You made me read his Wikipedia page
He seems like he was an aloof weirdo but he went against the cricketing establishment to recommend against playing apartheid South Africa.

He was so rabidly anti-catholic his non-catholic teammates hated it.

That poo poo is REALLY heavy, you can't just chuck it on a stolen shopping trolley and run off with it. The council had to bring in a heavy forked loader to pick it up and move it.

It made a heck of a dent where it did a header in the concrete, lol

It doesn't matter when you're so much better at the game than anyone else that your team is just mandatory numbers on a sheet of paper to make your brilliance rules compliant. Players cracked the shits that Bradman wielded incredible powers as a captain and they went 34-0 in his last tour despite the less important cogs trying to throw matches.

Comstar: Apr 20, 2007; Are you happy now?

Via reddit: the owner of Robinsons Bookshops has some�opinions.

From the thread:

quote:

theslowrush-

Boy do I have a story for you!

The suburb / estate / club recently wanted to put together a �welcome to country� and smoking ceremony, to show respect for the land we�re currently on and to raise an aboriginal flag next to the Australia one.

Susanne who happens to live in the estate got extremely outraged that the club wanted to put this ceremony on. So what did she do? Not only was Susanne against this idea, she got together a group of other old racist boomers (calling themselves �Concerned residents of X�) and letter dropped thousands of houses in the estate telling them what an awful idea this was, why do we need to welcome to our own land, and how they would do everything in their power to make the board members resign if they went ahead with it. She even put together this GoFundMe dedicated to shooting the idea down, because god forbid the club flew an aboriginal flag next to the Australia flag!

Susanne unfortunately got her wish in the end after threatening the board members, and the ceremony was cancelled (postponed indefinitely). She used the $1,000 she raised from the GoFundMe to buy drinks for anyone involved in her racist party and put on a celebration. It was absolutely disgusting behaviour, and I�m sure there are countless more like it.

Edit: bonus picture of her famous letter drop for the media:

quote:

dontatmelizardpeople

Some highlights for you:

Group chats on social media between staff were banned because it �encourages bullying� after she found out that people were talking about her in group chats. (This was unenforceable and I�m pretty sure not legal).

Told staff who were uncomfortable selling the Matt Walsh �Johnny the Walrus� anti-trans book that if they didn�t want to sell it, they should find another job because at Robinsons �we don�t cancel books� (the absolute irony of saying �we don�t cancel books� then tweeting about the books she�s cancelling).

During Pride month, after staff wanted to do LGBT displays, she sent out a memo that the colour scheme of pride month would be orange, and not highlight any LGBT books, so that �everyone� would feel welcome at our stores. There are a lot of people working at Robinsons who are part of the LGBT community and this was very hard on them.

I feel for all the staff still there.

Looks like I'm cancelling that local bookstore.
