Your sock appears to have a hole in it.

I had to lol at the RB reference.

Quality thread idea. So my flight to Bangkok got cancelled. I was due to go there on April 6 to my wifes home in rural Thailand. We have been married for 7 years, but i havent seen her since early July last year. Now it looks like its going to be somewhere around 18 months by the time i see her again face to face. Sent emails today to Thai Airways and also for the internal flights airline in the hope of a refund. Cant cancel my leave as the roster is already full. Cant fly to the Brothers place in QLD either as i would be lucky to get there, and almost certain not to get a flight home.. My gym is now closed so i cant go there either. So i called work and told them i am happy to cover any shifts i can during my annual leave if our nurses need extra time off to care for their kids who now have no school to attend. There WILL be some who have to take extra time off now that School isnt an option for the ruggies. Easy to feel sorry for myself, and i did have my moments. Then i remember that my job as a Nurse makes me safe from the threat of job loss. I am even in the position that i could tell my daughter not to worry herself sick about losing her job at Bunnings as i can cover her mortgage until she gets some income. Sure, im also in an industry where my risk of catching "The bug" is fairly high, and i do have a health condition that makes my risk of death from it almost 15%, but hey, it could be much worse. As long as i dont infect my 79-80 Yo. parents with something i bought home from work, it should be ok. Will feel pretty rubbish if i bring home the bug that kills them. So yeah, its crap that i cant see the Wife for ages. What can you do. I feel a lot less sorry for myself when i see the lines at Centerlink on todays news.So many people losing their jobs with 10's or even 100's of thousands of others still to lose theirs. Be nice to your neighbors and dont abuse the poor checkout chick for the 1 pack pasta limit. Its not her fault. Stay classy and look after each other in whatever way you can.

Round 1,2020 and here we are rationalising why we lost. Again. And the club gets annoyed when supporters say "here we go again". Makes sense.

$5 Kayo offer for 2 months. Worst value ever.

"Winning on all levels" Told ya Goody was a fraud.

Relax everyone, only 3 more Quarters and this shocker of a season is over.

So i signed up to Kayo to watch a single match over 2 months today. Damn ? I hope to god we win or i wont even bother with the replay. Pity the poor Aussies who wont have a job in a weeks time.

BY A MILE. This is going to be life-changing for billions around the world. Left v Right has no place here.

The rest of the club certainly take the girls seriously. Loved the excitement, but the social spacing needs some work.

How do you sign up for this? I cant find a link on the MFC website.

Someone said no ?? Must be a very young Dees supporter to not want a premiership. I will happily take it. Be great for membership and sponsors in 2021, just when we are looking to recover all the money we lost this year.

AFL loves being in the news so this is probably manna from heaven for them. Delay, delay, delay.... find a scapegoat because you are too weak to make a decision and wear the negative blowback... announce season will be delayed and say its all about player/staff safety (When, if this was their priority, would have led to a delay announcement several days ago). Upset "broadcast partners" Upset "Gaming partners" Money. Still, i hope the season starts tomorrow, just because im selfish.

GFC we are reduced to "What if" threads...

I know its totally selfish, but geez i hope they play. Its not just me is it?

This is the main reason that Governments are reluctant to close Schools. I am a nurse in Aged care, where the nursing workforce tend to be significantly older than other nursing units. I can confidently state that even at my facility, the closing of schools would have a dramatic effect on our available workforce, not just the nurses but also Kitchen staff and cleaners. Cleaners will be particularly busy in this event. The problem is much worse in general nursing wards, and especially dire in places like Emergency wards when the proportion of medical and Nursing staff with school aged kids is much higher than in Aged care. The staff wont want to leave their little germ factories with Nan and Pop for obvious reasons, so they will just call in sick. You only have to see what happens in our business every time School holidays comes around. "Sick leave" increases substantially. Children seem to be much less at risk from this virus for unknown reasons, and closing Schools will have huge ramifications for the health profession. I reckon it will have to be a last resort move by Governments.

The amount of posters i have on ignore grows by the day when reading this thread. Have some [censored] empathy with your fellow humans you heartless bastards. (Some of you i mean) This is a worldwide problem and EVERYONE is going to feel its consequences in either a health and/or financial way. Nobody is an island and the chances are that the person you are abusing today will be the one you are relying on tomorrow. FFS people, stop the pathetic political point-scoring and just get around each other. I cant stand SJW's usually, but i will completely ignore a persons political leanings when push comes to shove. This bug isnt asking who you barrack for before it infects you. If ANYTHING should be bringing us together its this absolute disaster. That so many are trying to score political points in this thread disgusts me. We are all human beings with the same needs and frailties as everyone else. If you need help, we should all be prepared to offer what assistance we can. Think about your next post before you press send.

You are showing ZERO class in this thread matey. If your mother saw your posts she would probably put you across her knee. DD said nothing in this thread to deserve your childish carry on, and to ignore the guts of his reason for not caring too much about footy right now is staggering. Give it a rest.

Im booked to fly to Thailand on April 6. Checked the Thai Airways website tonight and see the same flight from Melbourne one week earlier has been cancelled already. Havent seen my wife for 10 months by the time my holiday comes around, so i am a bit on edge about flights being cancelled before i go. If i cant go now it will be another 6 months before i can get holidays again. Maybe more. Too late to reschedule my leave, so it just goes up in smoke if i cant fly. Footy being cancelled would be a kick in the guts, but i am more concerned with seeing Angkana this year. Whats the feeling in Thailand atm?

Taded it to Norf !!

We got 2 for the price of 1. Both wings have been filled so we can look at other areas of need, or re-sign a couple of our guns who might have walked for better coin elsewhere. Sometimes you have a win, even when it looks like you lost.

Unfortunately the cluib also did that to a good many players HT.
