5 of 20 on the bulldogs, even 1 on the freakn jets…

but nothing on the raiders securing top spot for the next two weeks and actually looking like they could scrape a minor premiership (and after the last two weeks I do mean scrape)

I always enjoy the 20 thoughts each week but cmon..!

Coal industry-funded group deletes social media posts after AEC intervention A coal industry-funded group campaigning against progressive candidates in the federal election has deleted two months of social media posts after being pulled up by the Australian Electoral Commissio...

The Liberals have been running a scam group funded by the coal lobby.
They say "We believe that the right to govern comes from the people, not from the elites"
Yet it is run by former Liberal MPs including the bloke I ousted

Gin botanicals (heather flower, hawthorn berry and lemon myrtle) being mixed in preparation for making pot still gin

Gin prep - smelling *pretty* good

That’s interesting when you look at the near-record crowds for GIO and Belmore… means some pretty poor showings at the other fixtures

A deceptively innocent looking cicada sitting on my be-jeaned knee just seconds before attacking

Shot taken in the spirit of awe just seconds before this vicious evil cicada stuck its razor-sharp proboscis deep into the flesh of my knee.

I’d 100% be the guy in the sci-fi film looking up close and going “awww look at this cute little alien worm thing” before it ate my face off.

Grew up in Canberra in the heady days of the late 80s, got swept up - was in Canberra Youth Theatre in the early 90s and got to go out on Bruce stadium and operate a giant Raiders puppet pre game, dunno if the crowd loved it, but we thought is was bloody great stuff. Now indoctrinating the kiddoes.
