Oddie had a tough time with this one but the award goes to the online courts during COVID-19 restrictions.
While the rules remained the same as if court was sitting, some of the alleged crooks were far too comfortable appearing from home.
They bobbed up in T-shirts with offensive slogans, lit up a smoke and, in one case, a magistrate said a naked woman appeared when the link first popped up.
By the time the hearing started she had donned more formal attire.
Best event
They were few and far between but the gala opening of the Museum of Vehicle Evolution wins hands down.
For everyone it was the first large event they’d been to in a year and the smiles showed how much people missed being together.
Worst trend
Each generation develops a little language of its own but the current crop is sounding like another country.
Oddie would like to flex a Gucci understanding of this OG trend but yeet! — is so salty, no cap.
Suffice to say, Oddie remains a Boomer; which in kidspeak means old, out of touch, resistant to change.
Oddie recommends getting even by gifting a dictionary and thesaurus to every child on their 13th birthday.
The Dodgem Award
States that think the virus stops at border checkpoints with special mention to South Australia Health Officer Nicola Spurrier who urged people not to catch disease-ridden footballs kicked into the crowd and was still at it on New Year’s Eve, urging people to party on Zoom instead of going out.
Happy new year; may it be oddly enjoyable.
