Melbourne is on lockdown again. Same as we had, you stay in your house except for shopping, exercise etc. The tower blocks on lockdown aren't able to open their front door. There are two police offices patrolling each floor. Dystopian nightmare. 😢 What do people in the tower blocks do for food if, ...

I heard a radio programme once about a takeaway called Fernandos, after it's founder and sole-trader owner, which was largely ruined by a lawsuit from Nando's :-(

We finally forced ourselves to get to the end of Killing Eve S3 on iplayer this evening. Has any other recent series lost its way so comprehensively so quickly?

I got a copy of that Epoch Times through the door the other week, it's quite horrible.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/18/nurse-claims-met-police-wrongfully-arrested-her-because-she-black-neomi-bennett Has anyone followed this case and watched the police bodycam footage? I could easily believe that the initial decision to stop her car was racist, but I'd be interested what...

We're enjoying it a lot too (watched eps 1&2 so far). And it's not hard to see why (apart from some good writing and acting): public health officials as heroes; recommendations to take far-reaching early action pretty unhesitatingly adopted despite the public impact, and seen to have paid off; inte...

The Salisbury Poisonings has been very impressive, I thought. Last part at 9pm tonight.

Well done Marcus Rashford.

I hadn't heard about that.
