[quote who="sydneysiders" reply="240" id="3812974"] Bondi Beach is in the east....nothing Covid happening up Manly and Northern Beaches....no yuppies spreading it from there....you'll have to keep the yuppies on the backburner to blame for something another day...

I can't believe the selfishness, stupidity and irresponsible behaviour of 3500 - 4000 boofheads in Sydney yesterday, well I can believe it but sure as hell don't understand it. Why would anybody organise and/or attend an anti-lockdown rally and risk the lives of countless others? It's an event that could become a Covid super-spreader, and with the NSW government unable to contain the current crisis, it could spell disaster for the mainland states, even if state borders are closed.

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="238" id="3812826"] One way or another we'll get through it. [/quote] I sure hope so. This pandemic has wreaked havoc on so many communities and economies already, not to mention the families who have lost loved ones, good friends, too. And when so-called experts are saying that it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better, I dread to think they might be right. I may be fully vaccinated but I still worry for friends an

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="230" id="3812186"] I do wish more people would get vaccinated. Seems like we're about due to spawn another variant. [/quote] Yep, everyone should be vaccinated ASAP. As if it wasn't bad enough with the more contagious Delta variant, but a new variant with possible new symptoms should be well and truly enough to get everyone not vaccinated into the vaccination clinics to get their shots. Even though we have had no new cases of Co

I've had both my AstraZeneca shots, neither caused me any pain at the needle site or anywhere else. No side-effects, either. I still don't get these anti-vaxxers peddling so much misinformation to sway people from getting their shots. It makes no sense to peddle fear during the pandemic, but there they are, trying to influence and scare people. Here in Australia we have 4 states where new cases being recorded every day, and it's mostly because of selfish and unruly p

A bloke loses his manhood in an industrial accident and the treating surgeon gave him the bad news that it was too badly damaged to be reattached. "However," the doctor says: " a baby elephant died prematurely at the zoo and I can graft on a piece of its trunk to replace your missing willy." "Okay," the bloke replies: "anything has to be better than no willy at all." With that the surgeon proceeds with the grafting and it was a resounding success, so when the bloke is re

Speaking of golf, Sir Winston Churchill reckoned that 18 holes of golf ruined a good walk, but that didn't deter the young blonde woman who was desperate to play a round with other people instead of alone. She approached three men at the 1st hole and asked if she could join them. The bloke who seemed to be the more senior of the three said that they each had handicaps and that it wouldn't be fair because she appeared to be unencumbered. "What do you men, handicaps? she ask

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="20" id="3811591"] Windows 11 menus and settings look a lot like android. [/quote] Yeah, I thought that when looking at various screenshots online. All in all, Win 11 is a more polished OS to look at than any of its predecessors. I just hope that whatever bugs there may be are gone by the time I'm ready to install. I also hope that the strict system requirements are eased to allow more machines to run it. My

Then there was the blonde woman who was trying desperately to learn to play golf. No matter how she tried, the club's coaches were dumbfounded as to how inept, incapable she was. One suggested after multiple lessons that her only hope was to engage the club professional as her tutor. Upon their first lesson, the professional asked her to tee up and fire on off down the centre of the fairway. After four attempts and the ball still sitting on the tee, he frowned and sa

I recall when I was a lad in England that an Italian family moved into the village. They were nice people but their gorgeous looking daughter had a real funny name.... Fuccerada. It didn't bother me any cos she was a lovely girl with a sweet personality. Thing was, her mother was so protective that Fuccerada and I didn't get to see a lot of each other, not that it prevented us from liking one another anyway....A LOT. Anyway, one day her mother had to go into town urgently,
