....and what about umpire, fielder, and bowler. It's gender neutrality gone mad.

Many will. It’s a global hit. I just checked and Rotten Tomatoes shows 97% positive with the critics and 99% positive with the paying punters.  I’m obviously in the minority and chances are you’ll enjoy it.

This sounds feckin brilliant. Might have to watch it twice.

I think 0 is a tad harsh, you get 1 point for being able to spell your name write in an exam.
And I'm not sure how you'd top the special effects.
But overall I'm with ya. 
Cruise was still good though.
Without him it would have been a plane wreck. 
 

Top Gun: Maverick
A trite, superficial, adolescent melodrama involving a series of cartoonish relationships with an undemanding ‘Boys Own’ adventure tacked on the end.
The mostly boring and self-pitying first two thirds - 0/10
The more action focused final third - 5/10
The big budget special effects - 8/10

Everyone I know (eventually) made the decision to be vaccinated largely based on the overwhelming scientific evidence and medical opinion that the vaccines have been a huge success at doing what they what they were designed to do - massively reduce your risk of serious illness, hospitalisation, death.
From the news/internet I know that a minority of older people (over 50s) are making the decision not to be vaccinated for some reason or another. I guess some of those people, like you, are mainly focused on personal, anecdotal, evidence to either make or justify that decision.
You might be lucky, but in my opinion anyone who is old enough to have good memories of the last time we won the old first division and who still chooses not be vaccinated is making a very risky decision based on a flawed cost/benefit analysis.  
It’s all very well posting your reasons for not getting vaccinated to a bunch of opinionated randoms on a footie forum   – but seriously, at your age, I think you should also check out your GP’s opinion given they’ll know your individual health circumstances.

The issue with the vaccine rollout is that it's been done federally, while the good work controlling the virus was on a state level. Broadly speaking, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia have done very well for themselves. Victoria, after lockdown hesitancy before their second wave, have done exceptionally despite the federal government's best efforts, while New South Wales have lived dangerously, but before now done okay as they've tended to drop the political theatre and lockdown when things spiral out of control. 
Funnily enough, the Federal Government was actually against the strategy adopted at state level, and have helped others campaign against it, such as Clive Palmer v WA. The federal approach, sadly, is essentially to claim credit for the States good work, while sitting on their hands otherwise. This has included, in no particular order:
 - Failing to develop a long term strategy for quarantine, instead relying on 'medihotels', which have been pretty much universally the source of leaks that have lead to more outbreaks. 
 - Failing to secure enough doses of the vaccines. 
 - Turning down a deal with Pfizer which would have secured enough vaccines last year. 
 - Not dealing with the issues around aged care at all, despite all the investigations being pretty clear about what needed to be done. 
They've tried to palm off a lot of the issues around the vaccine rollout to the states, and with that failing, they've cooked up a 'vaccine hesitancy' story with their Murdoch mates. The reality on the ground though is that there just isn't the supply. 
Their latest galaxy brain action at the top is to first recommend the AstraZeneca vaccine to only over 60s, then when these outbreaks started suggest that under 60s can take it, but they should talk to their GP first. They pretty much actively pushed for more vaccine hesitancy to distract from their ballsup in not accepting the offer from Pfizer last year, and now, want to palm blame off to the individual instead. It sells well in the Murdoch press though, so I suspect they'll get away with this.
Honestly, we'd have been better off with Scomo pulling another Hawaii moment and just leaving the vaccine procurement and rollout to the states. Everything his government has touched in this pandemic has been a disaster unfortunately. That all said, the states have kept things under control, and honestly, where I am, things really aren't that different from 2019 this year. 

Mate, day 2 of a 3 day lockdown here in BrisVegas which isn’t really stopping you doing much as long as you are masked up  (the weather is crap anyway)  About the only thing that is shut are restaurants, pubs, gyms etc. The shutdown is just about giving the contact tracers time to account for people that have been in contact with the infected parties.  (Last count 5 positive cases in a population of 3 million).

As for our pollies being better, that did make me laugh. We got lucky at the start of COVID only because our fwit of a PM decided to take a holiday to Hawaii in the middle of the catastrophic bushfires telling everybody that it was the state’s problem not his and copped a flogging from the whole country about his attitude to problems.
When COVID hit, he flick passed it on to the country’s top health officials to save his own arse so we had the situation of the states  health experts calling the shots thank god not politicians. Unfortunately when it comes to the vaccines that is controlled by the federal government who in their wisdom decided we weren’t in a race to vaccinate everybody as well as putting out confusing guidelines about who can get AZ shots and who can get Pfizer shots. On top of that they didn’t order Pfizer until recently so the bigger shipments aren’t due till September.
To sum it up we have the state’s in charge of the health side of things and have been doing a pretty good job but then you have the federal government in charge of actually delivering vaccines royally fcking up everything that they touch.
