Super Thread LXXV: Remembering forgotten memories

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Great, no sport for the weekend, just the shitty Olympics...

Olympics go OK

f**k me, I thought 6th Grade local cricket was a stupid way to spend an arvo. Turns out England doubled down...

Getting my La Vuelta on...

Let's gooooo Roglic!

 

[Bazal]

@Scott Gourley's Lovechild dat Valverde crash OMFGGGGGGGG

 

[Bazal]

The effort just to try an go for another 5 km after that crash....nuts,

 

[Bazal]

And the Aussie wins the stage!

Get in son! Cracking ride....to blow out Verona and Sivakov is a decent effort for any rider. To relegate Sep Kuss to fourth and beat an attacking Romain Bardet and Jack Haig is legit awesome

 

[Twizzle]

TGIS and lol@Souffs

 

[Twizzle]

TGIF and pub tomorrow night

Anyone else out of lockdown tomorrow ?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

While technically I'm not in lockdown, I can actually do everything I need to now that the border bubble for work & teaching is back...

Knowing my luck, the kid who just got diagnosed with COVID in Brissie will lock down all of SE Qld.

Serves Annastacia right though...

Serves Annastacia right though...

she aint very popular this side of the border with so many people living on one side and working on the other, or worse still having a business on the other side where they have had to shut it down or live away from their family

she has done a lot of damage to Queenslanders near the border

She isn't popular on the Gold Coast, or basically anywhere south of the Logan River. Everyone knew it was a pissing contest between her and Gladys, and that Palaszczuk's demands that the border checkpoints weren't feasible to anyone living in Tweed Heads but working elsewhere like Byron Bay or Lismore.

The belief here is that the hard border is purely political. Because the Gold Coast is virtually safe LNP except for Southport, that the Tweed region in State politics is National, and the NSW and Federal govt's are Coalition, Palaszczuk gains nothing politically by assisting the region. Rather, she gains in Brissie and the surrounding regions for Labor due to her "keeping Queenslanders safe" rhetoric.

 

[Twizzle]

she has lifted the restrictions due to public pressure, and I'm guessing pressure from within

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Looks like I'll be heading back to work this weekend...

 

[Twizzle]

we live to fight another day

Theory-heavy uni assessments are lame...
