We're a Sydney washout away from retaining the urn.

Well played Trav.

My favourite Allan Moffat moment that (almost) no one knows about. When HDT went belly up in 1987, Moff brought Brock's VL Commodore racecar, air freighted it to Europe, contested the first ever round of the World Touring Car Championship at Monza, and won.

Allan Moffat was so often portrayed as the black hat to Peter Brock's white knight, but by every account I've seen was exceptionally kind and generous person. Thoughts are with all those who were close to him. Vale.

People wonder why we are getting over rates that aren't even in the teens, this is why.

Pouring one out for Warnie, who is not having a good day up in the cricket stadium up in the sky. #Starc

He is going to hate being called Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor so much. Good.

There is a special place in hell awaiting the Microsoft employee who decided the "Discard" and "Pop-Out" buttons should be placed so close to each other in MS Outlook.

There has been so much said in the last 24 hours about autism that has been incredibly hurtful, but nothing more than the implication that there is something wrong with me. As someone with ASD, I can say we need understanding, not a cure.

Been a while since we've put in a proper insipid performance, that's about the best thing i can say about this debacle.

That’s one way foreign governments can defend democracy. Weaken the regime, increase the chance internal opposition will emerge. Because the survival of democracy in the world is genuinely at risk, as it hasn’t been since the 1940s. Act like it.

But: the capacity of this regime to do violence, and its main defenders against internal attack, is ICE. That’s clearly the ideological troops. So foreign intelligence services need to scare ICE. These guys need to be doxxed, yesterday. /2

Look. This should already be happening: The only way the US can ever hope to be a democracy again is if this regime falls. That will not happen voluntarily. So democratic countries NEED to be trying to bring down the US Government. That’s not going to happen (soon) through open violence. But. /1

Greetings from Northern Tasmania on a gorgeous winter morning

New Superman movie is actually pretty good

I can deal with the comma in place of a decimal point, e.g. 17,2 km, but 1.000.000,00 representing 1 million is strange and scary to me.

Continental Europeans keep the anglophone world constantly fighting about Celsius vs Fahrenheit to distract us from the real issue: their egregious use of the decimal comma and period thousands separator

Kids these days will never know the skill and concentration that was required to drive while navigating with a Melways in your lap.

Look that was far from pretty but in a season when many said we'll go winless, we've knocked off both Carlton and Essendon so everything is gravy.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Dr. Who," or "Transformers."

Home sweet home

Oof there is clearly lots of money to be made as a driving instructor in Germany!

In this very spot, on Bornhomer Strasse, the Berlin Wall was first breached in 1989.

Now this gate has seen some serious shit during its time

I don't know what is says about us in the anglosphere that the French word for "tramsurfing" is literally "tramsurfing" but it can't be good.

Cricket is the gateway drug to statistics.

well, that hasn't made picking the correct religion any easier, has it

Europe is ace but both culturally and legislatively, they're at least 25 years behind us on tobacco management.

I'm going to miss Swiss chocolate so much

Being able to order a beer at a Burger King is certainly an experience I wasn't expecting.

Greetings from 3900m!

Lunch view

It's always amazed me that the Americans have a word for "someone in their second-year at an educational institution" but not a word for "fortnight".

Great drive Oscar. My feed had the german commentary and it was very endearing how excited they got with Hulkenberg's overtake late in the race.

I'm sure we smashed them on Xscore but geez. Flat.

Riga might not have a train to its airport, but at least I can jump on a frequent bus to the city that costs less than $3. Yep looking right you Melbourne Airport.

This IPA is to die for. It's almost like making beer from pure mountain water yields excellent results.

Not a bad little view from the ol' hotel room. #Geiranger

It wouldn't be McLaren messing up another Piastri pitstop eh?

A nice beer in a cosy Norwegian pub by the oceab. Life could be a lot worse. Cheers mates 💗 #Alesund

My viewpoint while I follow Dreamtime 2025. #Bergen #gotiges

I missed German Kebabs so much

I don't know what the Germans were smoking when they came up with their word for Twisties but heeeey.

I love Europe and I recognise the significant privilege I have in bring able to travel so far. But if people could stop lighting up next to me every time I stop somewhere - that would be great.

Greetings from the very top of Germany, the Zugspitze!

Simply too sad for words. Farewell Adam Selwood.

Das Leben ist schoen.
