don't get the reference.

She gamed the end of the world scenario to her advantage. Or at least was conniving to.

I'm supposed to be going camping down south (Wave Rock and Hopetoun) on Saturday, am I mad if we still go?

Safe as houses.

Isolation? Check
Provisions? Check (presumably)
No flights involved? Check.

Got the TP packed.
On a serious note it's a shame with everything going on, we were planning on really supporting local businesses while we were down there but I'm not sure how welcome out of towners will be buying stuff in the local IGA.

Just don't turn up in a bus with 50 other people, you'll be right.

Not a fan?
Only staying there for a couple of nights to break up the trip down a bit. I've been before but we only had a couple of hours of daylight there before we moved on.

Just don't stockpile like mad, they can't stop you from grabbing essentials if you're passing through

It's not even that I'm worried about them stopping us, just worried that we'll be taking food or supplies that someone else down there genuinely needs while we're running around being tourists.
Might just eat really unhealthily and have take away every night.

Valid point, maybe just scope it out when you get in there. If there’s plenty of stock I wouldn’t stress too much, we get deliveries every 2 days here and I live in whoop whoop, they probably get deliveries every 2 days as well

Yeah true, our IGA out here has been fairly well stocked. Had a few city people buy them out one day on the weekend but other than that they've been good apart from the lack of toilet paper, tissues and hand sanitiser that everyone is out of.

Bojack Horseman. That is all

I love Bojack but I'm not sure it's a self isolating show.

 

[Ochre]

Now if you want a proper quarantine show. Survivor, 40 seasons, ~12 hours a season without ads, add in another ~100 hours from Australian Survivor, few more days from NZ and South Africa and you're set til 2023.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Good thing about watching Survivor is the self quarantine lasts forever because nobody wants to speak to the person who watches Survivor in 2020.

 

[larrikin]

Might have to reactivate Stan.

Desperate times...

Not many shows last 5 years, both Aus and US Survivor still rating well 20 years after the first US season.

Then as a bonus feature, you can then read the Survivor thread and watch us go at it about Dave/AK.

Isolation sorted.

Nothing says “I’m comfortable with the quality of this show and not embarrassed by it at all” like immediately freaking out and leaping to its defence.

Sorry pal, Survivor’s trash.

 

[happy_eagle]

With almost every other sports league down at the moment, have the AFL missed an opportunity to push for global tv rights ?

I'm sure ESPN US would love any live sport at the moment. Similarly Sky Sports UK

I think that’s been a big factor in then starting the season. They don’t want to blink before the NRL. I wonder when the US will start showing it on one of their weird ESPN4’s or some such.
