AS far as I know, not one person coming through the border from NSW has tested positive for the virus. Yet they still let people from Sydney fly into Brisbane, one of whom recently tested positive and Annastasia never states how many more are flying in from overseas. Leave the border alone as it’s obviously working fine.

Was randomly & most innocently asked, who’s your favourite band? Ah geez, at 65, where does one begin? Classic hits of 50s, Dylan, Beatles, Stones, Queen, Kiss – on & on! Somebody stop me!

Can anybody name a block of units built in the last 20 yrs that has more car spaces than units? Ron, Southport

Titans winger Young Tonumaipea should change his job description as he spent virtually entire game midfield.

Rent a crowd d***heads at it again, glueing their hands to road. Leave them there ... traffic in peak hour will remove them.

Why do the media constantly give protesters exposure? Surely if they don’t get exposure their rallies are pointless. Ignore them.

Once again protesters demonstrate their lack of respect for Australia on a day of rememberance. Kwozy

Cruelty to animals is a criminal offence. Remove the shark nets immediately.

Headlock ... bite ... both should have been sent off and have to face judiciary. Play to rules.

Victoria is shut down and yet they allow the markets to open. Dumb!

Surfers Paradise can have all the trees in the world and all the streetscaping. But until you bring back convenient parking, locals will not return. Patrick

After the inquiry into the virus, Ken wade will be wiping the egg off his face . Stan, Tallebudgera

To Ezra, PS and MJF, at least Ken Wade balances the rhetoric spouted by DJ Fraser and other ALP sycofants. The Edster

I don’t think Gold Coast and Brisbane should have the same show public holiday. It creates too much traffic, overcrowding and lack of parking.

To all those GCB texts blaming Home Affairs Minister Dutton for Ruby Princess, the inquiry conclusion is, and I quote, “Aust Border Force & Dept of Home Affairs had NO responsibility for the health risks

posed by passengers disembarking, and do NOT bear any responsibility for the Ruby Princess mishap” so maybe now you can stop blaming the wrong people!! Scotty

Jen, people buy into area and want to change it into what they couldn’t afford in the first place. Check before you buy Main Beach people.

Please stop the BS! If you can’t deliver, please stop ads telling us you can!

A mate’s 20ish daughter tells me “most of my mates prefer older guys, they’ve got character, not tatts!” Doc

Well done to the good samaritan who fished the two shopping trolleys out of the river near the SP to Chevron Is. bridge and now lie worse for wear near the bridge footway. A Coles employee told me they are rubbish and Council responsibility. Can I suggest Coles be a good corporate citizen and arrange with Council their collection or use a trolley with working wheels to collect them, take them back across the road and dispose in their industrial bin.

Each time we have a rare occasion that the Bureau of Meteorology predicts inaccurately, there is always someone quick to point it out in this column. But despite rain only arriving for odd days in recent months, BOM have been accurate every time. Haven’t heard from the negative fools for some time. I wish fortune tellers and mediums were as good.

Oh Linda, retired teacher, thank you for the compliment. I do get quite a kick out of the fact that my “silly texts” (your words) have managed to ruffle some sensitive tory feathers. Ezza

Dear oh dear Linda, retired teacher, what a silly Chatroom comment (15/8)! Everyone but you seem to know that the whole country is in dire economic turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, you single out the Qld government for your vitriol. Like several other writers, your biased political opinion is on display. Thank you Anastacia Palaszczuk for keeping us safe during this pandemic, far better than other states have done. Diamond

I agree with JWH that the Springboks are current world champions with the All Blacks running in 2nd place. But what a shame the Wallabies can’t manage anything higher than 7th on the world ladder. Disgraceful. Pedro

Sydney Swans Taylor is lucky he didn’t get what he deserved for breaking COVID-19 quarantine rules like a ripped up contract, especially when he admitted he knew but totally ignored the rules. What a jackass. Doug
