My Yuppie neighbours will rejoice indeed!
Congrats mate. I think Iāll just beat you there, as I should be over in mid-September. Have my wifeās permanent visa half done now so getting there slowly. Moving to the opposite side of the world sucks when you have settled into Europe and you have to shift everythingā¦

Even for the year I was over there in 2019 it was hard to be a full blooded Liverpool supporter. Its either watch it live and destroy your sleeping habits or watch on delay and have all the joy sucked out of the match knowing it has already happened.

Yeah, the European games arenāt too bad, but the afternoon matches are impossible. Avoiding the result is pretty easy for a couple of hours, but waiting all day isnāt feasible.
Lots of Reds fans in Sydney though, Iām always greeting people in LFC shirts when weāre shopping.
People in Sydney get up really early anyway. At night everythingās shut by nine.
Itās very different to Berlin in that way.
Lots of people tell me stories about the nightlife in the eighties and nineties, but itās very tame nowadays. Not that I care, Iām an old fart who enjoys an afternoon nap, so it suits me 
Thereās no better excuse for an afternoon nap than having been up at some ungodly hour of the morning.
Also means you can take a dump on their car bonnet on your last night eh :0)
Bike rather than car. This is Berlin after all.

Iām a bit concerned about the impression you appear to have of me.
I love the 7am Sydney time LFC ko.
Most games are the godawful 1am-4am.
But Iām the one who has to check the result before I watch the replay.
Seriously worried about this. Have the authorities learned from last time?
I return to live there in less than 3 weeks. Just in time.
As to your question, what can the bushfire authorities do better? If they are doing as many fuel reduction burns as practicable in the āoff-seasonā (if there is such a thing any more), what else can be done? Theyāve had 3 very wet years and this one is expected to be very dry so there will be plenty of additional growth as fuel from those wet conditions, compounded by the fact the window for reduction burning is being squeezed by climate change in the long term and by the heavy rainfall over the last 3 years in the short termā¦
not much else, this is a cyclical thing with the bush. I remember taking the train to Katoomba for a weekend and seeing thousands of acres of burned forest and that was 20 years ago
Weird thing is, these flash fires burn through so quickly it doesnāt actually kill the trees. it was strange to see trees with black trunks, budding up with leaves about 18mo later.
Where is a good place to watch football in Hobart? Will be there for our match Vs Wolves. I donāt drink so donāt necessarily to be in a pub or bar but will go for food if it is a good place to be in. Thanks for any recommendations
Are you on a world tour???
Not football related, but as an artist you might likeā¦

Hobart is 10 hours ahead so will be 22:30 kick off I think although @Redbj will be able to confirm if my calculations are correct.
If so, then I think the only options would be a bar or maybe Wrest Point Casino
