Future wife moved in upstairs and we spent a couple of weeks checking each other out. Finally she got my attention by throwing her Kermit toy at my head as I was unlocking the front door and invited me upstairs to see her new computer. She made chocolate mousse.

Literally BAFFLED as to how people found love before dating sites and social media. Was settling the norm? Or did everyone just happen to be romantically compatible with the person sitting nearest to them in class?

I was at a Weddings Parties Anything gig in the 90s where they sang the Freo song to the tune of H&C's The Slab and it worked perfectly.

Actually we do know the answer. Women weren't allowed to become astronauts for NASA until 1978, & one of the greatest astronauts of all time, Ed Dwight, was blocked from Apollo missions in the 60s because he was Black. NASA was not a meritocracy. Apparently neither is journalism.

Serena Williams' legacy eclipses that Margaret Court in every respect.
Quote Tweet
The best tennis players in the world didn’t play the majors when Margaret Court won most of her 24 majors. Because they preferred to play for money whilst only amateurs were allowed to play the majors. Serena’s has had to play the best players in the world, factually, for all 23!

Just read this by in last week. How did Libs let this happen? Why did the press gallery and Murdoch media so blatantly help Morrison win in 2019 & try to do it again this year? Worst PM ever; it will take dedicated action to repair our democracy.

When they call us thugs, they are calling hard working Australians thugs - the people who care for you in hospitals, who care and educate children, tradies and supermarket workers. We deserve better than these insults

Sussan Ley, on why she's not attending the #JobsSummit: "I refuse to share a room with Union thugs..." Is this the best the LNP can muster? They really are running on empty!

Just finished Drive My Car. I love the red Saab 900 - as a kid I was fascinated with the wipers on the headlights.
