:thumbup: What a great thread. Well done everyone. Classic PR Are you the Dolphin?? :lol: I can tell you that after half a lifetime in the surf, the chances of you hitting a dolphin are very small. They’re nippy fuckers That’s not to detract from the lovely spite on this thread though. Carry on! F ...

I am half way through Mark Duncan - Before the storm. Romans were f**king mental, but what a story so far. I have probably suggested this before, but reading about Simon Bolivars life makes you wonder if he outdid Alexander the Great. Before I read that book I thought Bolivar was some random South ...

Just finished this book on your recommend. I need a season two now. That brought me to the Franco-Prussian war. The French seem to have thrown the first stone for that. So 1-1 going into the decider. I hope you enjoyed even half as much as I did. Give me a heads-up if the Franco-Prussian war is a g...

So this might not be terribly relevant, let alone interesting…. I’m finally reading “The Guns of August” - cannot put it down. ....POS Kaiser Wilhelm....

Great start by the Sadists though - our ruck clearance is snail pace

Yes wondered why that wasn't play on myself esp as the Chiefs got the throw - which they then promptly lost lol

For the sake of the dolphins, I would strongly support moving the event to Queenstown. Of course, along with any related financial benefits, but mainly for the dolphins. What about the trout fishery? If it's anywhere near the spawning season I demand that racing be delayed, postponed or cancelled. ...

I haven't seen enough of Luxon to pick up on his style of interview discussion like some of you have. However, I do wonder how he would have fared during the Covid lockdown era in which he would have had to give daily reports in front of a live televised audience and answer those annoying 'what if'...

:lol: I know you're joking, but the bolded bit is actually true. Best squad depth in the country? Replacements slotting in without missing a beat? Multiple selection headaches of the good kind?

There are 15,000 Hector dolphins and the revenue is earned on a per capita basis. So if one was killed the Christchurch economy would only make $14,999,000. Now who's going to stump up with that lost revenue for the Garden City hey? :frown: Yup, and the small sub species of the Hector, (the Maui) t...

Specifics Wiggie. What points are drivel? The histrionics around 'chopping away at those tall poppies' and 'trying to actually to do something positive for the country' for a start, he's getting a bit shrill our Jammy.

Don't listen to it (used to), never called it.

John Campbell by some margin

I fear you may be correct ... except HDA, I'd put her on a par with him.

Don't be silly, if anyone used some common sense or came up with a workable solution how would we be able to chop away at those tall poppies, much better to sit back and complain about someone trying to actually do something positive for the country...f u cking rich bastards, how dare they!

You just don't seem to get it do you, they knew the rules and signed up to them so unless the harbourmaster or Dolphin watchers went outside the agreement then Coutts and Co are just a bunch of self entitled wankers. Another thing that no one has mentioned, that I've seen, is what if a catamaran di...

I get it, I really do, we won’t be hosting these sorts of events in the future because no one in their right mind will be offering them to us. We won’t be seeing the Americas Cup back in NZ for quite some time, no matter how many times we win it. I personally don’t mind the idea of living in splend...

A reasonable question. Have heard conflicting answers about this one. Claims that in all the Sail GP events there have been NO marine mammals hit so far. Another claim that the boats are near silent and that in practice there have been quite a few given the foil chop. The answer should be achievabl...

You find those short races with foiling rocketships flying around a course that is marked out on TV like a race track (rather than just the big blue if you were there watching live) boring? It's a thrill a minute in my book. If you want boring go back and watch the 1995 Americas Cup regatta where C...

About time. Dolphins and Pandas have been given an easy ride for too long.

Yeah this I’m not happy with. I’m finding my own politics a bit of a mix, conservative and pro business in some respects, a big chunk of others more socialist, and this is something I’m fully behind. That families are going hungry in NZ is simply not acceptable. I expect that is the case for many o...

Yeah, agreed. Curious why Ted finds it so hilarious. I didn't take you for a dour sour puss, Booji. But I'll tell you why all the same, it's because I have been following her storey.

I’d rate them higher than the Chiefs as the leading title contenders.
You're doing this with a view to break their hearts.

Beyond cruel.

As a long term Canes fan they don't need Towny for that!

Ask them if they want any rules changes done We’re putting the next memo together right now Could we see if they could introduce orange cardsds? What would be the benefit?

We've got Andy Ellis pencilled in next week, partnered at 10 by Dan Carter's 3 year old nephew.

Going to be an interesting game this from a neutral’s perspective. I see the Crusaders have stuck with Havili and Auma as their preferred midfield. Opportunity to deliver there.

Too many people on the pitch a lot now. The one that irks me most is when a try is scored and the subs rush in. A law should be made that of they are within 20m of a try being scored by their team it's automatically disallowed and a 5m penalty to the defending side Just don't allow them to 'warm up...
