Just found out my uncle with cancer has a month to live.

3 grandkids under 5 never getting to know their Pa. Know how that feels having lost my grandfather at 8 amd having scarcely any tangible memories of him.

More worried for my grandmother. Had a rough couple of years and now has to bury her son soon. In all likelihood.

Stay strong mate and be there for those that will need you.

I just saw a new story on channel 10 of the local IGA right around the corner from me getting broken into last night. Basically the father and son who own the store fought off the intruders (who had a gun) and proceeded to beat the shit out of the intruders with baseball bats. The CCTV footage was crazy. It’s the sort of crazy shit you would see in a Jackie Chan movie lol.

Horrible news man! I am sorry to hear that.

We are all here for you.

Westmeadows Tavern which was the location of the siege this morning, is somewhere I frequent occasionally with my parents for dinner.

I was in that same location just last Tuesday with my mum and sister. Right across the road at the cupcake shop.

Scary stuff for anyone in that area. Fortunately no one was in the tavern (which included the culprits who escaped out the back whilst cops were surrounding the building).

Was that Hadfield shops?

Yeah, that’s correct.

Yesterday morning I took my Dog for a walk passed those shops on the opposite side (passed the primary school that I went to in the 90s) and I actually noticed about 5 people in suits outside the IGA and one was taking a photo of a woman. I only glanced over to them as I had no clue what had happened at that point so didn’t think anything of it. When I was watching the news last night I saw the same woman was doing the report in the morning.

I must say, the whole thing is nutty. You never see two shop workers take on 4 masked intruders with a gun that they actually fire and end up beating the shit out of one of them whilst the other 3 intruders flee in fear.

Maybe they could drink enough self pouring craft beers to pay off the stadium debt while they are at it?

The rise of English heavyweights will see it paid off much quicker than forecasted

All these morons stocking up on toilet paper

If I was going to stock up toilet paper wouldnt be the first priority.

I understand why things like hand sanitizer, soap etc is in short supply. But hoarding toilet paper is a bit random. Saw a photo doing the rounds yesterday of a man with a trolley full of condoms, and a jar of coconut oil. I'm guessing he has his priorities sorted....

Problem is we're genuinely running low on toilet paper..

That would have been an awkward situation for all involved.

Thought I heard supply won't be an issue. Manufacturers are running 24 hours a day to match the new stupid levels of demand

It shows that there are people who are genuinely afraid of getting the Coronavirus and having to quarantine for 2 weeks.

Just avoid making contact with people lol.

Even if you're home for 2 weeks you'll go through maybe two to three rolls tops.

RPCB · Mar 4, 2020

Woolworths have put a limit on four packs of toilet paper per transaction. It was always bound to happen.

What a weird thing to stock on on in a crisis.

Don’t be surprised at the level of panic in a crisis.

Just do your due diligence and live life as you normally would, is my advice.
