    This one cracked me up B^)

    Also highly contagious is kindness, patience, love, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude. Don’t wait to catch it from others...be the carrier!

    I certainly support that one.
    Of course if we can do without them for 30 days, clearly we don't need the rabble rousing lying pricks at all.

    Also support the Celebs and sport stars position.

    Always asking the Daughter, " Who the hell are they when they are at home?" Get a retort about how can I not know who they are? They are famous! I ask " For what"?
    Half the time I get a convoluted answer. I reply " so they are famous for screwing around with some Bimbo/ for no discernable reason than they are famous for being... Famous or,,,,, They are famous because they play games and that's their sole contribution in life?"

    Of course I'm just old and uncool and don't get it.

    Damn right I don't get it!

    We have all sorts of businesses labelled as "non essential" and unable to trade. To my way of thinking, the news media is non essential, but presumably because of the "need" for politicians to speak and be heard, the news media is going about its business. Where are all the stories not related to COVID-19? We're not being made aware of them.

    I'm particularly dark on the ABC for ditching Saturday morning's Rage so that we can have yet more COVID-19 news rammed down our throats. The ABC has a dedicated news TV channel, a dedicated news radio station AND a whole section of its web site dedicated to the subject for all the news junkies. There is no need to bump the regular programs on ABC1 for yet more news.

    I'm also bemused that the usual sport shows are still running, despite there being very little actual sport being performed for them to talk about.

    need to learn how to spell, for starters! "Bare" with me! Indeed! If she is good looking, maybe, but I'm not baring anything until she can bear the load!

    I liked the Credit for the article at the end:

    Working both as a TV documentary director and journalist for 25 years, he published in 2016 La Déprogr@mmation (in french only) about media disinformation, and his second book Wars and Lies will come out in 2018 with the Progressive Press label.
    WILL come out in 2018?
    Progressive press Label?
    More like REGRESSIVE press press to be given they are 2 years behind the times!

    Actually, Quick search couldn't find mention of the book so either it's coming out in 2028 or it never came out at all. Given the above article, I tend to favour the latter scenario.

    One of the bed wetters media favourite wowser subjects, Hoons. Yeah well it may not be the brightest thing to do but at least they were not endangering the public by racing up and down streets where there was anyone other than those that wanted to be there.

    So $1300 fine for being in a group..... But this morning people were still piling into buses and trains in Brisbane and on the goldy right?

    What a complete and utter crock of shit. Seems to me to be nothing more than revenue raising . Ping them for the hooning but the China Virus aspect is bullshit.

    Exclusive: A global betting exchange is now letting gamblers punt on how much the value of your property could plunge during a likely coronavirus recession.


    Betfair opened up the markets this weekend, claiming "customer demands" had prompted it to offer betting on eight Australian cities.

    Customers can wager on quarterly positive and negative fluctuations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart, Darwin and Canberra.

    ...they're not missing a trick, are they....

    I had a feeling that was a crap link, so didn't read it until someone said it was worth it.
    Thanks for saving me the time Al.

    Just finished watching the HBO series "Chernobyl" again

    I can certainly recommend anyone reading this thread give it a re-watch

    The parallels are uncanny

    I don't agree with the hooning , but I also don't agree with the $1100 fines being handed out . I reckon all these fines are going to be contested in court anyway. That will clog the courts big time !!!

    i agree with the fines , they asked you to stay home unless you really need
    to go out. Its so easy to say but this that and the other but until you are effected
    by the virus you wont change your mind and i hope you dont have a reason to change your mind
    but do so because you can see why they have asked.

    i have lost 1 relative to it in italy and my niece who works as a health
    professional at westmead hospital is sick as a dog in quarantine

    If we just put the brakes on for a sec and recall all the cool dudes in our teenage years the heros of the day were the ones who had the skills to make their HOON car and they turned out to be the ones who now fix our cars when the stealerships rip us off with incompetent mechanics who drive a 1974 vaxhall viva so crush their cars is a fools errand we need these guys to improve society thats where the future improvements come from !!! where did the turbo charger come from ???? the real answer is a hoon saw it and said shit man i could fit that to my car by doing this and this yeah good one the industrial use of turbos no longer the only reason to have a increase in power from the same engine and cheaper than those who fitted superchargers . The next consideration is what harm to society do the cause ? a bit of noise ! black marks on the tarseal so i ask you why complain or didnt you have a hero HOON in your Hood ???
