This woman who is very funny says 'no way Jose', never name your chickens with those names (heard her on radip a few weeks back):
This Chicken Life: Stories of chickens and the Australians who love them
by Fiona Scott-Norman
".....A collaboration between writer, comic and chicken owner, Fiona Scott-Norman, and acclaimed photographer, Ilana Rose, This Chicken Life is a collection of stories about chickens and the Australians who love them. You'll meet Jareth Bullivant, an animal liberationist who takes his rescue broilers Twistie and Sephiroth to the beach. Nik Round, a Victorian advertising executive who is focused on saving a heritage breed. Summer Farrelly from Queensland, a twelve-year-old with autism who connects with the world through her chooks and has started a chicken therapy program. Shane Secombe, who rescues the unwanted roosters of Alice Springs and gives them a second life at the prison. And Adele Scott, a burlesque performer and interior designer with tattoos and a permaculture garden. Oh, and Costa.
Funny, joyful and moving, This Chicken Life unpacks an obsession and a love affair. Chickens and humans, heart to heart, face to beak. This is no fad, it's a way of life..."

Still relatively small eggs from our girls but of the three I had for scambled eggs for brunch, two had double yokers 
They're very tame. They let you pick them up and given them a pat.

 No. Surprisingly enough the wheels weren't coming off.

The women’s retail company my oldest daughter works for have been wonderful. She works very hard for them and they reward her. She’s the NSW state manager and National training manager. She’s ready to employ 150 casuals or some such thing. At the same time while all of Victoria is closed they paid their staff 80% till the job keeper came in and will do the same post the job keeper reductions.
The company also paid for her boyfriend to fly from Vic to NSW then paid for 2 weeks quarantine.
She’s also sacked 4 workers: two weeks ago she caught a Teenage worker refunding electronically to her own account: turned out to be thousands of dollars worth 🙄

It's funny how people talk about how sad it is that he's never played in or coached an AFL premiership, and, yeah, I'm sure that is a personal disappointment. But you can't tell me that the SANFL flag means nothing to him now, particularly when you see the footage in that video.

| David, does everything that meant something to you as a child mean the same to you now? |

It's an interesting one and something that annoys me at a local level of sport. People ridicule premierships won by the level they are won at, but to the person who's playing at their level, of course it means a lot.
If you go on to win a higher premiership then that will probably mean more, but for people who will never go higher, its the pinnacle of their sporting achievements.
Now if Buckley won 3-4 AFL premierships then went back to the SANFL or the NFNL then it wouldn't mean as much. But you're right, it's the highest premiership he'll ever win, of course it'd mean something to him. |

1) Well, more than a few things do. What's your point? I'm sure a lot of AFL players go to their graves cherishing premierships that they won in their early 20s, so why wouldn't a childhood memory mean something later in life?
2) He was 20, anyway, so not exactly a child!?
(Does "K" stand for "King of non sequiturs", by any chance? )

I'm just asking. It's unclear they do in general. You'd hope that not all things that upset one in childhood still do to that extent in adulthood, but sometimes they do. Maybe it's the same for positive stuff.
(You can just call me "King" if you like.) |

Sure, but how's childhood memory relevant here?
