Were the dolphins in any real danger? This is a truly global event, watched by millions around the world, the exposure for NZ would have been great, especially after the hit our tourism industry has taken over the last 4 years, but all they've managed to do is confirm all the fears would be travell...

So talk us through the consequences here.

This was embedded in the contract with Christchurch to host the bloody event.

I had NZ$5MM in life cover from around 2005 through to January last year. I was becoming progressively more annoyed with the increasing premiums and was now covered at work, so was always threatening to cancel, much to my wife’s annoyance. Finally realized after the fact that the card the premiums ...

The dolphins earn a shitload more money for the region than the boats, that is for sure. I thought the capitalists amongst us would applaud the enforcing of the rules.

Dolphins cynically trading on their unearned positive public image. That has quite a lot of support on Twitter, along with poor, misunderstood Russell... About time.

I imagine that the BTO and RSPB are aware of migratory behaviour I’m sure they are just making sure that Pumita is, still don’t understand why gamekeepers are anti raptors Depends on which game we're talking about.

That was the deal when they arranged the use of the harbour. Which is why they won't be back. Christchurch's loss. Great - everyone's happy. Why did we do this thread then? When you say everyone, I think what you mean is a very small minority are happy, the majority are probably quite pissed off bu...

:lol: If your comment wasn't so dumb well I suppose it's more of a reflection on you seeing as your intellect is akin to that of a gnat. Both the BTO and RSPB have chronicled this. Especially with species that are extremely vulnerable. Like then hen harrier. The sort of scum who lay poisoned bait, ...

Birds of prey. I know you already knew that. They do seem to be above the law. As I said it's monstrous what they do and get away with, with impunity. Fingers crossed these sorts of horrific acts motivate the authorities to take action. Although given how the police are so overstretched I find that...

I explained in detail on the previous page why, under contract law, it is a part of his contract. It was a part of the offer made. It doesnt matter if its written into the actual signed document.

Its not a strike. Its a breach of contract by the Rebels. I certainly wouldnt be playing if I wasnt being paid what I was contractually owed.

Which he paid for in the first place using, you guessed it, his salary. Do keep up. I don't know what point you think you're making. Oh he's not owed salary he's owed reimbursement. Who cares? He's owed money. Which he will either get, or depending on how the bankruptcy goes, he will get part of, t...

jambanja

He's not though. That's the point. They owe him money. 7k might be paltry for you. I doubt that's necessarily the case for a guy who grew up in Fiji with 7 siblings, who's mum died when he was 7. I reckon 7k might feel like quite a lot if you grew up in those circumstances. A trouble maker because ...

jambanja

Yeah that's more or less how I'd interpret things too. Whether or not RA/the Rebels are technically or legally in the right, morally I side with Daugunu. They owe him money, he aint getting it, so why risk his body and continue to provide his on-field services? Because he's being paid to? He's argu...

jambanja

Splitting hairs. They owe him money (reimbursement, not pay, whatever). He's not receiving it. Therefore, why on earth would he put his body on the line and risk injury and concussion for a bottom of the table team in front of an empty stadium for a club that might not even exist next year who can'...

So landlords who bought 20 years ago and have no mortgage are not charging the full rents - i.e. their costs are lower and they are passing this on to tenants. Yeah, right. Supply and demand set the rental costs, not interest deductibility . That is probably correct and they were very short on supp...

I reckon Williamson needs to stop getting a free pass and start having some hard questions asked. He’s never stepped up when it matters against Australia and only has done a few times against India (WTC was good) and England. As soon as you get his wicket you can just sense the shoulders drop.

Weird line. Southee gave the impression post match interview that it was just any old loss. Didn’t look that gutted about the opportunity lost.

Smith has scored bulk runs against everyone besides Bangladesh. Williamson averages in the 30s against Australia, India and England. He isn’t elite when it matters. It’s chalk and cheese.

Williamson is a myth against the top teams. He’s just a nice version of Warner. Flat track bully.

I think it was racist. I just don't care. I don't think it matters. It's a nothing. It's not worth even pretending to be offended by it.

No, I specifically asked you that question to see because your earlier posting doesn't clarify that.

At least this isn’t as one-sided as what India are doing to England (at the moment at least). Both sets of fans feel equally as miserable though.
