One child is dead and others are in a critical condition after they fell about 10 meters when the jumping castle they were in was lifted up by the wind.

I don’t think any of my children likes playing in jumping castles. My youngest son hated them.

The death toll is now up to 4 children dead, two boys and two girls. Four other children are in a critical condition, and another in a serious condition. I believe they were all grade 6 children celebrating their last day at primary school.

Who played Meg's daughter in the original Prisoner?

Meg had a teenaged son, Marty Jackson, in the original, played by several actors (Ronald Korosy in 1979, Andrew McKaige in 1983 and Michael Winchester in 1986). He eventually grew old enough to be a trainee prison officer.

There was a stepdaughter, Tracey Morris (played by Sue Devine in 1980–1981 and Michelle Thomas in 1984).

Yeah I think she lost the daughter in the original show.

I don't understand people in the medical profession who you'd think would know better being against any kind of covid vaccine or measures to keep everyone safe by mandating a vaccine. For example.

rumours going around that scummo has done it again and left the country when there are major issues to be handled.

Supposedly he's pissed off to the U.S on a private jet owned/leased by kerry stokes.

Why would that be surprising at all? He did it during the bushfires

So how you all enjoying Armageddon?

I went to the audiologist yesterday and now there is no good reason for me to go back out until my appointment for a booster on 16 February.

I am the only person I know who has RAT kits. I have two boxes of 2. One bought off Catch back in mid-Nov (just after they came on the market). The other box I bought off Amazon au for $18.98. When I looked about 2 weeks ago the exactly the same kit was being sold there for $39.95, more than twice the price - price gouging,

if I end up getting free tests off the government because I am a pensioner, I will sell the two I have for what I paid for them (unless I use them first).
