People complaining about Victoria’s approach are crazy. Look overseas. If we just stay the course, and stay disciplined, there is chance we’ll collectively pull off a minor miracle. You can’t play golf and probably shouldn’t use tinder. Get over it

According to the shop owner, stack asked ‘for one of his famous kebabs.’ His eftpos didn’t work. So transferred the money. The two kebabs were ruined in the scuffle. So the tigers pair ordered two more post the fight
