“Hi, it’s Bill Belichick, you remember when you signed me up for that timeshare for January? Just before I was announced Head Coach of the Jets? Yeah? Well, I’m available now.”

Surfing in Warrnambool Victoria. Port Fairy down the coast is more sharky. Lady Julia Percy Island is a seal colony. Plenty of whites. They sometimes come to the near shore on patrol, possibly getting O2 loading in the surf zone. I remember paddling back out whilst surfing “the Cutting”, glanced to my left, saw a shark, then it disappeared. Didn’t look very big. Possibly a whaler, looked brownish. Was out at Granny’s in Warrnambool. Me and a mate. Sitting about 15m apart and a fin broke the surface between us. We were facing open ocean and it was heading shore. We paddled in very carefully. Often the young White’s come chasing the salmon in the gutters parallel to the shore. We talked about whether it was a little shark and that was all it’s fin showing or a big shark with just the tip! They’re just there, invisible until the last moment & can disappear as quick. Had a fishing boat chase one near us once, or chasing something in the water. Didn’t realise that they’d chased what ever it was to our area. But there was a guy yelling at us At the bow, from a good distance away, convinced us to get out quick. That was at ***** Beach, Southern Whales come there to fatten up before the trip south. Swam with lots of dolphins there. Saw plenty swimming and snorkelling off Mana Island in Fiji, mostly White/ Black tips and Grey Reef. Place called Supermarkets! Dived with 7 Gills- they’re weird as well as Whalers, Nurse and Leopard Sharks at Melbourne Aquarium.

Mr. Bean?

Any of the Binford Tools Hostess'!

Not a big ‘must watch’ TV viewer, but was recommended Line Of Duty about a British anti-corruption unit. Fit the bill, pun intended. My 10 year old likes the old StarTrek during Covid and I watch those with her. Most episodes are... watchable. I’d probably have given a high rating of must watch if 7of9 was introduced episode 1! I admit that I have only seen Episode 1 of Game of Thrones. Wife wants me to watch Schitts Creek. Did get engrossed in Band of Brothers. Years ago, there was an Australian equivalent, Anzacs, same concept. Was must watch from start to finish.

To be fair though, you’d really, really need the nudes of the other 49 Miss contestants... to be scientific If you’re comparing her against a standard that SHE set. I mean, to be fair to her....

I dated your mum.

onlyfans.com got some free advertising- article was in other papers here too.

Who would be a current NFL player that would be a LeBron or Steph- I know them!!!! Does the NFL suffer by offense v Defense. But I imagine a guy like an Aaron Donald type where both offensive players (Opposition as well) and naturally D- players just respect or say a Derick Henry. I was trying to think of who’s the big cheese, the Ronnie Lott? Does that make sense?

The NFLPA boss is a long time multiple re-elected Lawyer- though, don’t think he was a player? But he’s done it for a long time- players voting obviously feel he’s doing good. Is Lorax on some NFLPA as well? From memory wasn’t Trace Armstrong, Troy Vincent and then Kevin Maewae all player heads of the NFLPA. Not sure current or recent though, those guys were around when I was younger... pre kids... If guys keep getting re-elected year after year is that an indication that the players feel they’re doing a good job? I definitely remember when Troy Vincent was a President, that part hasn’t been lost to Minecraft and Paw Patrol! Is there a big difference in the basketball at that union level. Maewae was a superstar. Or is there more, volume in the basketball. Maybe it’s a team list size thing? I don’t follow basketball.

Have the DVD, get it out and watch it. There was an Australian style series from the 1985 called ANZACS. Same style of following the recruits, in this case, the 8th Battalion through enlistment, Gallipoli, France and then to the end of War. The story of the men at war, how it changes some, brings out the best in others, some leaders are born, some leaders become exposed and some, no matter how great they were, are devastated. How In these small units, mateship was paramount. I also like the story of, was it Dick Winters (?) who took the officers pistol & noticed it had never been fired.

Really wanted to see Geoff Tate in January. Had tickets. Sadly needed more surgery for my Prostate Ca. (Have had 3 this year, March’s end). Venue was good in accomodating me. Have a Dr mate who was going to come with me. Unfortunately got the nope from the hospital Dr’s. (Hoping to get all clear Tuesday). Still recall missing Megadeth way back as a kid in the 90’s when they cancelled, I think Mustaine went into rehab. Metallica cancelled last October with Hetfield going into rehab! Last Summer went to Download metal concert. Worse band was Alice in Chains. They came in after Aerodrome (from my home town) Anthrax and Behemoth and before Judas Priest and Slayer. They just sucked live, surrounded by speed metal/ thrash and rock.

Kids are doing Zoom for schooling, apparently It got shut down last week as some weirdo dropped in talking pretty sick stuff, porn etc. before teacher could turn it off.

There should be a symbol that means “put down coffee before reading”. Wiping up coffee mess now.

Used a lot here (Australia) for feral pig and cat eradication.

Centaurs are 1/2 man, centaurides (?) I think are 1/2 woman. But I did laugh out loud!

Was about to sing along.

Uncle Jim from “Haters back off”.

This was rolling into town, courtesy of the bushfires here, low visibility... actually, none.

It has some colourful language.

Saw it with my kids, my youngest loves the series. He wants to know what Finn wanted to ask Rey?

My wife won’t let me cut it off as she’s constantly misplacing the mobile and she uses the landline to call it to locate it. That’s all it does.
