The picture showing Bluey Kirkwood is a favourite at the Australian Hotels Association and hangs in the New South Wales branch office. 'The image certainly is iconic - capturing a snapshot in time at one of our best pubs - obviously a period when there was still a ladies lounge,' said AHA NSW director of liquor and policing John Green … [Read more...] about Incredible story behind this throwback photo: Bluey Kirkwood ran away to war after killing a man but still died a hero – even though the ‘Miracle Man’ couldn’t always stay on the right side of the law

Apple vs Nike verdictBoth of these workout options are worth a try, and with the Nike Training Club's premium workouts now being free it might be an idea to start with that one. It doesn't seem quite as slick as its Apple counterpart, with a few downsides. You’ll need to fiddle around a bit to watch it on a TV, for example, although Nike does have plenty of help to get you through any technical stuff. … [Read more...] about Apple Fitness Plus vs Nike Training Club: choose the best workout service for you

Some vaccines may have also been distributed to clinics or providers that are moving at a slower pace. In some cases, resource-depleted states have determined it's easier to keep those doses where they are rather than attempt the complicated process of transporting and redistributing them. … [Read more...] about Trump administration leaves Biden with ‘confusing’ Covid-19 vaccine numbers and states in limbo

Book should have thrown the ball away, the zero, rather than forcing it toward Finke on the sideline, only for Georgia senior safety J.R. Reed to slide in for the pick. It was a 1st-and-10 and Notre Dame had already crossed midfield; the potential was there to put drama back into the game before the frantic final minutes. Instead, the Bulldogs were gifted a chance to force the Irish to forgo field goals moving forward. … [Read more...] about No. 3 Georgia outlasts No. 7 Notre Dame’s late rally

3. Moyes to get credit he deserves: Whatever way you slice this up, David Moyes deserves huge credit. He arrived midway through last season with West Ham in a relegation battle and has totally restructured the team. They look like a Moyes side in the best possible way and are horrible to play against. The Hammers have enough quality in attack to hurt teams too, just like Moyes’ teams at Everton had, and they are brilliantly efficient. Moyes is unfashionable and many will never forget his ill-fated season at Manchester United. But this West Ham team remind you of the miracles he worked at Everton. The crazy thing is, despite having West Ham just five points off the top of the table Moyes and his players are saying they can play much better than they are. That is the sign of a good team. … [Read more...] about Three things we learned from West Ham – West Brom

Amid the chaos was a brief, but brutal, scene of violence. Out on the street, a young anti-fascist dressed in a hoodie, his face obscured by a bandanna, swung what seemed to be a large metal bike lock squarely onto the skull of an unwitting alt-right demonstrator. The victim was a 20-year-old college student, Sean Stiles, who had made the trip to Berkeley from his home in Santa Cruz. Though Stiles had been consorting with the men from Rise Above, the bike-lock attack was unprovoked. Stiles had been arguing with two young leftist women about illegal immigration; when he was hit, he simply put his hands on his head, which started gushing blood, and stumbled off as his assailant disappeared. (Reached by Rolling Stone, Stiles had no comment on the attack.) According to the Berkeley police, Stiles was one of 11 people injured at the rally. There had also been 20 arrests – but the man with the lock was not among them. … [Read more...] about Antifa on Trial: How a College Professor Joined the Left’s Radical Ranks

At a Downing Street press conference Mr Johnson - who had enjoyed a warm relationship with the US president - said he 'unreservedly' condemned Mr Trump's actions following the dramatic events in Washington in which five people were killed. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the country's travel ban will apply to Mr Trump amid speculation that he is planning an overseas golf trip during Mr Biden's inauguration. … [Read more...] about Your guide to Biden’s big day: Complete UK schedule for US President-elect being sworn into office from the inauguration ceremony to stepping foot in the White House… all the key times so you don’t miss a second
