I don't know if you have teen kids but I do and I can tell you first hand that the lockdowns have been having major effects on their mental health. Suck it up I hear the pro dictatorship lefties say already. But fuck you, you didn't have to grow up being confined to your home and having to wear masks everywhere for over a year of your childhood. Am I mad? You bet.
Yeah, I have 6 kids ranging from 19 to 25.
Especially my 19 y/o and 21 y/o are feeling that they are missing out on being able to go out and have fun.
I remember how I was at that age. Indestructible, party animal, mad lad, etc
They don't get that freedom, and they don't stop getting older.
But yeah, we have lost a lot of freedom.
Biggest worry is after all this is over, the governments will feel that they have a new found ability to control us and we will submit.
Feels almost like we may enter a half-communist society.
We have never been all about freedom and referring to declarations etc like Americans, and maybe we should be.
I guess we assumed that because we are a western society, we would enjoy the freedoms by default.
But it seems its up to us to say enough is enough and make a stand at some point.Not now, but I foresee a time....

We are entering lockdown #5 in 2 hours.
because some fuckers from Geoff's state did the wrong thing and travelled covid all around our state.
Fuck you New South Welshmen
But damn, we have like 8 cases, and full lockdown for 5 days.
But it's never been what they said at the start and will drag on, and then we have a couple of months of very gradual easing (no masks outdoors, extend travel limit to 10km, then no masks in the workplace, 15% capacity at sporting venues and pubs, etc, etc) -

Well it is bollocks because the main AstraZeneca vaccine programme is approved by the EU. This is just a minute % which came out of India.
You do what you must tho
See now, that's weird to me.
Read my original post, I was merely mentioning what I had read in passing through the internet (the home page when logging into my web based email)
But you seem to want to turn it into a who is right/wrong.I really don't give a toss how accurate or important it is, but I mentioned it as i thought this kind of stuff would start happening.
You went into a state of outrage and disbelief, then became detective Glen, obviously saw what I had mentioned, then went into defence mode "let me yell you how it is"OK, but I find that a weird way to live...

From what I've read, it sounds like suicide.
Talk of him being estranged and then found by his ex g/f or wife -

Just your average run of the mill teens vs witch slasher flick.
Saw part 2 tonight which was also good. -

So even though I posted on this thread, for some reason I never tried out this album, or the one before it.
Not remembering this thread, I listened to both the albums today and found myself questioning if it was the same band.
maybe there was another The Last Vegas?
I'm hoping to find a few good songs as keepers, but damn, it reminds me of when Hardcore Superstar did that weird album. -

Ok, so I checked this out as I knew it must be bollocks and basically it is bollocks.
The only vaccine blocked by the EU is the small batch of AstraZeneca manufactured in India.
The UK bought 3 batches of this so a tiny % might be affected - i checked my batch numbers and I am ok.
This made me lol though - the arrogance of the EU is beyond belief -
"But there is no actual difference between the two AstraZeneca vaccines, with the reason behind Covishield’s lack of approval by the EU regulator being that the Serum Institute did not seek approval in the EU."
🙄😒
Um, so it wasn't 'bollocks' then.
Like I said, I was just recalling what I read, and even mentioned that it was something to do with paperwork.
Point is I was using this as an example of what potentially can happen.
Would not surprise me if some countries only allowed people who have had a certain shot.
Stupid, but we've seen a lot of stupid happening.... -
Watched Fear Street Part 1 on Netflix.
Was pretty good, looking forward to parts 2 (just released) and 3 (released soon) -

Yikes. Multiple vaccines with different efficacy and approvals across international borders... what could possibly go wrong?
Yep, and for this reason, Pfizer was always first choice, because America chose it and therefore it was always going to be accepted no matter what

but you could say that about virtually every band in our beloved genre.
Does that mean they are all underrated
Nope,
ACDC, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, GNR, etc - were hardly very inspirational in the majority of their lyrical content.Then you have others like Jani, who have stories and thoughtful and sometimes inspirational lyrics.
Iron Maiden, Butch Walker, Little Caesar, Great White, Sixx AM, Five Finger Death Punch, etc
Most bands have a few songs that have these traits, eg: Poison - Something To Believe In, Slaughter - Times They Change, etc but for the most part were just fun rock bands like the rest. -

depends on what report you read.
Those early Pfizer reports should be taken with a pinch of salt. Both are probably around 80-85% effective after 2 doses on average across all variants
Read this morning that the Eu looks like it isn't allowing people with AstraZeneca the same travel opportunities as those who have =had other vaccines.
The cited mainly paperwork as the reason, but it is what worried me, and the main reason I waited for Pfizer. Would rather get what is considered a better vaccine and not have to worry about shit later when trying to travel etc.
The blood clot stuff didn't worry me, happy with that risk, but I did my own researcha nd saw Pfizer as the better vaccine.
The risk I took in waiting for it to be available to me was far greater than the blood clot risk.
Anmyway, I get my first jab in 5 days, my wife has had both hers, and yet, she felt shit for a couple of days, like most people, but well worth it IMO> -

I tend to think Jani Lane was underrated and he felt like he never got the respect of other songwriters of the genre.
I agree.

Also saw Tomorrow War.
Wife & I both enjoyed it.Corny at time, but a fun and entertaining blend of a lot of other movie.

You forgot to add U2.
I don't think U2 are overrated.
I am not a fan of them, but i get that so many were and why.
I do like Angel Of Harlem, but the rest I can take of leave.
They appealed to the masses though... -

Fair enough. I admit I had to google "long covid" as I've not ever heard the term outside of your posts. I'll be honest - sounds like something to talk about alongside the Delta strain to keep people in fear, but I'll take your word for it that long covid is taking the world by storm as we speak.
I haven't called covid "just flu," but I do strongly believe that in the fullness of time it will be treated as such. It's obviously not identical to the common flu or it wouldn't have been given a new name, but I do view it as a flu-like virus that will have a similar fate to influenza and how we feel about it.
And no, my mind won't be changed on this. I would add my name to the suicide list if I decided to just readily swallow what we're fed by the media and accept it without question, when none of it makes proper sense. Not how I roll, nor will it ever be. And I still have absolutely no doubt at all in my mind that if and when there is a post-covid world, there will be vigorous investigations and confessions that conclude that we as a world, but definitely as Australians, maybe went a bit overboard with the whole thing.
One thing we can all agree on, though, is that this discussion has run it's course.
Our workplace has offered $50 to everyone who gets vaccinated (not kidding), so who knows, may happen sooner rather than later. Like I said, no interest in the vaccine personally, but I have completely accepted that I will never be allowed to do anything again without being vaccinated so may as well bite the bullet. Isn't freedom in a first-world nation beautiful?
I'm generally with you on many points, but it's not just a flu.
And it will never be remembered that way.
the affect it has had on society will see it remembered (rightly or wrongly) in line with the World Wars, depression, etcYour $50 offer is lame.
In Vic we have a pot for shot promo happening, where you show you got a shot and you get a pot of beer.
Was on the news tonightm apparently Scomo is also a fan -

The R.Tist 4.Merly Known As .... is the best thing that Dangerous Toys ever did.....
It's actually an amazing album but Pissed is their best
Both of those albums are far superior to their first 2 though, and I dig their first 2

This is close to the album of the year for me.
It's everything I want in a record.
Diverse songs, different tempos, styles and different vocal ranges at times.
Hooks, melodies.
I've always been a bit give or take with Myles, but he has absolutely nailed this one.
If you haven't heard it, you should. -
Probably Humans Being
other than that, Dreams, Why Can't This Be Love, the hits etc, are all amazing songs -

Sorry, that's rubbish. We view people in the UK and US as brothers because we share culture and values. It doesn't matter what race a person is, what counts is cultural similarity. It's just virtue signalling to pretend you feel exactly the same to a stranger as you would to "family" or care about their situation to the same extent. And that is why the news focuses on those countries, because we care more. It's just reality. To pretend it isn't is just being dishonest.
That's how you see it in your head, so anyone who disagrees with you is dishonest?
OK.
using your argument we would align more with New Zealand or Canada. -
Ozzy Osbourne should count himself very fucking lucky to get to where he got with a voice like his.
Lemmy must have been a great bloke, because as a singer he sucked.Metallica had a few great songs, but other than that were just another shitty speed (or whatever) metal band who make boring music.

I reckon you could take 6 songs off rtist and easily put them on Pissed without missing a beat, just the other songs on the album that were a bit different.
