New Lorna Shore has dropped. Played it to the missus and mentioned we are going to see them in a few months. Turns out I now have a spare ticket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDyHbelR2NU She's right to be disappointed in you. Get her a Blood Incantation or Cryptopsy ticket to redeem yourself.

If only that were the case - we could have a sport where crying and fighting over who qualifies as the biggest victim wouldn't be the predominant cultural trait, as it currently is with rugby and league fans, players, coaches and media.

Since we're speaking of league, I need a rant. https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2025/07/21/one-new-zealand-warriors-set-up-base-in-logan-city/ Domestic league in NZ is a shit show, so what do the Warriors do to help? Set up an academy in Logan. Now, Logan and surrounds has a decent number of Kiwis (n...

“Alroight, Rand? Quicker to fly here, isn’t it!” My name is Lucifer, please take my hand! No-one is laughing at this joke of mine, I guess knowing how RR met his demise is slightly niche.

I tell people that I am from Zimbabwe but they still think I am a cvnt. Unfortunately that is just part and parcel with being a morbidly obese, white African.

It's so sad that the NPC has become a feeder comp and nothing else. A disgrace. The NZRU should be ashamed of themselves. I grew up watching the NPC and boy was that great.

So there is a significant number of houses going on the market around me, a big change from last year. I am told by my realtor that it is mainly NIH staff who have been let go.

I do enjoy giving advice to young chicken-runner offspring over here: "You're far too nice to be South African - tell people you're from Zimbabwe, so there's a chance they might like you."

Tall poppy syndrome. He was (justifiably) hyped from a very young age as one of the biggest prospects coming into the NRL, long before his first grade debut, and right from that point there have been people wanting to see him fail. Once people are in that mindset, every time they see someone in the ...

The leagies are involved in a code war that exists mainly in their own imagination. None of the other codes really give a f_ck. We have at least 25 years of evidence by Aussie posters on this bored that that isn't true. :nod:

Hard to narrow it to just 15 (be much easier if it was 15 of each genre I like), but will give it a shot:

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Kreator
Morbid Angel
Demilich
Artillery
Sodom
Saint Vitus
Bathory
Exodus
Dio
Countess
Queensryche
Motorhead
Paul Simon

No, three year rule is already dumb. You don't get to play for a nation with the expectation that you're only playing once due to some lack of available talent and then immediately switching to your other preference.

It's not just Auckland - a lot of incredible talent coming thru in the Far North as well. We are currently converting a bunch of them to league. Too many years of players watching Aucklanders being bought in for Northland and local pathways being ignored. League might be a poor cousin in the far nor...

What can they get away with? Is it a pre-season thing or do they keep juicing during the season? I have no idea mate.

U85 league comp in Auckland used to be massive. First year I played there was well over 20 teams. And we had guys playing the year after they retired from the NRL. 9 out of the 10 biggest hits I've taken in my life would be in U85s, not prems. Rugby eventually got their act together and started prom...

Unification only requires two belts. If the WBO is stripped the winner will still be a 'unified champ' (Usyk already is) but not 'undisputed'.

I hope the Tigers have the balls to leave Galvin In reserve grade for the rest of this season and then all of next. Eating a top 30 spot and 350k cap in the hope it forces change and takes power away from greedy cvnt player managers.

Half that. Hopefully the midterms sees him become a lame duck. They won't get 67 senate seats, even if Trump rapes a disabled child in broad daylight on main street.

2E is pretty wide - there is also 'D' for standard 'wide' in-between normal toe-box and 2E. I spent pretty much my entire childhood (other than when playing rugby) barefoot and 2E is plenty for my wide toes (D is pretty tight though).
