"Agreed Fongy. Until the flag adopts pronouns and identifies as indigenous, the extreme lefties will look down on anyone who waves it. For the record, I think we need a new flag but I'll continue to wave the one we have in the short-term."

The violent far left strike again, no doubt they will try to claim the killer was a right wing nut trying to escalate the dislike of the left.

"Bob, You're wrong and/or misled on that point. The radical right has been violent, not just the radical Left. Ask the kids of the Two Democrats, husband & wife, gunned down in their home along with their Labrador by a hard-right winger. Months…"

I used to get to the Jouro's Club (24hrs) in the city for band related all-nighters. Plenty of paper boys would come through, before and after work and holy shit can journos put it away....cheap drinks too
I partook in NO allnighters at The Taxi Club, With your new avatar i just want to be clear.
What is it with Journos and having a drinking problem? Is this a common thing, or just with Rugby League journos?
I think it goes back to drinking with sources/potential sources, building rapport, buying drinks. All sports reporters really have is their contacts, so you gotta "work" them. It's effective too, to a point.....you are talking to people half in the tank, so you end up scribbling down Hopes, dreams, revenge and them just trying to please you with a juicy tale. It's also adjacent to the entertainment industry, which rafts along on a river of booze and coke
That makes complete sense.
The old school Crime Beat reporters used to drink with the Wallopers AND drink with the crims.

Their livers resembled walnuts but they got the Juice. Crazy Times
Im a young fella but dont really touch the stuff. Horrible tasting and makes you feel like crap the next day, I'm good on that 😂
I'm an old fella, and now when I drink I get hectic 'hanxiety' which is really starting to turn me off drinking altogether. I'd much prefer a simple Hangover.
Seems to me Hoops was trying to run from something in his life, drinking to reach that kind of state where you can't even put a sentence together. Must be some life challenges he's got
Nah Eli, If you drink enough, you become an alcholic. Then, conversely, you can never drink enough.
Weed is usually quite user friendly, hence it's newfound, still dubious medical status
