Foreshortened image... Kossie is probably a few metres ahead of Farmer.

Yes OD, I’m not confident we’ll get to see safe live football in 2021, but I try to be optimistic regardless. I’m certainly not going to be putting myself at risk by attending games before I’m vaccinated.

Thanks.

Funnily enough, I'm quite confident that we will make finals (and possibly top 4) this year. Still not quite so confident that we'll get to attend many games that involve regular sized crowds; I doubt we'll see normality return until a vaccine has been distributed to the 70% or 80% (I think it is) of the population (I think that is the point at which the risk is supposedly mitigated).

Thanks mate... I'm pretty certain it's something, just what it is, I'm not yet sure. In the words of a former coach, "it is what it is". ?

Yes OD, I'm expecting that is what will happen, but if I live another 30 years on one, I've just about hit the ton, so I'm not sure I want it to be quite that effective ?

Great stuff... I see these guys (North Mississippi Allstars) at Byron Bay Bluesfest a few years ago... another brilliant, yet largely unknown, band.

Absolutely LOVE this... it's like Folsom Prison Blues (melody) on steroids! Your son's a [censored] good guitarist as well!! PS. Nothing wrong with shameless self-promotion... it's the best way to get things out there.

When you thought it couldn't get any ****tier than fires, floods and pestilence, 2020's final gift to me mid December, was a kidney stone. As it turned out, that was a backhanded blessing, as the CT scans detected a growth on the kidney, so my 2021 will begin with a biopsy and then who knows what! I'm with Diamond Jim... can we just skip forward to 2022.

Indeed it is.

Happy New Year and let's hope 2021 has a little less drama... an appropriate tune for the times:

Yet more shameless self promotion... Last Sunday (20th Dec) we (The Branch Covidians) played in an event called COGIG19, which is an online streaming festival running over a period of 19 days and aiming to set a new world record for online acts performing out of one location as a festival; achieved by the middle of the first week. It featured artists from all over the planet. This link is to a YouTube playlist of a half dozen songs, I cut from our stream and edited; hope you enjoy if you feel inclined to check them out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaAej3xGM_ZUSe8n8A5L8GXdEZaJp9KwJ

I think you might be right... great description.

Me to a Tee!

Could you please give me the diminutive form for each? ?

Yes, but Jack is a variant of John, so technically, there are still Johns in the comp ?

As "Jack" is the diminutive form of "John", surely there are more than just Jack Reiwoldt.

We Australians really are a jingoistic bunch... have to have a pithy slogan to unite us for everything, even a major pandemic ?!

lolz

The most disappointing thing for me is that they contain so few photos... surely the official photographer would be shooting hundreds of images, yet they only come up with 16 worth uploading?? Meh!

They kept losing them ??

Where is there any solid evidence that scrutineers were denied access to the counting? I have done a lot of googling and have not been able to find anything that either confirms nor denies it, and definitely nothing that proves it. The fact that his claims have now been rejected by the very Supreme Court that he stacked with his own people, certainly doesn't lend his claims much credence.

Why are we still awaiting the proof P2J? So far the only recounts that have occurred, increased the Dems lead, did they not? It must be getting very lonely in that echo chamber; RUOK?

If there is any fraud, it would most likely not be on any scale that could influence the outcome of the election AND more importantly, it is likely that it would have occurred on both the Democrats' and the Republican's sides, in which case it would probably balance itself out... also, and I may be wrong, but didn't the early recounts that Trump demanded result in the Democrats gaining votes?

My band played this afternoon and we had a few guests sit in, that included Vince, the guitarist from the Hitmen and Psychotic Turnbuckles (for anyone old enough to remember), Chester the singer from the Turnbuckles and Archie the drummer from the Huxton Creepers. This was my first time meeting Archie, but we bonded very quickly upon learning we share a love of the Dees. https://www.facebook.com/100000758763064/posts/3671296886238901/?
