@TheRestHistory @dcsandbrook One of your best ever podcasts - a story of incredible courage brilliantly and movingly told.

[James McIntyre @JamesTMcIntyre]

@TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Gents, your description of Octavian in your fantastic Cleopatra podcast brought to mind a certain Mr V Putin of Moscow. Are there any parallels to be drawn there? Perhaps you could touch on this in any future Augustus podcast, if appropriate.

@greg_jenner Yep. Law enforcement was pretty rough and ready

[James McIntyre @JamesTMcIntyre]

@greg_jenner Well said. As an Australian I am puzzled why our homegrown highwayman Ned Kelly enjoys folk hero status.

@holland_tom @TheRestHistory This may be already in the thread but why is JFK’s assassination absolute catnip for conspiracy theorists?

So @GarminFitness why is the minimum pool length for the Forerunner 245 14 metres? Why not 9 or 10 metres? Who has a 14 metre pool?

Asking for a friend.

@brisbanebulldog @wallabies @RugbyAU I’m surprised Alan Jones hasn’t written an opinion piece about in The Australian calling for this to be resurrected.

Why is it so hard for @newscomauHQ to handle the simple task of delivering a newspaper to my house. Suburban newsagents can handle it - why not a multinational?

[James McIntyre @JamesTMcIntyre]

Yet again @newscomauHQ are unable to deliver a newspaper in a capital city. Suburban newsagent did a much better job before a global organisation took over deliveries.

It’s a 2-sided election and the article concludes that the death of #BobHawke could make the result go one way. Or the other way. Looks like all outcomes are covered . #auspol #ausvotes https://t.co/3Vh689Gtmy
