some people just dont deserve to win a Mercedes Benz in a raffle
some people cant help being dickheads
some people should not be allowed to procreate and produce offspring
and sometimes all three of these are one and the same!

such a devastatingly bad end to a story especially when she felt like no one cared or listened.

^How about those bush fires in Adelaide CH? Must be like hell on earth - 42°C!! I have friend who lives in the hills - very scary stuff. Hope they manage to contain it.

most definitely Ruby.
seems they are getting the horrid weather we got last week.
bushfires are a serious threat across Australia every year,
i know people whose lives have been disrupted/destroyed by them but never been less than 5km's from one.
on Adelaide.
ive only been there once, primarily to see a Paul Weller concert so i only spent a weekend there in 2010.
quaint isnt the right word to describe the place but its as close a word as i can think of.
nice place.

as bad as what it is that happened to this woman at the hands of a school teacher when she was young and cudo's for getting a law changed to help survivors of sexual assault but IMO this isnt the sort of achievement that warrants being given the "australian of the year" award.
that award should go to someone in the medical or science fields IMO:
anyway, good for her, she survived terrible ordeals and came out the other side relatively sane.

it still amazes me to think that men think they can still get away with crap like this in this day and age!

Good grief! Got to give them credit for creativity ... not good for the claustrophobic tho', and it must all be a bit blurry in there, not to mention the sound. How does that work? Is it piped in?? Loads of plastic too. Probably not gonna be the way of future concerts but it may trigger something - a better idea.

^^
interesting concept!
im sure if Bowie was still alive he would have worked out the way forward with concerts
this whole Covid thing would have been right up his alley for creating something unique.
