I don’t post on this thread because it’s become a shouty-chamber for ALP types. The bantz has gone, sadly. Which is fine of course, technically, but I can’t be fvcked getting shouted at as a substitute for debate. This thread suffers from what Michael Kirby identified as the media problem with the ...

Whats with all the money being wasted on security for this pos? Could they not have flown him down on something smaller than a Hercules, in the middle of the night. No one would be any the wiser. Are they expecting him to be sniped or something. What a waste of time and resources. Why couldn’t he h...

You’re just saying words that don’t mean anything. Apple is a product company - they sell phones. They have an app that few people use that links to news. Google and Facebook are services companies - they don’t charge anyone to use their service and users can use their platforms to create value for...

I didn’t say it started with that cruise ship Clogs. As usual, you’ve leapt on a few words and tried to distort an entire post. I said it screws the whole country... infected passengers from that ship disembarked and travelled to every state. You know, the whole country. In the context that Shanky p...

How many are they taking lads? Get back to me. Regards The Front Lines Well, from what I can see they’ve focussed on actually handling genuine immigrants as opposed to importing Covid by the boatload. That’s shit. You could’ve tried a bit harder. :(( Nah. Sorry but that one bloody cruise ship screw...

No one else is likely to take any.
Typical NSW-centric view. QLD is currently taking overseas returnees and has always been taking returnees.

South Australia as well...the current border restrictions on international arrivals have been unchanged since the end of March.

But NSW.

Hi Muse, how you doin’?

Oh... sorry.

Bullshit. You’re thinking of NewsCorp where, if the official material doesn’t match their agenda they invent a story to fit it...

6 teams is a no-brainer. I really enjoyed SR Aotearoa this year but it had too few teams to be viable into the future. If Bay of Plenty have the money and the backing then that would be fine by me, but I think commercially a 2nd team in Auckland makes sense. My strong preference is for a Trans Tasm...

6 cases today, 2 household contacts, 2 church contacts and 2 under investigation. Anyone taking bets on of we get out of level 3 on Wednesday? Sunday week - 30th. $1 Too rich for my blood. If no further cases outside auckland can see them dropping to 1 as mentioned above. Will be interesting to see...

I can really see the logic in starting a new team in the Bay, splitting the Chiefs loyal base in the process and relying on a low population base for support while leaving one team in Auckland and ignoring the substantial PI population and potential for support it holds. That idea really flies. The...

Interestingly, it seems that Tokyo Rose may have been a down-home patriot all along? That link doesn’t work for me What’s the gist? While she was initially hesitant to get behind the microphone, Toguri eventually became a key participant in Cousens’ scheme. Starting in November 1943, her “gin-fog” ...

Only the Lions fans would be happy let alone proud of a drawn series ffs . We however were disgusted at the depths of our underachievement . A miserable result . Horseshit. It was a great result for the game at large and the Lions concept. Seeing the way the spirits of impoverished fans like Landof...

How cute. A victory lap after a draw.

Kiap...

I am disappoint.

It looks to me as if Mr Mike has just roosted a booming punt into touch 5m out returning that shocking wobbly punt that fell off the side of Sluggy’s boot. The price you pay for sloppy skills and poor execution.

Honest question...

Is the misspelling of her name a deliberate thing?

I’d like to see this happen... I’m not sure how Razor’s unconventional ways might sit with method driven Gatland and that would be worth the price of the ticket alone but I’d like to see Razor do well and shame NZR through sheer performance. The only drawback I see here is that from what I can gathe...

Australia looking at a 3 game ‘Origin’ series next year. Money problems = over. The idea of a knock-out national club comp is fantastic. Imagine if they could do something similar for schools! RA and NZ can definitely combine for a good comp, but I think they’re starting to look stronger apart, foc...

To hell with YouTube and their political shitfuckery.

I watched Ford vs Ferrari the other night. The soundtrack is a killer.

Anon has made a specialty of being an expert in hindsight and has trolled on that for years.

Indeed, booji. Quite frankly Harveys doesn't come across as very well travelled, while Anon's hindsight is perfect 20/20. Hindsight for March :lol: :lol: :lol: I suppose it depends on what date in March you are talking about but Wuhan went into lockdown in January. Loads of Italians were dying in F...

I can see I need to edit further for the benefit of Harveys. She has to return home because her E3 visa is tied to her employment. I give up. :roll: You seem to be suggesting that any and every expat on a working visa should have returned home immediately and sacrificed employment, accommodation an...

Should the government be doing more to help people like get back, that’s a different question? Yes, it is... although that seems to be the thrust of the article. I don’t think so, to be honest.

Jerome, she was in secure work in New York in March with no idea she'd be shitcanned. You're saying she should have quit abruptly and returned home to no job all because of what back then seemed to be a slightly worrisome outbreak of this novel coronavirus? Nope. Doesn't pass the pub test. The mess...

You actually have absolutely no sense of humour do you, Grievy.

Yeah, nah. The problems associated with the pandemic and any controls in place aren’t so easily written off as a matter of blame. We can’t simply point the finger and smugly assert this or that to be the problem here... We’re looking at 30 or so years of economic and political policy, or perhaps mor...
