And not only that, Charlie retorted, "I'm not your drummer, you're my singer."
You read Keiths book to.

No doubt mate, on paper we should smash them but we seem to find a way to mess up opportunities.
That's the old Carlton, the new one emerged last week. Get with the times.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: CV and mad panic behaviour
My daughter has a very good friend who works there...the ERs are all run by good people in the public system but they
dont get the credit or the resources they deserve and the poorer maligned areas are the worst funded.
When they scrapped the bypass code yellow they just heaped more pressure on the ER's, Frankston being one of the worst hit with a pile up of ER patients....hopefully Andrews can at least throw some money at that area and improve things.
A very good mate is a specialist there, doubt it would be the same person but they would know each other. He was the director of the unit at one stage.

Jeff Kennett did a lot wrong but thats a long bow to draw in regard recent events . Cuts that affect the ability of professional contract tracing in Victoria fall squarely on the shoulders of Dan Andrews who as former health minister new exactly what he was doing. Despite warnings from the DHHS in May 2019 that Victoria’s public health team responsible for contact tracing communicable diseases was dangerously understaffed compared to other states, by March in 2020 the division was pared down to only 14 members. Victoria, a state with 6.4 million people, had only six physicians in its health protection branch, compared to 24 in New South Wales and 17 in Queensland.
Andrews was the health minister trying to get rid of nurse-patient ratios and undermine other basic conditions using Howards work choices to do it..
The new Footscray Hospital is another furphy....Its portrayed as the Andrews Govt looking after the struggling west but in fact is a Public-Private partnership which just allows the Privates to rip off the public purse and wont be helping the western suburbs battler. Frankston Hospital has been promised an overhaul given its in such a mess and didnt have enough PPE gear at the height of CoVid. It often has its ER overcrowded and trolleys in the corridors but dont think Dan is looking after those poor sods in Franga...yep another Public-Private partnership which will see more nose jobs and face lifts than dealing with that under-resourced ER dept.
Some great people work in ER at Frankston and despite those shortcomings I would happily go there again.

The dog's lucky to still be alive after some of the instances today.

One of the great pleasures that came from the win was wiping that smug grin off Sheedy's face.
Always is and every Cheats supporter for that matter.

Very sad Video on yahoo news of a son transporting his dead mother(CoVid) on a motor bike wedged in between himself and the son in law, no ambulance or other transport available. I didnt post the video as it might distress some but it just shows the state of the country and how bad things have got in terms of resources.
I think it also shows a resilience that is incomprehendable to those in developed countries except, perhaps, in extreme wartime. My experience of third world countries is that ambulances are the exception rather than the rule.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Parks and Fog's, is Curly's boy the Real Gem?
Parks is very early.
I know I'm jumping the gun here. Its more about what it says about their recruitment. Our recent history of finding diamonds in the rough is a sad tale and even finding diamonds in amongst the jewels ( early draft picks ) is not looking to good at all with LOB, Dow and Cunningham looking shakey.
