Hey Justin, when you’ve got a whole bunch of folk come into your pub wanting to watch the @newtownjets game, and you have 10 screens showing UFC and baseball, which no one is watching, maybe chuck the footy on champ? (They actually said no) (Lynch’s pub Narooma)

USA’s McEwen chose not to share the Gold with NZ’s Hamish Kerr. It went to a jump-off and the kiwi took it. Karma

Ray Hadley on the radio and Eddie McGuire on the tv - thought we’d moved through that era. Ray somehow managed to have a go at solar panels and say Covid’s not so bad while commentating swimming
