Of course, if it isn't properly controlled. Probably brings big biccies into the country but at what cost if it escapes.

I bet the Tennis mob (was nearly going to say The Lawn Tennis mob but of course that no longer seems to exist & would they know how to play on grass if it did?)

won't cough up the readies for the costs of controlling it, but they will stick the biccies in their bank account or Tin or Barrel whilst laughing all the way.

Yes, I can see this being a disaster. None of these clowns from OS will comply with the regs because they all come from countries that couldn't care less.


Why have it at all? Supposedly we might've lost the grand slam:

Except if you are a politician, sportperson, entertainer or are just filthy rich. Then there is a whole different set of rules.

Yeah, but that applied before the pandemic too.

Or desperate to have or go to an event Brought some tickets to "Hamilton" for a present. Its in Sydney in April for the family. Suspect I was very optimistic Flights. hotels and show for kids and other half cost me a packet and while I may just possibly get there not sure if I want to any more.

The Tennis is looking like a mess plus. It just might yet WHY?

On the other hand I am almost assured to have Covid19 vaccines in my fridges by March? Do I dare hope In my work I may be one of the guinea pigs in a few weeks time. My kids are not in that cue despite me having the lock and keys. They may be in March!

PS I hear the first dose of the two dose version gives better then 50% protection according to some just released data from Israel

Yes this one always gets a sarcastic comment thrown at the TV by us.

Brits (the wealthy ones) have all buggered off to the West indies to get some sun. That'll spread it around.

One day they might find it was these bastards that kept it going & causing many more deaths than would have died normally.
