To say nothing of bottles of vomit inducing curdled milk that shimmered in a hot playground until recess - brought to you by a caring authority (local or state?).
PS - this bottled shite caused flavoured straws to be invented.

I’ll be getting a lunch order tomorrow.
Usually go a chicken burger on Friday. I have yard duty so need something portable.

In my teaching days - first day as level coordinator strolling through year 10 area got hit fair and square in middle of back with a large granny smith apple 🍏 - launched by a student. Apple colour sort of matched my suit (yes that long ago).
Quite funny looking back 😂 - I think my mother thought I deserved it - thanks for the loyalty ( Murray Weideman admirer).
PS apple launching student did not offend again 🍏🍏😂😂
 
I'm making no judgment here, but mask wearing has really fallen away on public transport.

Got the train in to work this morning and I reckon mask compliance is 50-60% whereas only a few months ago it would have been 95% I reckon, at least on peak hour trains.

Considering all the news about this next wave hitting us over the next couple of weeks, it sort of surprised me.
 
I'm "public transport averse" at the best of times.

Buses, trains, trams... all hygienically questionable.

Caught a train with my son to watch the game against the Doggies at TelstraDomeEtihadMarvel Stadium. Hand sanitiser was liberally applied at the destination and jam donuts were procured with great urgency to aid the self-soothing process.

Jam in said donuts used to be boiling - obviously an advanced hygiene measure

I am imagining it was launched with, "How do you like this for an apostrophe?"

Love catching trains

The Frankston train to the city - ignoring occasional ultra-violence - was the way to adventure as a kid

The subways of NY are damn entertaining

And standing in a European central station with boards of hundreds of cities and all their possibilities...

Not to mention the smorgasbord at Stockholm station. Not unusual to sit next to someone on a train anywhere in Europe - ask "where are you headed?".
Ans - "I'm going to Stockholm for breakfast!"

I fondly remember travelling from Paris to Nice on a train whilst drinking copious amounts of Amstel Gold.

Ah the sense of adventure! :blueheart: I get that at airport terminals and back home when riding the motorbike.

Its a disappearing world thanks to the Easyjets of this world but still amazing.

I turned 18 in Paris and for a variety of reasons related to a Danish girl who broke my heart, a Russian psychopath who I pissed off in a hostel in the 1oth, and a night in the basement of a gay club in Le Marais I had to get out fairly swiftly. I went to Gare de L'Est and just picked a train.

Berlin sounded funky, so I got a ticket and onto the overnight train for Berlin. At some point I headed for the dining car to find that the train was run by Deutsch Bahn and the catering was german. I could have sausage with black bread. Meat paste with black bread. More sausage. Beer. I realised I should have got some French food before I left, this was gross but the beer was something the Germans could do so I bought a shitload before finding I had cleaned them out and the two German girls behind me were very unimpressed. So being a gentlecolt I offered to share and they invited me back to their compartment.

Next morning we roll serenely into Hamburg. Unbeknownst to me, the train that left paris splits into three parts around Strasbourg and one goes to Berlin, one to hamburg, one bremen and I had moved into the Hamburg bit. Still haven't been to Berlin, but the idea of a lucky dip train always appealed ever since.

It doesn’t surprise me. We get the train to the football and mask compliance over the last 2 months has been steadily decreasing, especially post game. Last Saturday for example, on the way in there would have been approximately 30% wearing masks and on the way home, 10% at most. Given how jammed in the trains get with the footy crowds, it’s a little nuts. Seems the vast majority just couldn’t give a stuff anymore.

It’s a tricky issue and I’m not sure what the answer is. Personally, I mask up on the train and in crowded places as I haven’t had Covid (none in our house of 4, which includes 2 young 20 somethings have either) and I don’t intend on catching it if I can in any way avoid it.

Less about the train, more about the zwei frauleins please?

No one in casa-J has had COVID either, or have we?
