A Newcastle man with suspiciously few arty tattoos and suspiciously short hair is today being lauded for his ingenuity.
Self isolating as best he can in his 4 bedroom Hamilton sharehouse, Kade Johns reckons he’s pretty content right about now.
With his place of employment giving him the go ahead to work from home and a fridge full of panic bought food, piss and toilet paper the young accountant is strapping in for the long haul.
“Thank fuck for the rugba leg,” he laughed to our reporter who braved the infectious at the best of times conditions created by sharehouse reisdents.
“And thank fuck I’m permanently employed and have a relatively stable income for the foreseeable future in this hyper-capitalist system that leaves it’s working-class people in huge trouble during times like this.”
“I’m nearly done with the Screaming Jets and halfway there with Silverchair, but I’m just getting started with the league.”
“Watching it for the third time,” he laughed pointing to the iconic 1997 Grand Final won by the Novacastrians.
“Found it in the vault on Kayo and I’ll keep watching it until I can’t no more,” he said referring to the game that sent the Steel City into meltdown.
“Between all this old stuff and the saviour that is Round 2 of the NRL that probably shouldn’t be going ahead, I’m set.”
Johns then explained that he and his other house mates had already watched the first 3 games of the last two seasons already.
“That shit gets us riled up here in Newy, you know that. You wrote that story about there being a real vibe here when that happened, and it’s fucking true.”
“Ponga and Pearcey getting it done for this town.”
“Right now, I’m just thankful I’ve got live sport and enough good old games to keep me from trying to do shit like the toilet paper challenge or walking down to Mereweather and catching the virus off the unvaccinated mums who have too much time on their hands to research the agenda of big pharma.”
“Thank god I don’t have to watch the Invitational Rock Climbing Championship.”
“Righto, get out of my space before you make me sick,” he said to our reporter who promptly left.
If you are someone who is cooped up and in desperate need of something to distract you momentarily, well maybe now’s the time to make the most of a free trial with Kayo, if you aren’t already a member. They are proud sponsors of this article and they’ve got every game of footy on tap.
