So really Lebbo is being good and following the rules despite him thinking he's being a cool rebel?

As long as I understand it correct and he isn’t a resident of Victoria, then yes.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Or it’s worse than that. Lebbo thinks he is golfing but he really isn’t. Yikes!

He's playing Tiger Woods golf on his PlayStation.

Just read that the Michael Jordan/Chicago Bulls 1997/98 documentary titled “The Last Dance” is set to air on Netflix on April 19th (moved forward from June). It’s a 10 episode series and will air 2 episodes every week. Can’t wait!

OMG! Tiger Woods 08 was awesome.
My brother rage quit so many times cos you could literally spin the ball in any direction.

You’re out playing golf and flouting the rules which is precisely the reason why countries won’t relax these rules and sports won’t be coming back. Hilarious to think that Liverpool might not be crowned PL champions because of people like you.

According to you. I don’t live in Dan’s Victoria mate.

 

[Lebbo73]

No, you are acting like a selfish man.

If you believe that obeying draconian rules under a Police State is selfish, you need to re-evaluate what type of world you want to live in.

Do stop posting about Liverpool, there are other things to discuss in the off topic thread!!

The prospect of 90 days of Stage Three restrictions is daunting, but there are good reasons to believe we could bring cases down to zero earlier than that. The University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne models simulate enough spatial distancing to halve the number of coronavirus cases roughly every 16 days. But for the past week Australian cases have been halving every 4.2 days. Even if that trend slows over the next few weeks, there’s a real prospect that many states could begin easing spatial distancing as early as May, with a clear plan in place by Anzac Day.

Getting from ‘nearly 0 cases’ to 0 cases is the toughest part of the elimination strategy. We would need to trace down every single case, isolating and testing all the people they might have come into contact with. Some towns or suburbs might need to stay on Stage Three restrictions for longer to stamp out the last remaining cases, and some schools might have to be closed again if cases flare up. We would need to quarantine international arrivals until a coronavirus vaccine is found.

But a successful elimination strategy would give most Australians a good chance of resuming a near-normal life well before the end of the year. If we succeed, crowds could return to the MCG in time for the Boxing Day Test.

The ways we use animals 'still risking spreading disease'

Experts agree it all began in an animal market in China – but there are other threats from the way we live, too

RIP Sir Sterling Moss. The greatest driver never to become world champion. One of the top 10 drivers of all time in fact

Just finished watching 1917. Amazing film. One of the best I've ever seen, hands down.

Agreed. Start to finish an almost perfect film. The scene in the ruined town at night in particular is a masterpiece of cinema.

That final scene where he’s running, there’s great behind the scenes footage of it somewhere. Worth having a look.

Just watched Parasite, what a great movie.

Where did you stream 1917 from Cruyff14 ?

RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor. Had Covid 19.

Sad stuff, was a huge part of my childhood with The Goodies being my fav show in 80s.

Boris Johnson has been discharged from hospital.

Lol the Goodies. The pound shop python. Sad that Coronavirus has claimed yet another. Looks like the UK is going to end up worse than Italy and Spain now

China was the canary in the mine for the rest of the world, Italy the fog horn in the street outside your living room.

Some countries heeded those warnings and responded quickly and decisively. Others didn’t. Total failure of leadership, the consequences of which have been seen almost immediately.

It has nothing to do with leadership imo.

It has to do with planning and decisions, and for me now isn't the time to be judging the effectiveness of that.

Personally think the government was damned no matter what their response was. People are very keen to politicise the current situation and for me I'm finding it particularly unhelpful.

There was a story in the paper the other day criticising the scientists and medical people responsible for formulating policy. Thought it was really irresponsible, when the last thing we need is people ignoring advice because a newspaper is telling people that the people making the decisions aren't competent.

A comedy giant, and like you was a big part of my childhood. A sad loss.

Dubya wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed and even he saw this as being possible. Obama took steps at preparedness and now an Orange buffoon is responsible for deaths through his ignorance and inaction.

MAGA indeed

? You’ll have to explain to me how these things aren’t correlated.
