  • Wayyyyy too many ads

  • Average at best

    Has no idea about anything outside of a few Sydney clubs.

Also Graham is a bit hypocritical in talking so movingly about his mental health struggles - and I applaud him for being so open about it - yet being so quick to dismiss others who express feelings about things as being “woke” and “snowflakes.” You’d think he’... more
