Someone in the upper management at Aldi has a brain, is capable of rational independent thought and is a true Covid Hero.
I wonder who he/she is? I would like to take my hat (and mask) off …and make a bow!
At last we are quietly waking up!

This morning.
Eminently sensible.
FIGHT!
It’s back!
Finally.

I’ve finally finished a second series of my animated webseries Poxy Bleedin’ Shop over the course of the pandemic and I’ve gotten some of Ireland’s best known comedians involved such as Karl Spain, Tadhg Hickey, Emma Doran and Bernard Casey as voice talent….

Yesterday.
The trophy ceremony for the Australian Open men’s final was met with by booing after Tennis Australia president Jayne Hrdlicka (top) mentioned the coronavirus vaccine rollout in a speech.
Via Sky:
Jayne Hrdlicka thanked the Victorian government for ensuring the competition continued despite a COVID-19 outbreak and snap lockdown and touted the Pfizer rollout.
Her comment triggered booing from the crowd, behaviour which was condemned by Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack who described it as “disgusting” and “un-Australian”.
FIGHT!

Behold: the Bugatti Centodieci – a prototype hypercar inspired by the wedge-shaped E110 of the 1990s
First debuted in 2019, the Centodieci has an 8.0l, quad-turbo W16 that’s expected to produce a staggering 1600bhp, accelerating to 100km/h in 2.4 seconds.
Yours for a mere €8.2 million, were you one of the handful of billionaires to have already pre-booked the entire production run.
The government is expected to agree an extension of present restrictions for at least another month
The cabinet continue to tease us
With hints that they reckon might please us
But keep your hopes low
We without vaccines know
We’re still hemmed in by viral diseases
