Vaccine programmes suffering from the effects out political class losing the trust that was in them.

Matt Le Tissier Post of the year right there

It’s entertaining enough even if it’s not proper drama, unlike the football equivalents the people in this are allowed personalities

Drive to Survive is such great content. When I was a kid watching my dad watch F1 felt like torture, I’ve always had a brain that jumps from thing to thing quite impulsively so whilst I’ve always liked elements of F1, Monaco Grand Prix for example, I’ve never been able to get into it. But since watching Drive To Survive something just clicked, it’s incredibly well put together for someone who generally has little interest and easily introduces you to the wide range of elements that go into F1 from the drivers, to the teams, to the mechanics, the tracks, everything. There’s so much drama going on too, the programme is really good at encapsulating good drama. But yeah I’m not entirely sure I’ll end up an avid F1 fan but the series has certainly brought a level of enjoyment for the sport that I didn’t realise I had before. Also I’m only on series 1 so got a lot of watching to do before the new season starts.

From what I gathered there was an element of forced assimilation though not as blatant as before as you'd just not get away with that so openly now, but it's been a while since I've read into it

The child removal is an interesting point, when I done a research project for college I done it on the stolen generation and there were quite a few articles pointing to numbers suggesting that numbers are as high now or higher in terms of indigenous children being removed from their families.

Yeah I definitely noticed that when I lived there, especially the discrimination regarding drug and alcohol usage too. Remember chatting to two lads from Perth when I was in NZ and within about a minute they mentioned the “problem with aboriginals” when talking about Perth. Felt like such a weird thing to randomly bring up. Obviously there’s a difference in how Australia was colonised compared to how New Zealand was and the levels of violence used but it feels crazy to think that it feels like there’s a good chance that within my life time New Zealand will just be called Aotearoa and the NZ Maori language will be much more embedded into their culture than it is already and what it is at already is light years beyond what you see in Oz.

Yeah completely understand the rejection of Australian identity from indigenous peoples, was more talking from the perspective of how their existence is generally forgotten about from the outside.

Convict feels like something a Cricket fan would say, bald headed, sunburnt and wearing a horrific pair of shorts. The whitewashing of Australia is quite surreal even in this day of age, thousands of years of culture in Australia and people's minds swing straight to convict. Even away from the whitewashing, the convicts were essentially used for slave labour and whilst some would have been serious criminals, I'd bet a lot were arrested on petty stuff to provide supply for the labour demand the expansion of Australia required. On a side note I went to an old prison settlement on Sydney Harbour and the conditions they lived in were genuinely horrific

So once again anyone who works in events, entertainment, hospitality etc are going to get fucked over by the Govt's inability to avoid people pleasing

Christian Norgaard with the most tackles of any player this season. The man is rock solid

We are apparently trying to sign Vanderson from Gremio who is a 20 year old Brazilian right back. No idea if he’s good or not but a position we need to strengthen and apparently someone Arsenal were interested in pre-Tomiyasu

Oh right ok, weird one tbh. Our players do a lap of honour win, lose or draw.

Why would people be laughing atm?

What have I missed?

There’s slightly more to it I believe

I can’t remember who said it but someone on TikTok made a video about how you can literally turn your oven into an air fryer

They had one less than Arsenal, the perennial once or twice a decade title winners until they moved into the new stadium. Completely agree with this and disagree with @The Palace Fan, Everton aren't like Derby, Forest or Leeds. They are much bigger and have every right to wonder why the likes of Arsenal and United took off past them and they turned into a midtable club. I think if you're born in the 90s it's easy to view Everton as a medium sized club in that of Leeds or Newcastle, but they are essentially the 3rd biggest club in the country just ahead of Spurs not including the oil rich clubs. They should be better and the fans have every right to complain at any of the leadership that is keeping them as a middling club in this division.

Yeah series 4 I think for me was almost the undoing of Dexter. It was so good but also they went so far in the direction that he wouldn’t be getting caught that there was no turning back and that also the other available storylines just weren’t up to scratch with that series. The ending to that series was so good thinking about it still makes me feel shit haha

Thomas Frank talking about the Arsenal game on the Coaches Voice

I went off the older series before this reboot, was amazing to watch to a point and then the storyline just became sterile.

This is just general Australian policy

Roman’s plaything it is then

You’re very good at receiving money

I used up my quota of pleasantries on @DeadLinesman, but in fairness whilst they are digs they are also completely correct
