It's beautiful - just have to read it in a thick Aussie accent.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    I just have one question- is Colin Wood really his real name?

    That's essentially what I expected from Clare - she's always very careful, particularly by email (I've had to chat with her about a few sensitive matters). I agree with Andrew that there is a black mark against the reviewer and that weshould just write back and say thanks and just felt you had to know in case it escalates.

    The Betoota Advocate is a spoof paper, like The Onion. So, it's all made up....except that the new outbreak in Australia did indeed started by security guards rooting returned travellers in hotel quarantine.

    When I saw the photo in the article (on my phone...) I thought it was a picture of Eddie... I mean, forgive me, but the guy is ~bald~ bold and holding a beer... :man-shrugging:

    For Clare, let's go with the majority opinion here - I think we should push her some more, but I see the benefits of not doing that... @Eddie Holmes do you want to reply back to her?
  7. 2020-07-31 15:36 Edward C. Holmes open
    Yes, I'll reply. Let's keep calm for now - we can raise the stakes later if necessary.

    Colin Wood is a spoof of 'Collingwood' - one of the most famous Aussie rules teams (the great Ian Barr supports them)
