#WhoviansAU
Totally baffled and disappointed by disconnect from last week's ep. Also hate the preaching - don't need it in an escapist show.
It feels like a shark jump to me.

The pleated cuffs on Doctor Ruth's shirt echo those on John Pertwee's Doctor's shirt. #whoviansau

Paul McGann's Doctor film was set NYE 2000. Ruth moved to lighthouse midDecember 1999. Connection? #whoviansau

@ALDIAustralia Soecial buys for next Wednesday currently on website all look like Moccona coffee. 🙁 Something gone wrong.

Am I the only person fed up with our party leaders 'running for PM"? We don't vote for our PM. Their parliamentary party does. We vote for our local member. #auspol #AusVotes2019 #AusVotes

Dear Fraser Anning. I am a 71 y.o. Anglo-Australian. Ancestors arrived here in 1800s. Grew up in Cronulla. Don't tell me you have to look a certain way or pray to a certain god in a certain way to be Australian. You're the one who acts un-Australian.

@JoeABCNews @ScottMorrisonMP @abcnews @billshortenmp Grunt? EVs have better accelleration than petrol engines. I'm a female in my 70s and even I know that.
(And you should see me drag almost everything off at the lights in my Prius C.)

@wendy_harmer Cronulla, 1950s, poison ball, hide and seek, and tunnel ball.

@SBS What is happening in Brisbane? No reception and on retuning no SBS channels at all.

@JaneCaro @Virginia_Hauss @RNBreakfast @abcnews @frankelly08 I have been disgusted at recent FB posts by Stay Smart Online telling people to teach their parents/grandparents about cybersecurity. Patronising and ageist.

@Alisoninlibrary @al_mq @ColeenMacK_AUS @JaneCaro @DMacKinnonAU @GirlsAgenda What a retrograde step. But so many parents these days want their kids to look like they go to private schools. Make them wear clothes they would never wear themsekves.

[GrannyBeanz @BeanzGranny]

@al_mq @ColeenMacK_AUS @Alisoninlibrary @JaneCaro @DMacKinnonAU @GirlsAgenda My kids went to ACT public schools. Definitely no button down shirts then - polos were the go, or t-shirts, both primary and high schools.
All dress code. Get on the P&C about more practical options, or change schools.

@Mumdeep @JaneCaro @DMacKinnonAU @ColeenMacK_AUS @GirlsAgenda No uniforms at Canberra colleges (yrs 11 & 12). Only uniforms seen were for Maccas and KFC where the kids were doing their shifts. No probs.

[GrannyBeanz @BeanzGranny]

@Mumdeep @JaneCaro @DMacKinnonAU @ColeenMacK_AUS @GirlsAgenda My kids went to ACT govt schools. Non-compulsory uniform with "colour code" options. No-one ever seemed to worry about who was wearing what. Similar scenario at their high schools, with strict enforcement of rules on size of brand names and logos, slogans etc.

@gregmlarsen Adelaide surely deserves to be on this list. Perhaps dialled down to 11.

@reallykazcooke My first smartphones class at U3A took two weeks to learn turning smartphones on and off.

[GrannyBeanz @BeanzGranny]

@reallykazcooke Smartphones are a real challenge for many people. It's like all their lives they have ridden a bicycle and now someone comes along and takes it away, drops a set of car keys in their hand and leaves them to figure it out.

[GrannyBeanz @BeanzGranny]

@reallykazcooke I have been teaching older Australians to use computers ever since I retired. People who've grown up with just don't realise how hard they find it.
