That’s dark cobber, as reality often is.
Good verse though. I only know you from your posts mate but I recon you still got one, and it’s a good one too. Anyhow here’s a video I hope you get a giggle out of

To protect the Christians 🤔
The (Joseph Kony’s) Lord’s Resistance Army type? The Oath Keepers or The Three Percenters style perhaps?
I wonder what Jesus would have made of an AR15? The last time Trump held a bible, he held it upside down!

I can relate to that. There’s so much crap on TV 😁

Just a recommendation - if you can, check out the TV series “Fisk” with Kitty Flanagan. The 3rd series due out soon

Certainly it must have, because you got it! I didn’t think the movie would be well received anywhere else in the world. Everyone here in Aus. loves it. It really struck a chord upon release. “Dreaming” is now firmly part of the Aussie lexicon.

Brilliant movie. So glad you enjoyed it. Perfectly illustrating that particular sense of humour that (whilst not uniquely Australian) is ubiquitous here. Eric Bana can sure do comedy! 😂

If anyone ever tried to exclude your friends from any beach here, I’d be the first to stand beside them calling it out as wrong. And we’d have the full weight of Australian law behind us too

To the best of my knowledge there is not one beach in Australia from which anyone is excluded on the basis of race

Aussie here, respectfully Bluesette we had our “whites only” pools back in the 60’s too, due to some dickhead rural councillors who controlled the local community pools. Not anymore! Our own “freedom riders” bravely stood up. Still not perfect here but not segregated

Yeah! It’s fun and feel good and I believe music like that has a real value too. Particularly with the world as it is today. Dance on my friend, hug your wife and children just a little bit longer today ✌🏼
