NZ won the 2011 bid because the NZ bid had govt support and the Rt Hon. Helen Clark, Prime Minister o...

I caught a glimpse of this reality tv show called "The Valley" the other day. It took me about five minutes before I could fully comprehend that they were actually speaking English. The accent is ahem very unique.

Imagine ejaculating after shagging the hottest chick ever to walk the face of the earth and then she turns around and cuts your dick off in one swish of a samurai blade a few minutes later. That is how the Irish felt when this happened... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/08/27/article-2029533-0D7...

The moment David Latta wanted the ground to eat him up.

Encore!

IMO this is the moment that dragged rugby into the professional era. The moment when Ruper Murdoch sat up and said "crikey, this sport has potential"

Watching rugby on the embankment. This is Nelson in 1921. http://www.teara.govt.nz/files/p-25683-atl.jpg Nowadays, it is all about fancy pants stadiums with roofs and everyone has to have their own seat. Indeed! http://www.forsythbarr.co.nz/yk-files/c0f492c6c877fa1ea53dd6343c72f8b4/ireland_v_italy_0...

I can't quite work out which set of posters complained more - the French or the Irish. I think it was a tie between them. Jesus, imagine if it was the Irish that lost the final. *shudder* Anyway, obligatory happy photo: http://wa3.cdn.3news.co.nz/3news/AM/0-Articles/230496/600-woodcocktry.jpg?width=...

An enjoyable Olympics London. Well done to LOCOG and to the Britishers.

9th for Farquhar. Just over 80m. Everyone else in the top-8 were 81-85m. Bit of an upset there with the Trinidad & Tobago winning it. His face was priceless - "wtf? did I just throw that?"

Dittery old fool wouldn't let them keep the final baton. :lol: :lol: The Jamaicans had a bit of work to do there. The first two runners were average. It was only when Blake got the baton that they got into gold medal contention. Even then, Usain Bolt had to work hard for it and did he just. Great wi...

I hear she is a good whakatane girl. No surprise, Whakatane is good kayaking country. I've done a few paddles that way.

Btw, she is smoking hot

Auckman

Lovely girl

Well done to the 470 chicks.

Great work that BMX chick.

Disappointing loss for the Hockey chicks.

However, tonight hope springs eternal for the Kayaking chick.

The NZ chicks are leading a rear guard action to make a major dent in the NZ medal table. Well done all.

Any ball on foot action is prohibited. I learned that last night.

Has there been much chatter regarding the Algerian who sprinted the last 200m of the 1500m in under 25 seconds? I've never see anything quite like it. Blistering pace. I was more disappointed in Nick Willis' race. He appeared to be on a conveyor belt going backwards. For historical notes though, th...

Tough I can handle - but she is only seeing one side. And she has carded one of our girls for nothing.

Yeah I was wondering what that was all about.

Auckman

shame for our ladies, now they may go home without a medal at all :( They've got a chance for bronze in the 3rd/4th play-off. :nod: I didn't see the SF, but what a fantastic effort by the Black Sticks to be level with the world's top-ranked team after extra time! Dutch 1st goal and the NZ 2nd goal ...

Great effort though. Shootout looked totally foreign to them. Those dutch chicks, while hot as fudge, are whiney little bitches.

However, 2.30am is a good time of night for some hot chocolate and perhaps some toasties, as quiet prayers are said for a miracle to get the blacksticks to the gold medal match. It's a better time for a wank. Calm yourself Henry. Not until the team in black (or white) scores. Special dispensation i...

Well that was a bit disappointing. He shouldn't have pinned himself on the inside lane so early on. He needed to get on the outside by the 3rd lap. Blistering field though. They bloody started sprinting from 300m out on the final lap.

I think the backyard rules we all agreed on last week was that the first to three gold medals wins the olympics. It matters not if the canary yellows go onto five or six golds now. The flag on top of Mt Kosciusko is now safely stored in Mahe Drysdale's drinks cabinet.

Cheers for that, now we know she's been on the juice since 2010.
