Obvious euphemism is obvious.

You might need to spell that out for me, Puku.

I don't think rugby needs to be simplified too much too qualify my previous point. NFL is a complicated game and the worst team in the comp makes more money each year than the entire NRL based in a city of 900k. There should be a directive across both countries that club and school games need to be...

Ted.

On fickleness. How can the warriors have better crowd numbers than all the SR teams and all Premiership teams and all URC teams except maybe Leinster? They've never won the comp. I just can't wrap my head around it. There are lost of reasons why the NRL is booming, and the Warriors are NZ's most po...

Hopefully the new military aid package can get to Ukraine in time.

Are they replacing their lost navy ships with tanks?

Ted.

Nah. There is still a lot of wasteful kicking in aerial ping pong. They still allow far too much obstructions on kicks. Aerial ping pong is boring af. They need to get rid of that. Also they need to get rid of secondary tacklers. I don’t get the problem with kicking! There’s this wildly popular spo...

Ted.

Rugby is doomed with the fickleness of its fans. Some need an uppercut. That was also my immediate reaction; however it’s probably best to listen to what they’re saying. Our sport shouldn’t be dependent upon loyalty to hold onto its fans. Piss off your dyed in the wool fans at your peril.

Nothing specific as to what it is or how long, but this is what we know so far:

In town at the Mercure Well'n City Central - we've stayed there before.
Very handy to the Fork and Brewer!
It's not far at all, from memory. Also, Little Beer Quarter is just out the back!

I'm not saying that Russia was right to invade, they weren't. But be realistic. Just as if Canada chose to align with Russia (or perhaps, China) then the USA would not stand for that either. The bottom line is that it is unacceptable that Russia feels entitled to invade a free independent country, ...

It's an interesting concept to provide subsidised beer especially in the cost of living crisis.
A bit like tax cuts at the moment.

Ted.

Possibly correct on your first point...... I'm not willing to say either way. But yeah, where the fudge is Ogre. Has anyone got his contact details? Yup, I been talking to him.

Cabal would be fine, if doable!

Change the thread title to Welly Cabal, or some such.

So there should be an independence referendum every couple of years until the separatists one day hit the jackpot? The SNP approves No, but expecting people's views and attitudes to remain static for 33 years is more than a little unrealistic. So torturing and slaughtering may make them fonder of R...

Ted.

In 1991 there was a free and fair election held in which 93% percent of the population voted in favour of independence. Every single region voted in favour of it. I'm pro-Ukraine and I still find using the 1991 election as an indicator of people's views in 2024 to be a flawed argument. A lot of tim...

Some pretty hilarious responses for the weekend losses coming from Highlander and Crusaders fans. The Wellingtonians, tho', generally aren't saying a lot either for good or for ill. I reckon the 'canes (stellar) season to date has put them in a state of shocked disbelief. Got 'em worried that if th...

Shields was good yesterday but he was poor against the Chiefs. He's not close to Finau. Agree with that. I'd have Finau my 1st choice 6. He was very underused last year.

I'd have Shields any day of the week over Frizell or half the 6s we've had lately. Ideally we could do better but he wouldn't disgrace the jersey and you'd get a full 80 of hard edged effort out of him. Shields was good yesterday but he was poor against the Chiefs. He's not close to Finau. There is...

It should pass in the senate in a few days. Definitely a big boost to the Ukraine. Respect to the speaker who we at least now know is not a Russian shill. He put his job on the line to do the right thing here, and while some of his politics is vile imo, at least he shows some spine and intelligence...

Ted.

Totally the right thing for the US to do also in terms of strengthing their own position going forward. One thing the Ukraine war's shown is that there has been one of those significant shifts in the way wars are waged, it's very much out with the old and in with the new and this will help springbo...

I ahve to disagree on the Israeli bit, it was clearly doen to prevent a war starting and a hopefully, one off thing, bit different to Ukraine where it's constant and getting more involved in an active war could escalate things in more dire ways right now. As for the GOP, I thought it was clear they...

Another pro Russian saffa The alternative view is that Ukrainian lives are being sacrificed in an unwinnable proxy war between NATO and Russia and that all this latest tranche of funding will do is to prolong the conflict.

To be honest, I think I muddled up annual leave and something about sickness among staff. IIRC, I was driving at the time, but not drinking, so not a total fudge up.

I think this lot really don't give two hoots what the public think . They're in now, therefore "have a mandate" to pretty much do as they please. Also, the damage could well and truly be done before the public get the chance to have a say and of course, social media will be working overtime to spin...

There's quite a number of projects across various ministries that had "time allocated funding". Basically certain programs were funded for set periods of time but were in addition to base line funding, not a part of it.
