I won't lie. It was really difficult to like this one given how close it is to our current stupid fucking reality.

From down in Plaguetown and lockdown No.6 separated from my reason for living for months and likely months to come... it's just dispiriting. At least reading ASB brings a smile. Thank you.

Tell me more about this zombie moat. I reckon I could be convinced.

Matty The Cosplay Coal Miner isn't entirely to blame. Sure, he's as dumb as a lump of coal, but somebody publishes his nonsense. There was a time when the Financial Review was a quality paper, but then so was The Australian. That they can now allow such utterly worthless nonsense to appear under their banner is both dangerous and sad.

Dear Matty: Good of you to write - but my brain is so mushy with agonising pleas from gold-standard Gladys who can't explain "essential" and who has been permitting tradies in their thousands all through the Hunter for the past five weeks apparently - and Hindu-thousand-armed-statue look-alike Scotty - flinging his pointy blamey fingers in all directions that I can't absorb any of the stats you have so thoughtfully provided here. In fact between you writing and posting the zombies have crossed the moat (thoughtfully less than 20 km south of where I live) breaching the barriers and into our Green Zone just last week-end for barbecue parties at Blacksmiths Beach - a few kms north of where I live! Your stats are now clearly out-of-date - so could you give us an up-date. And to think that I am just back after a 2800 km odyssey (with advisories from ACT Services and Services NSW and adherence to masks and hand sanitising protocols, etc etc though southern NSW. All A-okay. QR codes and proper behaviour everywhere! Oh, by the way - the citizens of the ACT are very upset that your political sub-class should return to Canberra this week bringing Covid with you - and have been asking why if Zoom is okay for everyone else it is NOT okay for your mob? From Home - with spouses and kids underfoot.
