How Boring.

DMaxer, your original post should go down as post of the year. Very funny, enjoyed it immensely. But how so true. They should give you a column in the weekend news.

Thank you for the kind words Greg. The sad part, is that I wasn't trying to be funny. I didn't think it could get any worse until I saw that "Four phases without dates or numbers" tripe that was handed to us yesterday.

Just keep getting more and more people involved so that the blame can be spread more widely. As I said before, thank that bloke up in the sky that this is a virus and not a military invasion heading our way.

Ahh yes! Cairns is now in lockdown! SIL can't return to Darwin to fly to MacCarthur River mine. His wife, my daughter will be doing o/t with the QPS(police) as they respond to the panic buyers that are out in force. 3 police cars needed to respond to 2 women fighting over toilet paper today! My bonus is I will have 2 gorgeous grandies to play with for a few days as their Mum 2nd daughter is on the Covid Response health team here. Stay safe and do the right thing everyone!

As we get ready for an escalation in the Covid numbers in NSW I can't help but tune out every time we are inflicted with yet another press conference. In my humble opinion, it would be so much more enlightening and beneficial to the general public if an announcement could just be made succinctly and briefly without the need to have an army of hangers on surrounding the speaker and then going into a tag team routine at the microphone. It starts off with a very concerned looking premier who then hands over to the health minister who then hands over to a medical person who then hands back. Meanwhile, a solemn looking military or police figure hovers in the background whilst some theatrical hand waving goes on to assist those who might be hearing impaired. If this is not enough we are then subjected to a barrage of mindless cross examination from a group of junior Jimmy Olsens who would otherwise have been covering a finger painting competition at the local school fete.
Why can't we just have an announcement as to the status quo and the steps to be taken without the need to bore us all to death. The worst offenders are the health ministers who have no medical qualifications whatsoever, acting as if are just back from addressing the world's eminent physicians at a Harvard symposium. So far our local genius in NSW has allowed a cruise boat to disembark and a driver to transport airline crew without being vaccinated or even wearing a mask. He is the last person anyone should be listening to.
No wonder people tune out and listen to unqualified person's theories on Covid when the alternative is listening to the politicians and their experts who only seem to be capable of curing insomnia. Thank god we are not about to be invaded by a hostile army, we would be overrun before they had finished with their own introduction.
That is a seriously funny post......and true.
cheers Bilbo

I think you covered it all and my thoughts exactly. wink
