I can get Flavour of India from Edgecliff on UberEats. That’s all the culture I need thank you very much.

I guess you have an old-fashioned view of nationality. Like, a nation isn't just a state and its people but is also an ethnicity, a volk. So the English can see themselves as ethnically English (a bit dubious, but arguable) the Chinese as Chinese. What ethnicity do you reckon Australians are? Yep. ...

Separate to this cluster..... I saw his dad on the news. Apparently his name is actually Guot. When the Sudanese government translated from Arabic script to Roman script they got the o and the u around the wrong way. His dad just left it, but now that his son is famous hes going to get their names c...

Gee, your English is really good mate....

Thanks, been practicing since birth. You can probably notice, that due to the hue of my skin, if you listen really really closely, its not as good as a real Australians English.

People puffing out their chests and telling nice fellows to fuk off apparently. Look, its simple, normal people are white. If you aren't white, then somethings not quite right and you need to explain how in gods name you could possibly be Australian.

Sensible Stephen

its a difficult one isnt it and we all have different views. I think we can all be a citizen of any country-we can go and live anywhere,get a passport there etc -but does that make us that nationality and ethinicity? It depends whether you view nationality as just about the location or whether you ...

A random one off is funny. When it happens reasonably regularly it fuken grinds you down. Yeah yeah, I don't belong in my own country. Get fuked. Is that what they said? Really? You don't belong in your own country? Or are you imagining that as an excuse to stick your chest out and tell the alleged...

Mog. You’re peddling this shite, but no-one is buying No - a couple of people aren't buying because apparently they value pearl-clutching moral-credential-flag-waving over plain logic and honesty. (and no, "everyone else" are not just racists). It's an absurdly idiotic discission and the sheer stup...

Asking someone where they from, as the initiation into conversation, because they’re black makes people feel like shit. If you didn’t know this before - now you do.

Just another Conservative government ignoring democratic process when they dont get their way. Nah, just the president. His own party voted against him. This, who was he staging a coup against? Himself? I’m in South Korea next week. He was so unpopular. His wife had been investigated for corruption...

Well this came out of nowhere. South Korea returning back to their fascist roots? Eh? The first president Syngman Ree was basically a US backed fascist dictator. After him there were a couple of military dictatorships. It wasn't until 1988 or so that Korea really could call itself a democracy.

There isn't a single Marvel or Star Wars movie or TV show since Disney began shitting them out that I haven't fallen asleep in within an hour...

Did I read that Petaia is off to NFL? Very disappointing. What's up with these egotistical Oz fwits who think they can just waltz into Gridiron and then waltz back into professional rugby.

Not a road. He was on a driveway and hit the garage.

Ok, obviously I was wrong, but for some reason I thought driveways counted too.

Can farmers get drunk and do laps in their paddocks?

The writing in most modern movies is just crap. They are hoping the big name super hero/character will be enough to get people in the door. Marvel, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc. All the new iterations of those franchise movies are so badly written. Extends to other movies too. They think by making ...

Rugby Victoria has just added an Under 85kg league. This is a good step. The men who play here are behemoths. Looking something akin to the current French national team. Other posters have got it right. 17 odd games with 2 trainings a week is a tall order for people. 10 aside with midweek fixtures ...

Along with potential international game breaker Alex Nankivell, Akira Ioane was touted by mr brownstone as someone the All Blacks would benefit on being able to call up under your naive proposal to jettison the current eligibility rules. I don't remember that discussion, but Mr B may have used thos...

It's a bit weird all right. If someone says they love Rogan I just assume they mean they like him as a person, or enjoy his show and guests. It wouldn't occur to me to think they're somehow less than others, stupid or naive and that they believe everything he says. I much agree. As I said before Ro...

And before 2020 everyone looked upon them as nutcases in normal countries.

The question is "was Ireland's win in South-Africa the swan song of the greatest Irish team ever?". Ireland comes out of this tour with damaged credentials. Loss to New Zealand and a close call to Argentina are signs of worries. Yeah they seem a bit wobbly. For me the top teams are South Africa Fra...

It's a 4 year process. You can't do it all at once. Why can't he do it all at once like he did fir the Crusaders in 1 year after he took over from Blackadder? Are his best coaching years behind him?

I full on can't stand him any more. He got pulled into that weirdo right wing echo chamber. Seems a totally different guy to the 2016 Rogan.

No idea why they chose to do a series on rugby, but the producer is very famous in Korea. So could help raise rugby's profile a lot.

New rugby series on Netflix coming out in December.

Featuring..... Korean rugby?...

But the problem is when the crowd all goes for dinner leaving the all Australian game half full etc. Need the crowd involved in all games.

I very much doubt it though.
Not at all, the URC have just started. Same mental state as the NH players.

I mean in the sense that they think it will be a walkover. Like Japan 2015.

I like the idea of Dunedin or even Brisbane like the old school ballymore 10s days. Wouldn’t have major rivalry games like crusaders v Auckland or Tahs v Reds though.

The NRL have released the draw for Magic Round for 2025. I'm gutted that there is no Super Round next year. It's such a slam dunk idea that they've managed to completely bungle.
