Re: World Chess Championship game 2021
How do you guys watch chess? I mean, don't get me wrong. I know how to play it and enjoy playing it but it doesn't strike me as the type of game you get hyped over.

Re: Listen to your body
Thanks, guys, for the kind words, mingled with the sort of humour and disrespect I expect from a bunch of rugby buggers. Luckily, parking is free at the hospital.

Re: Listen to your body
Early Thursday morning, I had a mild heart attack, no massive pains or sweating or the like, but a general feeling of my chest being squeezed. So I drove to the ER and was shuffled straight into the operating room for a 2.5 hour op using catheter. They inserted three stents and I am able to sit up ...

It should pass in the senate in a few days. Definitely a big boost to the Ukraine. Respect to the speaker who we at least now know is not a Russian shill.

Re: Fallout on Amazon
I greatly enjoyed it. Thought it was the perfect mix of action, gore, cheese, and some comedy thrown in. I have played the games since the original Fallout back in the 90s, but I personally don't think you need to know the setting to enjoy it. It does a pretty good job of explaining the world throug...

Re: Beating the Crusaders

What’s remarkable is how long the Crusaders have gone wit...

Re: Waratahs vs Crusaders Match Thread
Well the Crusaders have lost NZ's best coach and the best play maker, so it stands to reason they will struggle.
I think this is it for the Crusaders for some time, I suspect they will just be another team this generation.
Great run though.....the rotten cvnts.
