Would have been 5.2% there for trots if not for my sister having a baby shower Angry

Whats your estimate of crowd numbers? 2000-3000? 

The amount HRNSW have spent on the live acts and bonus (insurance for bonus) and probably not many more eyeballs on the trots is mismanagement. 

Maybe if they let country clubs race Saturday night or even Friday night people could get there and you dont need to spend a cent (maybe forego a little turnover).

Just to lighten the mood (and I know these comments should be moved to the Harness thread),

A long time ago I was selling drugs in WA. I had a week’s road-trip planned around Toodyay, Northam, York and a few towns further out.

“Mrs FF? Want to come on a road trip?”.

“OK”.

We ended up in a wheat belt town that night and I said, “Let’s go to the local trots?”

“OK”.

I’m winning at this point.

In sub-zero temperatures, with beanies on and huddling around a roaring 44 gallon drumfire…I backed 4 winners.

She’s never been the same since.

I've a feeling we get some fuel from Malaysia which would give at least a tiny bit of relief - tentatively Confused

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the strait is open to all except the US and Israel, while adding that some ships from “different countries” had already been allowed through. In practice, however, Western-linked vessels face significant hurdles in securing safe passage.

According to Lloyd’s List, India, Pakistan, China, Iraq, and Malaysia are discussing transit plans directly with Tehran, with officials in the first three countries as well as Türkiye confirming clearance.

The Financial Times reported, citing maritime data, that at least eight ships – including oil tankers and bulk carriers tied to India, Pakistan and Greece, as well as Iran’s own fleet – have sailed through the strait but used an unusual route around the island of Larak, which is close to the Iranian coast and where waters are much shallower than in the middle of the strait.

It takes a wise man a lifetime to grow a tree and a fool five minutes to kill one.

Albo may have bowed to whinging from the right, but if this situation gets worse and nothing was put in place the attacks from the right wing triumvirate desperate for relevance will only get worse.

CBC Canada reports the israel army chief as saying the war is not close to ending

Apparently israel is denying it recently bombed an iran nuclear site (CBC) so not happy iran bombed one of theirs

The iron dome seems to have some holes in it.
