They sold out a pre-season game in CHCH against the Tigers, one of the worst teams in the comp. Some posters on this forum like nothing more than to take the piss out of the NRL, but they are overtaking Rugby in NZ and we should be learning from what the NRL is doing. It's an elite professional com...

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. 5th Home sellout in a row coming up on ANZAC day. They sold out a pre-season game i...

I have hardly watched any sport rugby this year, just find it boring. Was at a club last night watching NRL and wondering why am watching more league than union, I came to the conclusion the bal is in play more, less stoppages and less TMO interference. :nod: :nod: You two should probably join Plan...

It's a decent watch, somewhat predictable in parts, and seems to lack a budget in certain parts.

It's about war journos, not really about the war in and of itself.

Queen Jacinda of the last Govt declared a climate emergency. No wonder the weather sucks balls. In 10 years time you'll stub your toe and find some way to blame Jacinda. More like, when you stop making moronic comments about the current Govt I'll stop making moronic comments about the former Govt. ...

I'm in Auckland, the vaping situation is worse than when I was here last year. I thought one of the righty tighties on this very thread told me that cracking down on vaping was one of the things that the new govt would do? Or was that just the Nats if they were governing alone before being hijacked...

Ban it and implement the death penalty for any smoke dealers. I will allow for camps where smokers can live outside of urban areas where they will do public works and be allocated smoking time. :twisted: But to be serious, I find smokers and vapers as a group to be the most selfish people on the pl...

Wasn’t it the Brits version of the Nats, for convenience sake let’s call them the Tories, that introduced this law? It will be interesting to see what effect this has on smoking numbers, I can’t help thinking they’ve just made smoking more attractive to anyone born after 2009. That's what I just sa...

UncleFB

And what's the chances of the legislation getting repealed in a change of government? Looks like the Brits version of the Nats are behind so should be pretty safe? So unless the Tories are taken over by those anti to it it should be fine. Wasn’t it the Brits version of the Nats, for convenience sak...

Meanwhile.....on the other side of the world.....reported today in Britain..... British MPs have backed a plan to ban anyone born after 2009 from buying cigarettes, effectively ensuring it will become law.

KD, you are going down the path of "all mass random attacks are linked to Islamic terrorism" which just isnt the case, particularly in Aus / NZ. The headline cases of recent years are not that - they are linked to mental health (this one, the Melbourne car attack in 2017), right wing extremism (Chr...

You may find it an awful world view, but if you were honest with yourself, you yourself spend more time focused on the negative than the positive, well you do if your posts on here are anything to go by, this is not a dig at all by the way, but if you see/read a post that you disagree with you come...

They cant control their "flocks". This reaction from angry young middle eastern men isnt totally uncommon.

Rilley has been calling out left wingers in the UK for their Anti Semitism for a number of years. She won a couple of libel cases against supporters of Corbyn.

My living circumstances are perhaps an example of the dog eat dog world, who missed out so I could come here, there must be a finite number of people who are allowed into NZ, why me and not someone else.

It being a dog eat dog world has nothing whatsoever to do with NZ’s world view and I think you know that. That was a terrible attempt at deflection. There's no deflection whatsoever. I really have no idea where you're coming from here. You're clearly living a comfortable life in a country you rocke...

UncleFB

You disagree? Yes, the fact that you're happily living in NZ after leaving the hellhole of a country caused by your ancestor's racist policies would surely make you think it isn't all a dog eat dog world?

Aren't most mass shootings in the US done by home grown wacko white boys? Why not jump to that conclusion in this case? Or you know, wait for the facts before making an arse out of yourself.

Unfortunately, it's an easy conclusion to jump to, and sadly, it was my first thought as well. I did, however, have the sense to a. keep it to myself, and b. Remind myself that it could quite easily be the situation that it was, ie. the act of one deranged individual. It was in 2021, that a man, in...
