A look at an alternative future

Sell out crowds for the first 3 days of the Sydney Test. But it is curious that our major city now has the 2nd smallest capacity stadium of the series.

So apparently one of the light bulbs in one of the towers was found to be only 40 watts, not 60, so understandable they needed to go off.

So the AFL suspend the goal umpire for the rest of the year, including finals. Typical AFL. Sacrifice anyone. Unless you are in their Club, people don’t count. They call it “user error”, therefore nothing to do with us.

Got to train the mind. We are blue, not gold!

Who was the mental giant who decided business shirts no longer need a top pocket?

No faith left whatsoever in the selectors. If they missed how brilliantly Travis Head batted in the past 2 summers, they certainly would have missed how his bowling has improved or that some batsman preferred over him have equally humble records on the sub continent.

So if Optus wanted to do business with a small business imagine the reaction if that small business required the Optus Ceo to give her passport details first?Big business does create their own rules.

So AFL Friday night Football starts ridiculously late for the benefit of TV ignoring anyone else. Wonder how good the ratings will be tonight after half time?#AFLEaglesTigers

I’m not sure Joe Root was a great Teat captain, but I am sure he was placed in an impossible position to succeed.

Close contact rules make small business life bordering on impossible. People who intend to be vaccinated have had ample chance to do so. So what changes in the future? Time to treat people like adults. If you are a close contact with no symptoms, you should be allowed to work!

Have to wonder what Tim Paine is thinking right now.

Leaving Perth after 48 hours of no covid rules dominating our movements. I was in crowded area, ate a buffet breakfast, drank standing up and observed people dancing. I got lucky and dodged catching Covid. Maybe we can stay safe and not have to trash hospitality at same time.

If you want to get to your local and enjoy a beer, a bite and a bet, you know what to do

Would be pretty exciting to go to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. Just hope the QLD/SA border is open by then.

So lockdowns have crushed almost everything except the virus

Big day in WA tomorrow with pubs returning to 100% capacity. South Australia’s health record stands the equal of WA. Looking forward to us returning to full normal trade soon!

An inspired appointment

Cairns is over 1600km from Brisbane but WA closed border to entire QLD based on that one case. Basically Melb is as close to Brisbane as Cairns. I want to be onside but It’s getting harder to understand the logic of this all.

Perfectly summed up Leon. How is it the Federal budget shows a covers that decline in alcohol taxes (despite a rise in tax rate), yet we keep being told how much more we are drinking?
