Phil Haberland of Claremont (WA) envisages a future formula: “With this rapid push to autonomous vehicles, I’m just wondering how long it will be before Melbourne hosts an F1 event where all the vehicles are driven by AI? Would the ‘vibe’, the atmosphere be the same as what we’ve been viewing over the last few days? Perhaps during the race delays we could play the new game, ‘Where’s Oscar?’”
“In defence of the character of residents of Swinger Hill (C8), I have to say I know of many worthy and virtuous people who lived there,” says Elizabeth Savage of Hughes (ACT). “One was a former boss of mine.”
Likewise, Cecily Chittick of Wyong writes in defence of Valentine: “The water view from the Valentine Bowling Club function room is something exceptional and was the perfect venue yesterday for joining up with many lifelong friends.”
“Would someone in the know tell me how so many journalists seem to know ‘everything you need to know’?” asks Adrian France of South Coogee. “I would like to know.”
Judy Finch of Taree “can’t resist throwing in the fact that I am a finch breeder, which elicits some interest among bird lovers when the conversation favours the subject. I also named my daughter Robyn before realising she would, of course, be fondly nicknamed Twobird at school.”
“The ‘dill under the car’ ad (C8) annoys me only because those biscuits would remain on the plate for an extremely short time with his kelpie in the vicinity,” surmises Dave Williams of Port Macquarie.
“Why has nobody noticed the spelling mistake in Trump’s ‘Bored of Peace?’” asks Mark Stewart of Elizabeth Bay. “Is it because we are just bored of Trump?”
“Congrats to the new Herald editor, Jordan Baker, from a similarly devoted reader and probably for longer,” declares Nola Tucker of Kiama. “So many changes, but despite dire warnings, still here. I pick up my Herald from the nature strip before breakfast and immediately check the letters before settling to the cryptic crossword over breakfast. Nod over the truth of the cartoon [love you, Cathy] and check the names in the obits (just in case). Now the news, my day has begun. Merci beaucoup.”
Joy Cooksey of Harrington isn’t coming the short fin when she says “that woebegone wobbegong (C8) could have done with a grey nurse with perhaps a back-up of Jackson port”. No bull.
