mhaze,

I like your story and hope someone will make a movie out of it. Yours is definitely a much better story than mein Fuhrer Hasbeen's story.

I have a very low opinion of court officers.

What do you think of their discount system where criminals are awarded discounts for crimes committed. The victim never gets a discount, it's only for the wrongdoer.

Whenever there is a trial scheduled the media should go straight to the judge and ask "How big a discount are you thinking of giving for that crime?"

Dear Hasbeen,

There have been many instances of holes in the COVID bureaucracy here in Victoria. Many of us have joked about them and been a little exasperated. But in the end we are bloody grateful for COVID being kept largely at bay from our communities and have generally cut the government some slack. The high compliance levels have been a welcome surprise to me

Keeping COVID at bay is easy. Just stop any incoming people.

The UK has kept it's incoming tourist traffic, which it really does depend on, & look where it has got them.

Stop all incoming flights, & stop anyone disembarking from any ship, & the problem is solved. Then life can return to normal.

Can someone do something about the village idiot ?

Bazz,

"Can someone do something about the village idiot?"

Apart from expressing a negative Opinion, not much!!

The the shadowy, unelected bureaucrats in SA have punted for the police surveillance information gleaned from the QR app and sign ins at shops being kept for longer than the 28 months. Fortunately, the government has knocked the idea in the head. The whole thing should be knocked in the head. Since its inception in SA, it has not been used; has not been needed. But, who knows what the secretive public service has been doing with the information for reasons not connected to the China virus.
