that essential boils down to the courts saying "Yeah... sort it out yourselves, we're not getting involved."

Yeah. I worked in IT in the Australian public sector (federal and state) and spent a few years in banking in the UK 25 years ago. The money wasted at the RBS was staggering. Was not surprised when they were caught out in the GFC.

I feel like she still has a tendency to get out to rash T20 type shots. But when you're that talented you have to make it interesting for yourself. Another few years and she will have worked that out of her game. It will be incredible to see.

Creating a playlist for a friend who is about to turn 30. Plan is 30 tracks I heard before my 30th that have stayed with me. Iโm struck by how much of my collection I discovered in my 30s, 40s, and 50s. It seems not all of us indulge in the nostalgia of only listening to the music of our youth.

Many years ago a branch of the Deen family ran a takeaway near the Mt Gravatt mosque. Fabulous food. On the wall was a large photo of a cake with an iced scene - a wrecking ball hitting the Cloudland arch. Took pride in their work.

Always thought that drums were important in evaluating stereo speakers. On good recordings the kick and snare will sit nicely in the mix, the toms will resonate, and the hi-hat and ride will sound like real metal. Ride played by Morello, DeJohnette, or Christensen really shines on great speakers.

And she falls for the classic right-wing misconception that all musicians and actors are fabulously rich. Her mother works the European opera circuit and her father was a small time theatre actor who now manages his wife's career. Hardly the stuff of intergenerational wealth.

The past is immutable. Take lessons from past events, but don't fixate on them. Also, pessimism is a corrosive choice. Choose to believe that a better future is possible and work toward that.

I'm sure they have video of every person who visited Antifa head office. There may be some gaps in the smaller branch office visitor logs - good receptionists can be hard to find.
