wah wah.
It never stops...

Let's summarise...
Geoff is right, therefore making pretty much every government and health administration around the world either coincidentally wrong, or a part of some huge conspiracy.

Yes, there really aren't any restrictions now.
Please list them. I am interested in any restrictions that affect you.
I'll start

!. need to wear masks on public transport and in hospitals etc
2. you're going to need to continue here, I'm all out of restrictions.

Biggest inconvenience for me is other countries (Japan, China, etc) who still have serious restrictions and isolations that makes getting there impossible

I had my 4th jab the other night. This time I went Novavax, because I haven't had that one before.
I'm doing a trade show at the exhibition centre this weekend, so wanted an extra dose of protection from this purported new wave.
I also had a whooping cough vax becaus emy daughter is pregnant and even though there really isn't a valid reason for the jab (i've looked into it thoroughly) her health care nurse told her to get people visiting a new born vaxxed, so she asked and I did.
I don't like that the world is so overly cautious these days that I needed this stupid little needle, but I'm not going to kick up a stink, just jab me and I'll move on...

 

The Jani Lane rape half story has been around for ages, and seems to be genuine.
Who would make something like that up?
Until names are named, and given that he's dead, it won't likely hit the major news channels
Kinda sad that Bobbie decided to somewhat taint Jani's legacy with extra sadness...

There's always hope, I suppose. 

Break The Silence was a great album with a big Enuff Z Nuff vibe to it.
Frantic was also a good album.

From Facebook...

Well Gunettes and Gunners, it’s official. We’ve started recording our new electric record. As you can see, Simon Bloor our (producer extraordinaire) Dante and my foot (Jools) in pre production working on the tracks to bring you guys. 🤘🤘XXX

I know many canned this band after more recent albums, but I've always found more than decent track on all of their releases. Looking forward to a new one.

I too completely understand why he feels like he does 'now' - the continuing reaction there is stupid. Australia was very late in their vaccination roll out mainly because they bought into Astra Zenica scaremongering. Their own fault. But now everyone is vaccinated they should open up. 💯

What I cant stomach is the continual trivialisation of the virus and the criticism of the people who locked us down in the first place. You know the whole history will look back and see that what we did was all wrong and label the people in government a bunch of cunts.

Or were you completely happy with 3000 people dying a day in the US? Geoffs mentality is it was a minor inconvenience for a few days and we all should have just cracked on 🤔

I wonder how that would have panned out in the US & UK, before the vaccines and with much more Lethal variants?

The natural evolution of viruses like this is that they generally become weaker as time goes on.
Killing the host is counter productive, so the virus learns to not be as deadly.
Latest variants have reflected this.
In the end this is effectively a flu virus, but animal based rather than human based.

For the record, Australia is pretty much completely open.
Main restirction is masks on public transport.
I went into the city over the weekend, and maybe 40 to 50% of people were wearing masks, even though it's mandated.
Aside from that, hopsitals, and aged care facilities etc require masks, but I'm sure that's the samein most countries.
We can travel anywhere and return with no quarantine etc, biggest issues there are other countries.
We were looking at taking our family to Japan in December, but they have just opened up to organised tour groups only, so still have a long way to go.
I am desperate to get back to China, but still 2 or 3 weeks quarrantine on arrival there.
Other countries have other varied restirctions.

I completely understand why 'Geoff'  feels like he does.The whole over-reaction to the Covid down there was mind-blowing.Whenever I see a person or people start losing their freedoms and the ensuing government overreach....I wanna tear someone's throat out.Once you start losing your civil liberties and freedoms it can often be d@mn near impossible to ever get them back - outside of major revolution.

I'm from Victoria, the most locked down place on earth.

It sucked, and I didn't agree with most of it.

But at some point you need to say "well that fucking sucked, but shit is a lot better now" and move on.

I moved on like 6 months ago, some people can't.

Or won't.

Or need to just constantly sook about something.

Haha, I was going to make the point above that if you ever wanted a reason not to get vaccinated, just look at Curethesane's posts and think that one day that could be you. Is it caused by vaccine overdose?

Anyway, as soon as someone starts talking about conspiracy theories they've completely lost my respect, which in Curethesane's instance matters not, as I had no respect for him anyway. If ever a poster needed nothing more than his own posts to show what an absolute gump he is, that person is Curethesane.

Look at you, wiping your tears away and standing tall!

I think you need to come to Melbourne.

Far superior to Sydney, less aggression, no NRL fans, better music scene, sporting capital of the world, etc

We can have brunch one day 😉

Yes, 500 people in the UK died with covid (you got the reports yet about what else they died with and perhaps, in 99% of cases, what they actually died from?). And as I pointed out, in that same week about 12,355 died from other causes (off the top of my head as we've started a new page and I can't remember exactly). So while those 500 people tragically died with covid, probably 99% of them from something that wasn't actually covid... how many didn't? If you're still recording cases over there, let me know. How many positive cases - reported and not - as 500 people died with covid? Because I'm guessing that it's probably a few million that did go through a few days of inconvenience. 

aaaaand, there we have it...

end of argument!

It's a waste of time. Geoff is simply one of the conspiracy theorists who look for weird 'raw stats' from people so passionatly anti vaccinations and masks that they form their own little secret propaganda spreading groups.
The absolute epitome of plucking stats from weird singular conspiracy sources on the internet.
There is no discussion here, only Geoff trying to lamely convince people to see 'his light' that makes him feel validated and give him a sense of feeling good about how he thinks..

No point in mentioning that pretty much EVERY country acted in a protective way and identified this virus as a significant threat to people and in many cases a threat to life.
Seems they all conspired, or maybe they are all equally blinded by the 'truth' and all acted in the same crazy way!
No form of reason or legitimate argument is going to inspire any thought, but will only drive him to argue with more spite.

Good luck with your sad sooky like.
The glass is half empty for you, and you're just going to stumble and spill the other half as you sook through life...

So you don't wear masks because I assume you think it's pointless to wear one, but you consider someone pointing out the stupidity of wearing a mask a reason to shed tears? Why? 

Australia is absolutely perfect. Flawless. Criticise it and the blatant stupidity going on here, and the only solution is deportation. Obviously. 

Masks help prevent the spread of covid if you have it.
They don't protect you from contracting the virus if someone is close to you and is positive and doesn't wear a mask.

If I got covid, I would stay inside until I was over it.
If I had to leave to get medication or whatever, I'd wear a mask for sure.

I never agreed with a mask mandate. Let people make up their own minds and if they get sick, it's on them. If they die, it's on them.

I just don't constantly cry about having to wear a mask.

And I get it, Australia's not perfect, and no problem with pointing any issues from time to time, but you CONSTANTLY say how much you hate it here.

Yawn,
Wah wah,
Yawn.

surely you get tired of the same old shtick every day?

They just announced 4th jabs for over 30 year old's here today.
I'll be off to protect myself.
Don't really care if you choose to or not.

But I'm sure you'll be sooking about all the sheep and brainless fools who go and get it.

I see that all the time at work... dudes with fogged up glasses. 

And this is all I'm trying to say. You have mindless servants like CTS saying wah wah, just follow your orders. 

All I ask is why? What is the actual, scientific or medical reason that we still have to wear a mask?

And Auslander's post above paints a strong picture of why. Because we're a nation of CureTheSanes, where we just obediently follow the commands without ever questioning why, and then shoot down the tiny percentage that does ask why. 

Firstly, wah wah

I have never worn a mask except when I've had to. In hospitals, getting in to bars and restaurants etc. I've said this before, but you only hear what you want.

As for the vaccine, as I've also said before, get vaccinated, don't, whatever, I really don't give a fuck.

You get sick, then maybe you wish you had the jab.

I chose to have it, big deal.

Just stop all the crying and country hating, it's pretty old now.

We get it, everyone are sheep, the vaccine is more deadly than the virus and you fucking hate the country you live in.

If you could turn your tears into gold you'd be be rich...

Front page of the paper seemed to say in big bold writing today that the fourth booster is being pushed because of all the big bad covid cases (WHAT?! People still have covid? Didn't we all think it'd just disappear?), so your dreams (as well as the dreams of relevant pharmaceutical companies) have come true. 

Love that there's still people out there thinking that the vaccine and all their countless booster shots is the reason why they've not had covid yet. How cute. Any commentary about the literal millions of vaccinated people worldwide that still get covid every single day? 

I don't get the story about your wife. So she got the flu because she didn't get vaccinated? And you didn't get it because you're vaccinated? One reason? Only unvaccinated people get the flu, in your world? Very different world to the one I see. Never had a flu vaccine and had the flu once that I recall, maybe another time? So what's the moral of that story? 

My brother, wife and two children all had covid and three of them were unvaccinated and all were absolutely fine after 2-3 rough days (as expected with any respiratory illness). So can I use that as my feel good story about why I have absolutely zero intention of ever getting another covid or flu shot, and I've not ever had one bar the forced covid vaccines? 

You do understand that for your feel good vaccination story there's just as many feel good unvaccinated stories? 

Yes, it happened (and is still happening, with the masks and how covid cases are treated) but if you lost a loved one and had been unable to see them one last time due to the ridiculous restrictions, you think you'd just wah wah and move on? If you lost your livelihood because of the fuckery you'd just wah wah and move on? These things didn't happen to me either, but I despise this rubbish pretending it never happened and just moving on. It's not that one needs to dwell on it constantly, but when it comes up, to just dismiss it as a wah wah moment, is pure cuntishness, in my humble opinion. 

So many maggots everywhere, just concerned about how it went for them and they didn't get too badly affected so that's cool, never happened. Wah wah, get on with it. Same maggots that wah wah over a blocked nose and cough for a week once every decade so they need every yearly and booster vaccine under the sun to not prevent it, but afford them the possibility that if and when they do get it they only need to blow their nose for two days instead of three. 

Anyway, rant ended. Jeez some people just rub me the wrong way. 

Yawn

wah wah wah.

Funniest thing there was that you used the word 'humble' to describe your opinion.

Wah.

Wah.

I would think long and hard before vaccinating a kid under 5....for the most part they are better off getting viruses and gaining immunity that way....adults should seriously consider it as we don't deal with viruses as well as kids....of course if you're a parent and you refuse vaccination and your child dies from covid, you'll have to live with the possibility that you could have saved them but that is what the drug companies are counting on....

There is an argument that kinds build natural immunities from playing in dirt etc, and they are all valid and well and good.
Only issue is that covid doesn't really work this way. Vaccination does not prevent a childs (or adults) body from building natural immunities the same way.

I'd get a 4th jab if they were on offer. Happy to pay to get it.
My choice and I haven't had covid and I don't want to have it.

Had a flu shot a couple of months ago.
Told my wife that she should also get one, but she didn't
Then a couple of weeks ago she got the flu. Lasted for over a week. Took a few days off, and still has some remaining effects.
Glad I didn't get it, glad I haven't had covid.

But I can't believe this is still a conversation, sure in Australia we were forced to get a jab if we wanted to keep working.
Was always the wrong thing to do.
But it happened, wah wah, move on.

I love living in Australia, still one of the best countries in the world.
My city Melbourne has slipped to 10th most livable in the world after having sat at #1 for many years.
I can live with that, and it happened for a reason, it's a great country to live in.
If you don't like it, see ya.

Meh, keep on waiting for "take a ride on the wiiiild siiide"

I love "The Beatles", but this one absolutely slays the original.

Nope

They're all good covers, but that's all.
No real discernable difference to the originals
Would have rather they picked a Sarah Brightman song and made it their own.

Uncharted.
Pfft, pretty average.

VH is now over in any form.

All that's left is a tribute concery with SH and DLR sharing vocals, maybe MA singing a song.
They can rotate guitarists through the band, and hopefully WVH would also participate.

Would be a nice way to put a bow on the band and add to the legacy.

Moving forward, as usual, if anyone wants to perform VH songs live including Sammy, DLR (if he un-retires) or any other band, then that's all ok.

Last album took me a long time to get into, and when i did I loved it as usual.
I liked this song straight away though

The classic Def Leppard died with Steve Clark. Vivian Campbell neutered them. 

First time I've seen this thread.
Sorry for all you've been through and are going through.
Hope you'll finally be on the mend.

I hadn't seen it but I saw them come out and say it was done on purpose for publicity.
Watching above, at the start it seemed obvious that that was true, but then they kinda started pretending it was all live.
I'd say most likely the singer had a brain fart and forgot that he needed to pretend to sing for a while.
Either way, I don't really like the song anyway.

I was watching pretty much anything that came out with him in it, not sure why, everything have been very average.
Usually not necessarily because of him, he mostly has had big billed parts, but reasonably small parts in the films.
Last decent one he did was likely Expendables.
