Crank the Croc
I CAN’T remember the last time I believed a single thing my kids told me as fact.
They’ve got about as much credibility as Donald Trump despite their earnest bluster.
So word that a kid at Beerwah State High was found with multiple knives and a list of names, while it piqued my interest, surely wasn’t true.
That didn’t stop it going wild on socials, with the rumour quickly becoming fact and parents even keeping their kids at home.
Turns out it was a load of bollocks, but at least some kids got a day off school… come to think of it, maybe that was their plan all along.
What is your emergency?
Alcohol.
The cause and solution to all life’s problems. Sam Kerr must be wondering if this all might have blown over if she had remembered the UK’s emergency services number (999) while she was spewing in a cab after a night on the tiles.
Instead she’s now in court with replay after replay of her calling a cop “f-ing stupid and white”. Charming. Although it’s arguable that being told “you’re, like, irrelevant” is even more hurtful.
Ouch.
It shows that putting our sporting heroes on a pedestal, whether they be black, white, male, female or whatever, is a fraught game.
Whatever the jury’s decision, the court of public opinion will be the one that really matters.
Don say it!
Someone I wish would drink more is Donald Trump. Being sober does that guy no favours.
I’d forgotten how insane his first term was, where every day you’d wake up to a new madcap instalment from the White House.
Series 2 is proving just as intriguing, but you’d wish the guy would actually follow through with something.
