ancestry.co.uk Anyone doing this? I've been working the past month with a professional genealogist working down through the paternal lines of my 4 grandparents, and broadening if we see anyone / thing of interest as well. On my mother's side we (so far) have got back to someone born in 1715, but on...

Banning religious people from bringing up their kids in a religion is outrageous. There’s no justification. Only a tyrant or someone that supports authoritarianism would think it was acceptable. Agree, It can't be done, but I am sympathetic to the view point. However, I think we'd all support restr...

You don't believe in freedom of religion? I hate religion as much as the next sane man, but I think it's important that people remain free to say what they like, regardless of it offends someone, and believes what they like, regardless if its insane fantasy. That's what I hate about religion most! ...

This was on TV in NZ yesterday. I hope the interviewer is a lesbian as that will tick another minority hire box but apart from that it doesn't say much about the quality of NZ journalism.

Zak and Booji lack empathy and compassion. To them, all people are money-making robots without emotion. They also can't grasp the concept that Osaka's fight is not with the media or Tennis governance, such that she should just, "do a Bennett", and it'll all be fine. I really live rent free in your ...

Did you ever stop to think that the Aliens are deliberately making their drones slow and look like ours to avoid Detection? Huh? They are clearly masters of disguise.

Some may even post here.

Did seeing that make your own pants a bit tight?

the law penalizes a knock forward where the offender had no realistic chance of catching the ball what's wrong with that? it is negative/cynical. we want to see the laws promote creative attacking rugby edit: Law 11.4 - It is not an intentional knock-on if, in the act of trying to catch the ball, t...

Isn't this the third or 4th time we've had the bubble chat about crypto? Each time, it bottoms out 10% or so higher before it shot up.

Embarrassing performance.

I feel it would have been a different game if Christie hadn't scored before half time, that really took the wind out of the sails.

Not too much to worry about in Oz, except maybe the Goldie, but that’s because it’s swamped. Newport was always a bit of a closed shop, mainly due to the aforementioned Derek Hynd and co, acting like they were policing cloudbreak instead of a poxy beach break. There are a few locals only spots, but...

Some statements were made in last night's game against very good opposition: LSL - certainty (but I always thought he was) Wilson - confirmed. Vunivalu - first time that he looked like a complete rugby player. Real X-factor there. My issue with Vunivalu is that I haven’t really seen him kick. And p...

Fair enough. Could we at least agree that Justin Harrison is a proven racist and coke-snorting junkie?

I think this is the first time I've heard coke users referred to as junkies.
