Column 1 – The National

Key moment
IT is photo-shop of course, but it best depicts a key moment in the NRL grand final on Sunday between the Rabbitohs and Panthers. They were tied 8-8 at this point. Poor Cody. Lucky Stephen.
Longest outage
Online drama yesterday with the longest worldwide social media outage. Facebook and Instagram were back online later yesterday morning. Mark Zuckerberg later apologised to everyone for the service disruption.
Pretty city
City Hall is holding firm to its view that colorbond fencing, which some businesses prefer for security purposes makes the city look ugly. Really?
Church service
Attending church services can be boring if you are not fully tuned in and your mind is elsewhere. A pal ended up snoring in the middle of a prayer recently, which was really embarrassing.
Food for thought
Never be afraid of change. You may lose something but you may gain something better.
