Rihanna's commercial success is surprisingly staggering.

How are you unaware of the heights of her popularity?

For a generation of people, Dave Chappel said it best...

“Even if he did do it though” …

Long pause.

“Know what I mean”.

That’s the cultural impact MJ had on a generation.

Swift has a bunch of catchy pop tunes but she’s not come anywhere near the same impact that MJ had. For instance, I couldn’t name one of her albums. I might name 3 of her hits… Shake it Off Style Blank Space That’s all I got. I’m sure there were plenty of people who could have said the same about M...

I'm not even a Taylor Swift hater, but you'd rate her higher than Michael Jackson? Hell-to-the-no. Objectively looking at the facts, there’s a case. If she continues on this trajectory, if not already there, its not far away. What criteria are you using? Hang on, how about you advise what criteria ...

Steady on, Michael Jackson existed. And yet I’m argue that Taylor is the biggest since the Beatles. There’s something there.

I was writing a blog for a while. Local musicians performing at a small but busy pub that was doing good business but wasn't packed. I'd say they managed to give them 50 quid and a few beers after a performance, and provide sound tech support for their gig from the musician staff. There was never a...

I don't buy in to the hype of any pop stars and used to think he's way overrated but then we went to see him live at Wembley last year as my partner got cheap tickets through work.

For the All Blacks it's hard to go past the 2008-2015 sides except maybe front row and back 3, but not sure of that's just recency bias.

In a cruel twist of fate, Ireland, the UK and Australia are not in fact Asian countries.

Sure, but they seem to have answers for the problems being discussed here.

My point was that I didn't think it was uncommon for test teams to stay in 4 star hotels. Someone brought up the Boks - unlikely that was 5 star. 30 or so hotel rooms at minimum 500€ a night for a week adds up a bit, which is why the ABs weren’t in one. I was only on a wind up but €500 a night? Tha...

I don’t expect it would be all that expensive. A 5 star hotel in Paris has an eye-watering price tag and I’d be surprised if this is common accommodation for test rugby teams .

What is clear is that the hotel was on a World Rugby rotation list and was subsequently removed - i.e it had been deemed up to standard before the standard dropped.
