My liberal & sympathetic tendencies mean I'm happy to wish the McGrath Foundation well in their fundraising at the Pink Saturday of the Sydney Test. Everything goes out to those patients who will be supported very soon after their diagnosis. And to the Healthcare Workers who may get some decent Bunce & job security from the money raised.

But, it's not for me. I'm a Cricket fan. I rock up to the ground wanting the players to be the only participants. I want to watch the Big Show, not be part of it. I'm OK with people doing shit their own way. I'm in a bubble. But, some high maintenance multi millionaire TV presenter giving it the big 'un “in support”. Naahh.

I've come to see the Bails being rattled. Not the Tins. And …. not much of that going on this GroundHog Day.

Lord Nelson Brewery, Quayle Summer Ale from a tin at 4.2%.
Very good Summer Ale. Gentle all round. Boiled sweet sugar. But, not sickly sweet. All in sync.
