    Where did you get that bit of info from? I just did a bit of googling and could find nothing that claims someone has been paying artists to remove their work from Spotify.

    Oh, I know that... I just like to see what lunacy might come back as a response; I like to sometimes poke the bear. 🤣

    It is common knowledge that RAT is a far from infallible test, so therefore, if a person in aged care has had a negative result but continue to display symptoms, then of course they should be having a follow up PCR test. I doubt very much that ALL who return a negative RAT result are then being given a PCR test. Do you have any irrefutable proof to support your assertion?

    Apart from having ā€˜controversial’ guests recently, Rogan himself has apparently been speaking out against the govt imposed mandates since late 2020. He has made comments suggesting that young people don’t need to vaccinate, something that a person with his platform and with no background in science, should probably not be doing. I’m sure that no small part of the reason that artists are bailing is that Spotify pay the artists using their platform, a pittance in royalties, while raking in big money off their backs. They then turn around and use the money they have earned from those artists and make a $100mil deal to secure Rogan on their platform. Regardless of what Rogan has to say, I think that would be enough reason to walk out on Spotify.
  5. To be fair, Hunt had lost control of the ball while bouncing it, and had to check himself… I don’t think he would have been caught otherwise. Good pace from Kozzy, nonetheless.
  6. After Life Season 3 on Netflix- excellent. Reservation Dogs on Foxtel - fantastic. 100 Foot Wave on Foxtel - terrific. Mandalorian on the Disney Channel - fantastic. Hellbound (Korean) on Netflix - fantastic.
  7. But this particular Sparrow makes me very happy, and makes my whole year, not just the spring of 2021; and that (not really brief but ongoing) period of happiness does in fact make me supremely blessed and happy (though also very hungry for more). Yes, but let's not forget that Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle!
  8. Looks like he’s got a sponsorship from the Tree of Life brand šŸ˜‰ As for the rest, I fear he’s going for the Libba or Charlie Dixon, prison tatt look.
  9. This will help you understand…
  10. and we retained the Ashes in what could best be described as a slaughter.
  11. Let the airing of grievances begin!!

  13. ā€œCharismatic ball skillsā€ā€¦ you’d better trademark that before the commentators get hold of it.

    It doesn’t surprise me in the least. Our so-called ā€˜advanced nations’ have widespread access to a thing called ā€˜the internet’ and that has become the new playground for conspiracists. One can only wonder what the world would be like today if the internet has existed mid 20th century… polio, smallpox, measles, mumps etc etc would have run rampant.

    Also, I believe that AZ has been a not for profit arrangement, although it appears now that they are moving towards small profits while keeping the vaccine affordable: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/astrazeneca-makes-over-1-bln-q3-vaccine-sales-small-profit-2021-11-12/

    At least there is less vaccine resistance where the flu and pneumonia are concerned.

    Not to mention the fact that it also reduces the risk of passing on influenza and other airborne illnesses; the things that have an enormous impact of productivity by loss of man hours, over many many years. People have been wearing masks as a common courtesy in Asian countries for many decades.

    I have the full set on DVD. It is very good, but if you want to get the real nitty gritty on country music, I recommend the podcast Cocaine & Rhinestones which is presented by Tyler Mayhan Coe, son of outlaw country musician, David Allan Coe... it is brilliant. https://cocaineandrhinestones.com/
  19. I first saw that used in the film, Event Horizon. Sam Neill was wearing it on his suit...
  20. Are you suggesting that we become the Bunnings of the AFL?

    Here’s a couple of images that show the style of the artwork, not the actual image I would envisage though… it should be a front on of the gravestone with that hand holding the Sherin, projecting from the ground.
  22. hardtack replied to demon3165's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Can I make a suggestion as I’m unlikely to get a tatt… if anyone is short of ideas, how about a grave headstone done in the style of the old Tales From the Crypt comics (with a skeletal hand reaching out from the grave, holding a Sherin), with the inscription ā€œNorm Smith Curse 1964 - 2021ā€ Either above or below (or even on the Sherin), could be the Melbourne Demons Premiers 2021 line.

    Yeah why not… thanks.

    Mine were ordered directly from the HUN shop via the Good Friday Appeal link. I sent a message to them two days ago, but no response to that either.
