Fantastic news if it passes. One of the key founding principles of the UN is that countries should be sovereign. I just looked at this youtube video you previously linked to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at1F4ZzO67k I didn't know any of this siht until the comically blatant zionist and US lies a...

At my first wedding a mate gave me an high-quality atlas. Brilliant gift - I still have it and it’s the best coffee table book. At my second wedding a different mate gave me a LOT of money, which I quickly spent.

It might seem counterintuitive, but looking back, I definitely preferred the cash.

I went to the hospital for a check on my progress and the results of the blood test were across-the-board positive -- the values that needed to decline have declined significantly (the bad cholesterol one the main one) and those that needed to improve had improved. My weight too has dropped to a he...

Glad to read that you are with us Kiwas. Cannot overemphasise how important it is to listen to your own body and to monitor your health.

Nadolo apparently starred in the Oz u20 team - scored tries for fun. A few of the Oz SR teams had long looks at him but weren’t interested in a 6’5”, 120kg winger that could run 100m in under 11 seconds, so it’s safe to say that he was carrying baggage, etc.

Could have been one of the greats.

My parents took me to Seaworld on the Gold Coast when I was about 8 or 9. In the line for the bumper-boats, a friendly, weird looking dude started talking to us all - asking about our day, etc. He even offered to take my sister and I on the rollercoaster. So nice… His name was Dennis Ferguson - I k...

There are way more female predators than people think. I remember as a 17/18 year old a 40-something year old women (not a teacher) going through a couple of my friends. And no, she wasn't that hot.

I believe Wright has that ‘x factor’, he also has drag-car acceleration, but is flaky If you’re Schmidt, you don’t ask him to shoulder the burden of fullback. You play him on the wing and pick a solid defender and good boot at 15 None of our 15 options are amazing defenders. When did Kellaway start...

Sure, but Dunno is 70% through the season, and 69% across his career. One game means shit.
Lolesio is a dick and plays like a house cat.
A house cat that kicks 90%

Good teams will run over him all game. You saw the game against the Blues, right?

It's not foolish to think that there is. This is not the same as defending child molesters.

I’m sure they’re all on some kind of academy training programme but many of these players were still playing schoolboy rugby last year. Eg: Rico Simpson was Sacred Heart First XV first-five and they didn’t even make it out of the Blues regional knockout to make the national Super-8 competition. He’...

I don't think they'd be on enough not to have another job, if you're not in a main super squad you wont make thay much playing in NZ.

Dunno played well last night. Showed some good wheels, he is an option at 15 too, just a pity he's kicking as poorly as Carter Gordon. With Noah kicking at 89%, I would give him the first shot. He’s a speed bump that doesn’t standout at SR level. Donaldson kicked very well last night fwiw; however ...

Q.E.D.
Can you post a link to a dictionary definition that aligns with your personal definition?
There are plenty. The usage where it relates to prepubescent children has long been superceded.

If there are plenty, it should be straight forward for you to provide a link, right?

It’s Queensland mate. Gotta be careful. I believe that’s one of the occasions when it’s okay to glass someone.

One cannot help but feel that Jeremy Clarkson, as talented as he is, would be deeply embarrassed by this whole thing.

Perhaps the issue isn’t the scrums, but the minute wasted before them as the players slowly form up. They just stand there - scrums aren’t making props tired because they involve a breather. Plus, some teams deliberately mess with the setting of scrums to drag them out and waste time and slow the ga...

Not sure I like the option of removing the scrum option from a free kick. Sounds like a way of avoiding the real issue - better reffing of the scrum.
