Crowded House. The Aussies claim them. All yours cobber. This post made me have a listen, been awhile. Actually probably more an Irish band these days, two of the members live permanently in Ireland , and Finn has had Irish citizenship since birth and travels on his Irish passport. :twisted: Nick S...

Not strictly related but... I've often wondered if, for the benefits of player retention and consistency, whether it would be better to pivot rugby from ages 4-18 to be club-driven. Players would be available for school interchanges and warm up games for those, but on a Saturday these high school ki...

My mate did these 2 weeks back. I was sceptical about no burger sauce, but wasn’t needed. Amazing.

I see the Southland burger scene is as wanky as Sydney.

I'm impressed how quickly these Saffer women have adjusted to not having to wear a burning tyre around their necks during the formal wear segment.

Partially related to this thread, but the best post-mix soft drink I've ever had in my life was Coke Zero Sugar at Five Guys in Edinburgh's CBD last year. I swear I would have smashed back about 1.5L by the time I was done.

Coach seems to be distraction for press too often whether negative or positive. We have got to point with so called journalism, who often have not a vast knowledge of game, they look to coach why team wins or loses to often I think. It's easier than actually watching game. I neither a critic or sup...

I reckon $95 at least. Fella's not a cheapskate. I was back then, due to my meagre salary. Plus I'd traveled from Wellington to Toronto for jdog's nuptials, so barely had two "loonies" to rub together. Your presence was the greatest gift of all. As long as you wore clothes. Most ... of the time.

2001, in the Otago University social grade (division 3 of 3, I think). Nothing much I can recall about any game that year, which is no surprise, as I was very shit, but I know that was the last year of the great Varsity Eh? social team (we played in the same colours as the Varsity A premier team to ...

True story. I played for a club in Auckland that regularly played Sid's club (Mid Northern) pre season. Each year on a home & away basis. This particular year I'm playing at fullback when my centre put me through a gap with only Ken Going to beat. I put the big step on him & just as I thought I was...

What a ridiculous player. About six years ago, I took a flight on Jetstar from Wellington to the Gold Coast. As is my style, I arrived stupidly early, but this seemed to pay off, as the check-in agent said "oh, you're travelling alone? Would you like to sit in an exit row for free?" Naturally, I wa...

Worth bearing in mind he and Chris Laidlaw fought for the #9 jersey between 1967-1970, so that diminished his ability to get more tests under the belt.

Went to a wedding a couple of weeks back for a mate from school. General consensus was to give at least $100 if giving cash, so that’s what I went for. Came up on the day at the wedding with what people had gifted. Another couple said they ‘don’t do gifts’ which I didn’t think was really an option....

If you can afford to host 400 people for a wedding, but you don’t have 10% down for a gaff, you need to review your priorities! Parents often pay for weddings. A shameful relic of the past, that! No place in today's society. Dreadful, utterly dreadful! :x I'm going to take a wild stab you have mult...

Man, have we got that lazy? I still like the idea of giving a gift that the couple keeps and uses. Happy to have a gift register. We still have some of ours from almost 50 years ago.
