Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
Highlanders to win this one easily. The Kiss Experiment has ended. Can we find another weird evangelical ex-All Black/NRL player to coach the Reds? Definitely not enough prayer circles this year. :lol: One of the reasons my son stopped playing club for the club closest to us. Constant praying and t...

Re: War in Ukraine...
So the US would loan Ukraine to buy obsolete/expired equipment and ammunition that’s in US inventory instead of the US throwing it out? That’s a good deal, right? Yes, and the money the Ukrainians "pay" would go towards restocking. It's effectively a subsidy for American weapons manufacturers Is th...

Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?
My wife is dieing in front of my eyes. She has smoked for almost 50 years now and just cannot give up. She doesn't try any more and won't even let her doctor discuss it.

Re: SRP Rd 9 - Reds v Highlanders
No Uru, McReight, McDermott and Flook. And no HMP on the bench. Not good at all.
Still, it's the type of shite one can expect by round nine.

Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?
Stupid decision. I am an avowed non-smoker, but such a ban would have the opposite effect with an unregulated Black Market. There is also the precedent of the state deciding that if something is not good for you, they can ban it. Which leads to the question, what would be next? Fancy a beer, anyone...

Among the anecdotal stuff in the history of Iran-Israel relationships, the Shah's secret services asked help from Israel Mossad to kill Khomeini when he was exiled in France.

Joey Manu (a better player IMO than Suaalii) is off to play in Japan next year. That’s just the cherry on top for NZR.

The other one with rooftop solar is that the efficiencies just dont work.

As such, LCOE is significantly...
