Been fine for a number of days (once I cleared all my cookies) - I use Safari.

Interesting question DWF . . . and I appreciate you're not implying anything . . . best to try and analyse. Here in Oz we were always fortunate by being an island continent and we managed to shut the borders pretty quick. It then was a case in ensuring the quarantining of returning people from...

Incredibly, with 20 completed games in the EPL, there hasn't been one draw yet.

Interesting numbers DWF . . . for comparison here in Oz: Victoria - population 6.5 million, cases 20,129 = 310 per 100,000 Deaths 782 = 3.9% of all cases In Melbourne, Victoria: For months now (since March), Melbourne residents have been in effective home detention, most businesses having been...

All spot on mate ! The State Health Minister was always clearly out of her depth, but it goes far deeper than that. With the inquiry we’ve had into the botched hotel quarantine we’ve had a conga line of ministers, bureaucrats and the Premier saying “I know nothing” or “I can’t recall”. It’s...

Yes that's about right - Victoria has accounted for 90%+ of all COVID-19 related deaths in Australia. The issue has been the bungled hotel quarantine which has caused the 2nd wave. Up to the end of June there had only been 19 deaths in Victoria, so over 750 since then, of which 98% have been in...

Melbourne has a population of approx. 5.5 million and for Victoria it is 6.5 million (about a tenth of the UK). In terms of land area Victoria is only slightly smaller than the whole of the UK.

Well it just gets even more surreal here in Melbourne - if you recall the Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise movie Minority Report . . . Consider the latest and most alarming push by State Premier Dan Andrews for even more complete power and control over every aspect of the lives of Victorians –...

Spot on VanWolfie ! unfortunately I like you phrase "friendly fascism". It's no longer a matter of left-wing or right. Here in Melbourne/Victoria the state govt. is far-left, whereas in the UK you have a supposedly right-wing Govt. Both are unfit to be in govt. with their trampling of civil...

He was the villain in Moonraker - Curt Jurgens was the villain in The Spy Who Loved Me. Lovely character actor - was terrific as the French chief inspector in The Day Of The Jackal.

Yup that's right ! We're currently running at around 15-20 per day (in the last week).

FFS, you guys in the UK are heading down towards the horrific Melbourne experience . . . https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/09/22/we-need-to-take-back-control-from-the-government/ The slogan used in Oz is "We're all in this together" . . . what a load of fucking bollocks (here or anywhere else...

The issue here in Melbourne is that the 2nd wave was caused by the ineptness of the State Govt. Being an island continent one of the things we had to get right was quarantining returning travellers from overseas. In Victoria the Govt refused the use of the army and the police and used private...

I didn't know that about Ings and now he's an international. Still it can be hit and miss, a lot depending on the treatment, but given our club's backroom staff record in recovery for our squad you'd be pretty confident we will see Jonny back to this best.

Seeing that COVID-19 is moving to a new phase in the UK, rather than de-rail the thread with what is happening in Melbourne, I thought I'd start a new thread. I have to admit my sanity has been severely tested, where I and my family are now living in a defacto police state, where we have been...

Keep well mate . . . I know it's not easy . . . I'm starting to go a bit pear-shaped myself in our hell for a considerable time.

2 weeks ! ! ! We’ve been in lockdown/curfew in Melbourne for 11 weeks with at least another 5 to go ! ! ! And I’m going fucking bat shit crazy being under house arrest.

Yeah I noticed that as well - although I missed the first 30 minutes as I slept through my alarm clock at 3am !

That's a steal !

Well the latest outrage in Melbourne . . . Victoria Police deliberately strike mentally ill man with police car before stomping his head https://goodsauce.news/victoria-police-deliberately-strike-mentally-ill-man-with-police-car-before-stomping-his-head/ The police version: “Upon arrival the...
