I think Cuomo in NYC got it right in appealing for everyone to work together and observe social distancing. Others who dive for political outrage and other popular goals has me rolling my eyes. Tackling a virus by calling it the invisible predator through the media is very sad fake news. It is a vir...

Fatigue is a killer on the highways too Peter. For longhaul truck drivers who do not stop for scheduled breaks, and spend 5 days driving for 14 hours a day, an accident is just a couple of seconds of lost concentration away. I saw a photo of a British woman who had just come off a 48 hour shift in h...

Damn Sorus, I remember a conversation in the past fortnight with some friends and colleagues - when we were anticipating really bad Covid19 numbers in Australia - where the conversation kept coming back to the socioeconomic fallout and the lengths that people will go to and what the distraction woul...

If this lockdown stuff was a movie I would have changed channel by now.

Been getting it loud in the shed.

Stuck at home, it is amazing how many things I am seeing which require attention or repair. I struggle with painting the house. I make a mess looking at work really. One day. One day i will paint the house. It will be soon. It will have to be. Otherwise the missus may trade me in. Gees, things were ...

I hope you followed it up with a dance of distraction! Haha

Easter is nearly here. It feels like it has crept up on us. Our family has been eating a seafood lunch in one of two restaurants on Good Friday for over 20 years now. We are not particularly religious, although i recently learnt what the word "apostate" meant. I reckon this year will be a ...

Thanks SD. God bless her cotton socks.

I already miss being able to go to the pub on a friday night.

Hello Av. All the best! I am working from home most of the time. The domestic transport and logistics world is facing its challenges but I am helping and herding by phone. I never liked airports anyway. If I was not so concerned about the health of my extended family I would be enjoying the time spe...

Hi all, hope you are all well and safe.
Feels like I am (everyone is) living a story John Wyndham thought up.
Gotta do some reading catch up.
Have been busy.
Must admit I started March a little complacent. Now level 4 beckons.
Worry for my folks.
Anyway, bless you all...

Hope you guys are all keeping well. I have been busy, for the most part, which is good. My best mates brother - whose family I love - lost his son, killed in a car crash. It hurt. Anyway, we all make comebacks,.... or we should I hope. I think Israel Folau needs a slap. . . . But persecution? I dunn...

I always thought that a good pain comparison was if it is like slamming your fingers in the car door.
Or maybe a big or small compound fracture.
But leave me out of that giving birth stuff!

It would seem that any time someone with the will and possibly capacity to explore both sides gets painted as being a spreader of evil for THAT side by the other side.
Gotta love the media.

Antifa is far left. Around socialist. Hitler was a national socialist. Communism is far left. Facism is said to be on the right. Though some contend that the Democrats in America are slouching Towards facism. As to religion, which? Catholicism is somewhat left, the Evangelicals are right. Jews vote...

I think using the word LEFT as a bracket to parcel people into is as myopic as saying Hitler was a RIGHTIST. It may be easier to circle democrats and republicans into left or right, but it just does not add up to me. Is there a far left, and then a dirtier far left? Where does ANTIFA fit, or communi...

I think I have a large dose of capitalist in me, but my heart moderates it. Happy with that balance. As a young fellow growing up in the city proper I was served by a trait of being able to smell shit coming around the corner. That trait softened a lot when our kids arrived on the scene. Still, I am...

Cail, you are saying it does not affect many people so it does not matter.
There are still people it does affect and no amount of pro Trump pontificating changes that.

There is not a lot of the human story in this thread behind the shutdown. The number of staff as employees and their affected families must amount to nearly 1 per cent of the population. It is not like they are a demographic which has 6 months wages tucked away. This is an example of how this partic...

I am hoping for a Chiefs and Saints SB.
It would be great to see KC win one.
But Tom and Bill wont make that easy either.
Somehow, and I thought Brady was finally showing signs of age, the Patriots will be there when the whips are cracking.
