I know it's different but I totally read all of that in a Jamaican accent.

This knife thing really reminds me.

A while back I had to stay at a place for a couple weeks. Was desperate so didn't have a lot of choice when it came to where I could stay. Ended up agreeing to stay for 3 weeks at a place where the individual rooms had no locks.

One fine day one of the words removed I was living with charged into my room without permission and tried to start a fight. Specifically threatened to stab me.

Being very aware of how these things can spiral out of control and fearing for my safety I moved out quickly. But now the equally word-removed that is the landlord is insisting i pay the remaining rent as well as money for a few other things instead of recognizing my right to be safe in my own residence, so it looks like this is going to the tribunal.

Any advice from anyone who might have been in a similar situation before (or not) is welcome. (Also any help from any fellow Aussies on here would be great)

So, I think NHS England have posted 758 deaths Between 5pm 5th and 5pm 6th, that is ‘todays’ figure. Its on the NHS England website. Scotland has reported 74, Wales 19, Norn Iron 3.

I make that 854 deaths in hospital. 

I’m going by NHS numbers, not BBC or worldometers.

But even those figures are estimates with lots of caveats and exclude deaths at home or in prison etc..

Stupendous

That's a lot of words to say I'm correct.

At the risk of belaboring the point, not really. Australia is just as diverse as America is in terms of its migrant makeup, it's just that the change in migration policy is more recent than it was in America.

The girlfriend's auntie has it. Works in a hospital as a nurse. Very exposed. Sounds like the management caused it from what she's said. The manager's husband came back from Germany and didn't self isolate, and neither did she. And it spread.

Australia's population is, what, 20m? And, perhaps I'm wrong, has tended to have limited diversity in its immigration movement (being mostly British, Chinese, Italian, South African iirc, and for many many years pretty much being British alone). Whereas America's population is 350m and infamously diverse and has been for literally centuries. 

That's what I mean by a lesser level of immigration. Far fewer people from far more limited backgrounds.

Historically yes. A lot of migrant groups who historically migrated to America didn't start migrating to Australia in large numbers until fairly recently.

So short answer to your question: in the past, yes. Thanks to a very conscious policy of adopting migrants only from the British Isles, and then later Europe. In the last few decades this has changed dramatically.

Edit: Pommie bit was tongueincheek

Australia doesn't seem to have that much of that. I'd guess that comes in part from a far lesser level of immigration over all (and probably less diverse on the whole), and also because Australia itself is so unique it pretty much develops it's own identity without trying.

Your not sure where the Bamford hates coming from? Seriously? 

Sorry poor choice of words maybe. Yes Bamford is a ****, but I find the hate for Leeds in general to be way OTT when they gave us a goal they weren't legally obliged to.

To be fair plenty of players break through at 23 or thereabouts, I think it's more about the fact that he's an established player now.

I mean more with the kick off times and various TV packages etc rather than suggesting no one owns a TV! like I said they have ridiculous revenue streams from goal alert services especially in Vietnam which does suggest people cant watch the games live

was there millions tuned in at 2 - 3am to watch them put in a pretty poor performance vs city?

Can't speak for Vietnam but in Singapore yes absolutely hordes of people tune in at 2-3am to watch Utd play crappy teams let alone City. The English league is by far the most watched spectator sport there (speaks volumes about the pitiful state of local football there).

Not sure about goal alert services but it might have something to do with the betting markets I'd (ahem) wager.

moyes was the fall guy, inevitable dip after Fergie (I think even most utd fans know the team in fergies' last year was utter garbage)

 still think OGS form before the contract left them in no mans land, he's not the long term answer but with that run of results you cant then give him the boot (although what they could have done was absolutely nothing until the summer and see how it all played out)

 not sure the sponsors and glory hunters will walk away, ironically that's because of the likes of Pogba, I don't know how many games their huge south east asia following actually get to watch (based on the value of their various goal alert services im guessing not a lot) instead they just get told utd and paul Pogba are still superstars by a marketing team, they'll have a few more years left in them yet

I used to live there - trust me, people watch there

It's the 21st century for christs sake.

I think most of the hate is towards the fans who are reacting as if it was a perfectly fine thing to do.

Plus the way Leeds acted all game was disgusting. Booting players around the park, the Bamford incident and then the goal.

It's just a culmination of things.

 

Yeah good point - I didn't actually watch the match so wasn't too involved in the moment.

Looking at it post-match the Leeds hate is way OTT - yes Bamford is a **** but Bielsa wasn't obliged to give a goal away. Surely he (and Leeds) have to be commended for that.

1 minute ago, Stevo985 said:

But I don't think many people ARE saying they SHOULD have kicked it out.

Like I keep saying, if they had just carried on playing then there wouldn't be the uproar.

It was the making it look like they were going to kick it out and THEN carrying on that has got peoples' backs up.

And we would have been in our rights to feel aggrieved had they gone on to score - which they did. But then they apologized for it by letting us score.

So I really don't get the hate.

As for them letting us score, they dont do that if they had something to play for

It was still a very sporting thing to do.
