No end to that jimmy anderson - literally. Now for broad to complete the statement they have both been itching to make. #ENGvNZ

@66Benno No. One blockage detected so small - and no worse than when first spotted a few years ago - that not worth the risk to go after it when it is doing no damage. New meds regime instead.

Might have dodged a bullet here. Three of the worst days of my life after scary medical event saw me bailed up in the Alfred with what I am assured was a "small" - hmmm -- heart attack. No real damage done, and back to business as usual immediately. Save me a seat at lunch!😟😄

Jai Hindley, chapaeu, as the cyclists say. Giro win second only to cadel’s tour de france for Oz cycling which has lost a fair bit of public interest since then, so this is a much needed fillip. #Giro #cycling

@gmetax Silvagni kicks straight 20 sec out, ditto.

[ron reed @reedrw]

Given their personnel once weitering joined mckay kennedy pittonet et al on the side, and how far gone they were 15min out, carlton lost no friends with that defeat. Character. #AFLPiesBlues

Western united and john aloisi, zero to heroes in 3 years 👏👏👏 the good news story the a league has been desperately seeking. #ALeagueGF

Starting from menzies, albanese will be my 16th prime minister. How will he rank among them in 3 years? Not optimistic. #AusPol2022

[ron reed @reedrw]

@RossAndRussel Yes, france but new zealand is up there.

@thethoroughbred @Mattunchained Think i can make it now danny so i have accepted again. Again, apologies for yet more confusion.

[ron reed @reedrw]

The more i see of jack #silvagni these days the more certain i am that he will end up an authentically serious player in the family tradition. Did wonder about that for a while. #AFLGiantsBlues

@selvecricket My late mate bruce wilson, brilliant foreign and war correspondent and part-time cricket critic, always said that was his planned title for the book he never, alas, wrote.

[ron reed @reedrw]

@AdamAustinReed Quite possibly. How many do you reckon he’s presented to himself by now?

[ron reed @reedrw]

Today is precisely 26 years since i was presented with an omega gold watch for 25 years service at my old workplace. Also today , my watch repairer told me it will never tick again. Oh well, at least it put in a good shift too. #timeflies

RIP denis waterman, the most likeable villain on tv over decades - even when he was on the right side of the law. #Waterman

[ron reed @reedrw]

That waste of time - annoyingly so - confirmed only that this is not a who’s best election but who’s not. A bit depressing. #debate #60minutes

[ron reed @reedrw]

Albanese close to losing his temper. Not a good look. #debate #60minutes

[ron reed @reedrw]

This #debate is almost unlistenable with both engaging in a shouting match over each other. Unimpressive. #60minutes

@DanJarvis1980 Doubt the nigerian incident was an isolated one - off, and if it was no reason for the opals not to say so. But they’re not saying that. Biting their tongues big time, i suspect.

[ron reed @reedrw]

Today’s overdue light on liz cambage’s behavior prompts the question: is she the most disappointing “star” in oz sport - the worst wanker? Any other candidates? (Spare me tomic - no longer relevant). #cambage
