Non Footy Chat Thread II

My argument was that we should follow the rules, but that most people don't give a damn about that.

I agree entirely with that. Most people only care if they see someone else cheating the system. Particularly someone more privileged.

I believe there is a term for it. Tall Something Syndrome.

Make an egg and bacon sanga for yourself. With your top notch cooking skills you could do that in your sleep.

I just found some left over pasta in fridge and am zapping it.

*Ploppy. I'm sure you can relate.

BBQ Hawaiian with chicken pizza. One of my favourite pizzas now comes in frozen form. It will probably be a let down.

Can you remember the first time that you had pizza? If you can, what toppings were on it?
My first ever pizza was at Parra Pizza Hut back in the 70's. Ham and pineapple. It was like getting your first f**k all over again.

I don't but there's a pretty good chance it was a Hawaiian from Pizza Hut.

You had your first f**k before your first pizza?

The 70's were a hell of a time.

A different perspective

In praise of Novak Djokovic

Like you, I am hugely enjoying the Novak Djokovic drama Down Under. What’s not to like? It is extremely funny. Quite possibly the world’s healthiest man has been deemed a danger to public health in a nation where two thirds of adults are overweight or obese by a government that has, at various...

My favourite part of the article

‘Quite possibly the world’s healthiest man has been deemed a danger to public health in a nation where two thirds of adults are overweight or obese by a government that has, at various points over the last two years, done a more than passable impression of having gone completely nuts.’

You fat f**king skips are just a bunch of sheep.

Its a similar argument to ones that I have seen the likes of Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro make.

There is some merit to it. Alot of what has happened in the last couple of years has been fairly heavy handed and at times an uneccessary level of Government intervention given the risk.

But...(you knew there was a but). I think he's making a point that IALB and I were discussing. Thats been the situation for everyone. Generally speaking it isnt easy in this country for unvaccinated people to have the same freedoms as vaccinated people. In fact, some may say its impossible.

On that basis, it isnt surprising that Novak has run into the same problems. Throw in the fact that he is famous and there was public backlash about his arrival early on and its obvious why it has happened. Up until 2 days ago being 'tough on COVID' was politically advantageous. Its helped a couple of state governments get re-elected, why not the Feds?

Not a good look now but something that ScoMo thought would work. I would love to have seen his smug face when he realised public opinion started to shift towards Novak.

Seriously Gaz, I just can’t cop Morrison at all. I haven’t despised anyone more since Kevin Rudd the sequel.

 

[Gronk]

I sense some veiled racism. That’s fine, I’m used to it.

Nooo. I’ve been married to the serbian world for 30 years. The amount of times I’ve seen a random Uncle Milosh throw a drunken “he’s dead to me” comment and nek minute they are best friends .. it’s hard for me to keep up. So I don’t bother and just my wife for an update. Flip floppers the lot of yas.

 

[strider]

when did public opinion shift towards novak?

I'm not a fan either. There isn't really anything redeeming about him tbh. I voted for the merkin though, Might potentially vote Labor at the election which would be the first time since 1996.

Just because I’d kill you than speak highly
of you and deliver a fine eulogy at your funeral does not make me a flip flop.

 

[Gronk]

He said he would.

 

[Gary Gutful]

When the Aus Govt intervened publicly.

I said 'shifted towards'. I didnt say 'shifted in favour'.

The thought process that @Avenger went through is one that I believe plenty of others went through as well. Its still not the popular view though. Fully accept that.

as if a labor govt would have done anything better .... the imbecile dan has been a 24 carrat merkin - yet the complete nutters from WA and the NT make him look half sane
