Interesting how the media polarizes certain people.

Even more interesting is discovering that you are a Guardian reader.

As am I. What of it?

Me too. I like the Guardian.

As to the second bit - the 'what of it?' bit, nothing really. Im pretty much free associating aloud on your time. I'm always vaguely surprised to come across regular Guardian readers. I thought I was part of some kind of special group containing me and nobody else, (though why I thought that when it's clearly unlikely the Guardian remains viable with an audience of me only is anyone's guess).

Used to be a good read, just clickbait shite with a little more polish now.

I can't leave them now that I've persuaded myself that they are fearless warriors for justice though. Plus the day I unsubscribe will be the same day they will break some mega story and I'll miss it.

I'm the opposite. The writing is mostly tedious and pedantic, and the only interesting reading is the BTL comments tearing most articles to shreds.

You're on the internet - you'll do well to miss the trivial nonsense let alone the big stories.

I think I struggle to tell them apart.

BTW - don't think I failed to notice your mastery of what was probably the most elegant straw man type of derail ever seen on Bigfooty. Your gifts are wasted on the indiscriminate jabber thread. You should be some type of campaign propagandist or selling online insurance or something.

Any of the others are fine, even president of the US but.....

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Making the call now. Carlton women's team to win tonight and to go all the way. They seem a strong side

Played very well last night. Their defence is so miserly. I'm no fan of Carlton but it was nice to see Collingwood take their place in footy history by being the inaugural losers. Haha.

Didn't think about that. I'm ok with this

I feel like I'm heading to the footy when actually I'm going to see Bruce Springsteen. Weird. At least I don't have to go home after a loss to the Saints though.

Can't wait

Springsteen was awesome! Didn't think much of the venue, but he gave it everything for three hours straight!

Were you the lucky one in the crowd who caught his walking stick?

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

Haha no. I reckon the crowd were in need of a lie down before he even came on, but if I can rock at his intensity when I'm 67, then I'll be very happy.

Agree. Amazing stuff. I don't mind Springsteen but I probably wouldn't have thought to have gone but for it being a gift idea for my partner's birthday. That plus I have heard such rave review from previous performances in Australia. But it really was an incredible performance. I truly didn't notice the time pass. After it finished I suddenly realised I was ****ing starving though.
