That's believed to be the case. 25 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: Probably me being thick here but thought Australia's borders were closed? International, yes, but we're bringing home Australians stuck overseas. They're not quite sure how this case got out though. Internal borders get closed a state has a cluster. It's Sydney's turn, and they're not doing a great job for so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Albert said: The Adelaide one was apparently a new strain from the UK which was more infectious, but cluster has been ended now. The Sydney one has been confirmed not to be. Is it anti UK now instead of China? How do they know it was “from the UK” and hasn’t just mutated over there as well?

Sith Happens Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We haven't been very nice to Australia over the years have we, first we dump a load of convicts on em, now their outbreaks of covid are our fault. In fairness they have been sending us neighbours and home and away for years so its about equal. I would have given them some credit for kylie but she's not really Australian anyway.

So bought the bloomin’ lot! Happy Christmas xx We haven't got any summink. Must rush out and get some - I'm sure we'll need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We got in food to feed ten of us on 27th Dec when my family were going to come down. We were thinking it was a bit stupid to get stuff in early in case plans changed. It now looks like a masterstroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKY News had a headline first thing this morning about possible shortages and now they can spend the rest of the day "reporting" on the queues and panic buying that they've stoked up in the first place.

With Sainsburys its almost like they had a conference call and said we know people buy far too much at this time of year anyway, but any ideas how we could squeeze some extra out of them? I know lets cause a bit of panic by saying stocks 'may' run out, and while we are at it we will throw in a bit of extra covid spreading when our stores are packed with said panic buyers...

So what do you want then? A couple of news broadcasts per day, with a summary of events and considered analysis of the day's news? Dream on Grandad!

ariotofmyown Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Breaking news: Government who have regularly demonised foreigners for their own political ends are surprised when many countries ban travel from the UK to protect themselves against a new strain of Covid which the UK's own government has effectively banned internal travel to mitigate against. Can't believe the likes of Saudi and Israel are just trying to punish us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out no one had died. The world was gone then. Does anyone still have news alerts on their phones? They were popular about 4 years ago I think. Think I turned mine off after about a month when I was interrupted with news of Brad Pitt's divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Remember when the SAS stormed the Iranian embassy? Kids today won't understand how serious that was. They interrupted sportsnight three times for that story. Harrowing tales from the front line, we had it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
