Americanism..

My old barber would have given you an earful about that. Was very proud of his apprenticeship/qualification and training over in Europe 60+ years ago. Every other barber here was just a hairdresser in his eyes.

Americanism..

Hey style. I am not being a smart arse here but give it a quick google and it’s history is very interesting.

The red white and blue poles don’t represent America but they did use it in that way later on.

Original Barbers where surgeons as well and the distinctive pole is relates to blood letting.

Red for the blood spilt
Blue for the Veins
White for the bandages

and the original barbers are said to date back to the Egyptions

however the Americans did take it over in the new age. Especially seeing the poles as patriotic.

Apparently brothels in Asia use the same pole so be careful haha

NewsMax is to the right of FoxNews along with One America News OAN. When Fox News called Arizona for Biden Fox viwers left in droves to these two networks.

Does anyone know what the quarantine requirements are for athletes at the moment? Is it still 14 days? I'm trying to work out when we might hear about our visa player!

You would need a more detailed notice probably from an immigration official but going off the general notices they’d be better waiting until the 1st November if the exemption from quarantine is for everyone including overseas workers with a special exemption. It would be better to have said player stay overseas where they can train until the 1st. Otherwise anytime spent i. Quarantine is bad for there physical fitness.
We saw Urena come in last year and need a bit of time so hopefully we can avoid quarantine as that would have a bigger advantage

Moresche has just finished the Singapore season so 2 weeks off might even be a good thing to give him a rest before joining us. Plus he's only 23 easier to get/stay fit than in your 30's.

I was wondering if sports people get a shorter quarantine. He's already had covid a couple months back as well.

I heard about this on the ABC radio yesterday. Go in a draw if you've been vaxed.

You do have to fill in personal details so not everyone may be happy with doing it. Up to you.

I presume it's not a scam.
