Hahaha I was about to say the same thing. She’s extremely talented, she writes all her own music and she knocks out albums at an absolute rate of knots.

She’s not really my thing, but I can see why she’s insanely popular.

The fact she drives a bunch of old white fuddy duddies mad is just the icing on the cake.

Tute on, Taylor… tute on!
Not you old white dude obviously.

She doesn't bother me, I think she's supremely talented.

Like I said, her music isn't really my cup of tea, but she doesn't make me irrationally mad or "sick of hearing about her!"

she's the modern equivalent of the beatles, you don't have to like her but surely you can respect what she's doing.

Coldplay have about 4 songs

No doubting the talent, she’s a megastar.

But I don’t need to hear she was patting a stray dog while taking a walk in Geelong.

Sounds like it’s the media you should be hating on not her. The standard of journalism is pathetic. Her on the other hand, she is killing it. I can’t not think of an artist in my lifetime that has generated the interest she has.

Selling out the MCG is massive. She'd probably sell out a second show too. I can't think of many other artists that could... maybe Bruno Mars or a few of those old rockers like ACDC or the Stones?

Not sure where to post this, but today marks 7 years since my mum passed away. She was 59, and succumbed to lung cancer.

My brother and I miss her very much.

I don't always get along with you all, but if I can plead with you to really love on your mates and family every day, please do so.

Petty differences over player selections, political parties and the other stuff can be challenging, but at times I'm reminded that all that is superfluous to what really matters in life.

So it's with a sombre drink, tilt to the sky and a thank you mum, I reflect on her and the love I've missed ever since.

The media are infatuated with her.

But I'm old enough to remember when Madonna held the same interest.

Thanks, boney. I was not in a good way yday, but I'm feeling a little better today.

My in-laws are lovely people, but they had some health issues recently. Father in law had his prostate removed and had a mini stroke the day after which sent panic thru the family. Ma in law had a hysterectomy and then cataract removed, and on top of all that we're purchasing a house which has been stressful.
Can't wait to watch the Raiders to help reduce the stress, hey?

Yeah I’d best be avoiding watching Raiders to reduce stress.

Grab a cold one, throw some Dave Matthews on, relax on the couch. Start with 41, then Dancing Nancies, then just let the playlist decide the sequence.

30km on the pushy, a couple of vodkas by the weber and admire my buffalo fighting off the African black beetle whilst the footy is on the phone, my daughter chilling with a book next to me, not the worst Sunday.

Yeah mine was productive. Started decorating Fui Bub’s room. We’re getting an outdoor kitchen built as our last big pre-Bub splurge, so moved the old BBQ out of the way in prep.

Have stopped drinking while Mrs Fui can’t, so it wrapped up with a Ginger Beer in the backyard.

My grandfather used to cook a great lambs fry back in the day.

Personally i can't stand lamb. Lived off lamb chops for 6 years at boarding school, and the smell of them make me gag
