No it doesn't, Thry.

yes it does, and its very easy to give it away when you have and earn plenty of money.

It might be about doing good, or it might not be, but kudos to him either way.

Whats your view of the gates foundation?

Righto brains trust, does anyone know how to contact Uber/Uber Eats to discuss a traffic accident with one of their delivery riders? My daughter was travelling home from work on Friday night and got hit by one when he decided to cut in front of her and go right from the bike lane as she was turning left into a main road on a green arrow. She has a witness who saw it all but thats not the issue. The guy only gave a name, address phone number when my daughter called the police when he initially refused and they instructed him to exchange details whilst on speaker phone.
These menace on our roads have no id on them, no identification plates on their e-bikes and they get away with doing damage.
She called me as she was frightened and I rushed there as they were exchanging numbers.
Surely they are employed by Uber as either casuals or contractors, they must give details of their employer. Surely they are covered by insurance by Uber?
We have looked online on how to contact them, good luck with that. Can anyone offer any tips?

The biggest battle of the world cup may be between the organisers and the England supporters and their chants and antics.

I did option #2 tonight at home, washed down with a Rockford basket pressed '15. Love the glaze that forms on the lamb.

We bottled our 2025 "Garage Hermitage" Heathcote Shiraz yesterday and stopped for lunch to watch the game. BBQ scotch fillet (nice and thick) was down with the newly bottled vintage, it was a good day.

A lot depends which GWS team turns up.
If it's the one that played the Saints, we're a chance.
If it's the one that played Brisbane, we're cactus.

Its as much chance which Carlton turns up.

It's probably a good opportunity to see how far we've progressed in overcoming those lapses that result in a run of goals.
A team like GWS can exploit that significantly.

Credit where it is due....

"You're s**t but your kebabs are good."...Aussie supporters celebrating the win.

Minced meat stuck to a vertical stick revolving around an electric element...

Marinated lamb horizontally rotating over coals, lightly charred , dripping juice, aromatic smoke ....mouth waters thinking about it.

Just to dot point the way the game has gone, we are seeing drinks breaks sponsored by x in both halves.

In the australia vs Turkey game it was a balmy 20 degrees in Canada.

Hardly a heat rule situation.

You could argue fairness as a reason behind it, but the cynic in me says its about money and nothing more.
