True Detective 4 8) For fans of series 1 (GOAT series), the spiral is back…. We’ve just hammered (again) TD1-3, in prep for TD4. 3 things: 1. The mrs is convinced the spiral is in EVERY season - but I’ve yet to buy it, 2. TD2 is nowhere near as shite as I recall. The weakest, fo sho, but we enjoyed...

Their mistake was lying that they are not going to touch them. They should have just been up front in December saying they are reviewing them based on the current cost of living crisis etc. They are really bad at selling anything. Now they have just straight up lied when they didn't need to. Bad lo...

An argument for real politick. Aussies vote with their back pockets. Besides, the global and national economies look different to what they did 18 months ago. Moreover, the ALP's biggest promise was to ease cost of living challenges. More money in the public's pocket is delivering on that promise. ...

It's already had 2 weeks to grow (raining last weekend). It was a nightmare. Front was okay but I needed to do the back twice. Now I'm watching it grow which is an extreme sport in QLD.
