Well done the population of Victoria....eventually.

There's massive issues with the outsourcing of contact tracing and delays with that, and what seems to be simple cost cutting in not hiring translators. But enough of that nuance eh? :)
Now to wait for the ten cases from some bogan in Narre Warren taking his mates to the pub to celebrate

What's the catch? Fracking in everyone's back garden?

If someone offered to quadruple the NHS budget, I'd let them frack my arse.

Chinese place up the street has made the packets of condiment self serve by putting them out in the doorway airlock. Probably less safe for me than trying to get extras from the matriarch at pickup. However, draconian 1 duck sauce per spring roll rule effectively bypassed.

The Speaker has FINALLY asked MPs to wear masks except when speaker. To be honest, they should really keep them on when speaking, especially as there are microphones in the  Chamber, but it's a step up from what we've had before.

Personally, I think it's disgraceful it's taken the Speaker this long.

It's that thing a lot of Scottish people have where the accent comes and goes, generally when drunk or otherwise delirious.

Was considering whether to put this here or in the 'Worst responses...' thread, to be honest...

Flaming Lips stage unique 'space bubble' concert in Oklahoma

I mean ostensibly it seems safe, but a) is it really a good idea to get so many people together for a non-essential reason and b) it must only take a few people to have panic attacks or overheat or whatever at once and the staff wouldn't be able to cope. That's before even thinking about the potential horror of too many simultaneous toilet trip requests.

Those bubbles look minging. Some of them look like they're held together with sellotape. I hope they've been properly sanitised between uses.

If we've learnt anything over the past year, it's that going to gigs, the beach, the pub or going travelling are literally the most important things in the world to most people.
