@PaulMcCartney What a wonderful tribute for who must’ve been an incredibly talented and caring man. Thank you for sharing, Mr McCartney.

It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.  I remember once on holiday when I had forgotten to bring my guitar and was itching to play. He said he would get me one of his, but I said, ‘I’m left-handed’. So, Jimmy had his roadie restring one of his guitars which he loaned me for the duration of the holiday. He then followed this act of generosity by giving me my own beautiful left-handed guitar that had been made by one of his guitar-making pals. It’s a beautiful instrument, and every time I play it now it’ll remind me of what a great man Jimmy was.  He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him.  Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’.  So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole.  Last, but not least, is his songwriting and vocal ability. If someone made an interesting remark he repeated it in his gorgeous Louisiana drawl and said, ‘That’s a good idea for a song’. Most times it didn’t take too long for that song to appear. I was very happy to have played on one of his latest songs called ‘My Gummy Just Kicked In’. We had a real fun session and he played me some of his new songs. One, in particular, I loved was the song, ‘Bubbles Up’. And I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles - they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away.  So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend.  Love, Paul

@michaelhsweet @AleDeeVee @FrontiersMusic1 Looking forward to hearing it

SoleDriver is coming! Can’t wait for you to hear it👊 @AleDeeVee @FrontiersMusic1

@nonstoptom I see you didn’t swear. But I do recall at least one Gold Logie recipient say the F Bomb for all of Australia to hear during his acceptance speech. Glad you know when to show constraint and when not to. Although telling him to F off may have been tempting

To answer everyone’s questions, I said, “Is this funny?” I’d never swear at the Logies!

@PaquetteKa58014 @DiedSuddenly_ That’s so true. I refused it and lost my job. It breaks my heart to see the damage it’s done to a well meaning people who are just doing what they’re told. This isn’t on them. They’re the victims.

@DiedSuddenly_ That’s very very sad…..people may think we the unjabbed get a thrill about watching this horror take place. But we don’t. We laboured & posted by warning daily for weeks and months. It breaks our hearts.

🚨World Cup star, 18, grabs her chest and collapses at training in Sydney before being rushed to hospital in an ambulance after losing consciousness Breakout World Cup star Linda Caicedo may not feature again in the tournament after the Colombian collapsed at training in distressing scenes that were caught on video. The young gun, 18, was rushed to hospital and was unconscious for at least 90 seconds as medics and terrified team-mates rushed to her aid at the team's base in Sydney. Footage shows the star jogging with teammates before she suddenly stops, clutches her chest and falls to the ground. Concerned players gather around her before a woman who appears to be a member of the training staff sprints to the scene, closely followed by other team staffers, one of whom was carrying a kit bag.

@JainIvan @FightPal Huh?

@FightPal Every female must be trained & be courageous irrespective whether male did right or his intentions whatever but he shall behave properly in public without any doubt of lowering down dignity of female to gain his respect through his prudence.

Almost all AFL games are televised in #Victoria and possibly other states. I don’t believe this is a licensing issue. I feel like #Queensland FTA tv give the least air time to AFL in Australia. #AFL #Gocats #aussierules

Why would Brisbane’s @Channel7 - if there’s an AFL game on, In fact there are two, why would they just go with horse racing instead? I understand if there are NRL games on - that’s their primary football code, then AFL Brisbane Lions and Gold Coast Suns games. But no.

@7NewsAustralia The Commonwealth games isn’t dead. Only Victoria’s ability to host it / keep its promise

The Commonwealth Games might be dead for now, but the spirit is hanging on. Australia is about to send a team to the Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago where the lingering question will be, 'can the whole movement survive?' 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

All of this round’s @AFL games are finished so I went and checked my tips, and of course @GeelongCats were the only team that let me down. 🤪

YOUR SAY: Should hot chips be banned from community canteens? 🍟 Best enjoyed coated in chicken salt and doused in tomato sauce at a local footy game - hot chippies are a beloved Aussie staple. But in a push to promote healthy eating in line with new guidelines from the state government, a local Melbourne council is cracking down on all deep fried delicacies cooked in built-in fryers. #9News
