Moseying down the range after a bright and cheerful Father’s Day I genuinely thought I was going to be attending at least two fatalities thanks to the idiotics bikers who were clearly in a rush to get home to the clubhouse or wherever they loiter. On two separate occasions a biker decided double lanes around a corner was the ideal time to overtake two cars.
As expected a car travelling in the opposite direction appeared and we all held our breath as he somehow skated between the vehicles. Then minutes later a second motorcyclist did exactly the same. Almost seemingly waiting until a blind corner before overtaking. The road might be slow going at times – which it wasn’t yesterday – but surely you’d rather get to the bottom in your own vehicle instead of an ambulance. Idiots.
SNAP UNHAPPY
As much as politicians bring it on themselves most of the time I’m not so sure about media sending their photographers to target the Premier who is on holidays over in Europe. Premier Palaszczuk is entitled to holidays regardless of how badly one may think the timing is. It was also a cheap shot to suggest, as one flack did, that she shouldn’t travel while there’s a ‘housing crisis’ going on. It’s not quite the same category as Scomo heading to Hawaii while bits of Australia burned. His “I don’t hold the hose, mate” quip is still a classic. It’s what I’d say if my country wasn’t relying on me to show a touch of leadership and empathy.
TRAIN HARD
GOOD on former Beerwah Bulldog junior Reed Mahoney for standing up for hard work. The Canterbury co-captain was forced to stand up for the NRL club’s coaching regime which saw one player walk away, whinging that it was all too hard. Reed responded if it was that easy then everyone would be doing it. I watched them closely this year. They looked sharp in patches and seemingly had the roster but never quite pulled it all together. Better luck in 2024.
