No end to that jimmy anderson - literally. Now for broad to complete the statement they have both been itching to make. #ENGvNZ

Might have dodged a bullet here. Three of the worst days of my life after scary medical event saw me bailed up in the Alfred with what I am assured was a "small" - hmmm -- heart attack. No real damage done, and back to business as usual immediately. Save me a seat at lunch!😟😄

Jai Hindley, chapaeu, as the cyclists say. Giro win second only to cadel’s tour de france for Oz cycling which has lost a fair bit of public interest since then, so this is a much needed fillip. #Giro #cycling

Given their personnel once weitering joined mckay kennedy pittonet et al on the side, and how far gone they were 15min out, carlton lost no friends with that defeat. Character. #AFLPiesBlues

Starting from menzies, albanese will be my 16th prime minister. How will he rank among them in 3 years? Not optimistic. #AusPol2022

The more i see of jack #silvagni these days the more certain i am that he will end up an authentically serious player in the family tradition. Did wonder about that for a while. #AFLGiantsBlues

Today is precisely 26 years since i was presented with an omega gold watch for 25 years service at my old workplace. Also today , my watch repairer told me it will never tick again. Oh well, at least it put in a good shift too. #timeflies

RIP denis waterman, the most likeable villain on tv over decades - even when he was on the right side of the law. #Waterman

That waste of time - annoyingly so - confirmed only that this is not a who’s best election but who’s not. A bit depressing. #debate #60minutes

Albanese close to losing his temper. Not a good look. #debate #60minutes
This #debate is almost unlistenable with both engaging in a shouting match over each other. Unimpressive. #60minutes

Today’s overdue light on liz cambage’s behavior prompts the question: is she the most disappointing “star” in oz sport - the worst wanker? Any other candidates? (Spare me tomic - no longer relevant). #cambage

Crows not the best opposition of course but this is a seriously impressive performance by the blues. Demonstrates what is possible if they sustain the belief. #AFLBluesCrows
About time the bool renamed the grand annual the c maher benefit - that’s 6. Great win by Heberite, one of the best, especially as he had to carry me as well! #bool

Max gawn often makes it look like he’s playing against sub-AFL opposition. #aflportdees

Three see- sawing cliffhangers so far - pretty entertaining round of footy. ##AFLBluesHawks

Prettygood both ends, the blues - brilliant at the start, gutsy at the end. Real deal? We’re entitlted to think so. #AFLBluesHawks
Finch another duck. Dead (old) man walking if he wasn’t captain, sorry to say. #PAKvAUS

Cats’ skills abysmal and totally outplayed - can’t believe they’ve hit the front. #AFLPiesCats
