Jeez of its true it will do serious damage to Carters reputation and New Zealand rugby culture in general. His team mate and former AB Joe Rokocoko also failed a drug test. Is drug culture a dark secret of the AB players? Hope not. The rugby world has been rocked by French media reports that Dan Ca...

....the fact that Melania is a money grabbing mail order whore who will sleep with any rich man just to get out of Slovenia an issue? I have to agree with zt, this part is :thumbdown: I understand that DT has more skin in the game than most of us and is genuinely worried about his country's future....

What a terrible post.

They have provisions for these fines. Not 14bn but it's not going to be that much

What was the initial doj estimate for jp Morgan? Anyone know?

It's not going to be 14bn so ignore that number. This is just being played out publically so you are hearing more information

That's zero hedge being as usual complete tools, the gross risk vs actual exposure for the bank has been explained above. ZH are saying DB can't afford the full€14bn & are €9n short of the amount. It's not going to be 14bn. Wasn't close to that for other banks that have gone thru it. This is all be...

Have had a few garmin running watches. Latest is fenix which is great. No real issues with picking up GPS for running.

The 2nd is the round he definitely won. I found re watching with sound down was helpful.

Is that why Brook was ahead on the scorecards?[/quote]

Was he? I only heard Hearn saying this and he would. On HBO they had ti 39/37 to GGG after 4[/quote]

Can someone please post a source for this suggestion that brook was ahead.

According to Brett Gosper, they are now looking to change the rules so they can intervene based purely on the Franks case. Well,IF that is true (and judging by some of the non-truths you've already posted on this thread,I wouldn't count on it) I'm sure we all look forward to a Rugby world where peo...

Can we all agree Teimana Harrison is a straight out poach in the clearest terms of the definition? He's no Stephen Bachop or Frank Bunce....... I wouldn't say Bachop was particularly bad. He was born and raised in New Zealand and learned all of his rugby here but he did at least have some Samoan he...

So clever indeed.

Naki, what time did you go for a run? You need to be a little bit sensible about these things ...

Macho Man Randy Savage slinked off late Saturday afternoon. I think he had done his dash early doors. Best was seeing some 50s chap arguing about the post 7pm 2 beer limit yesterday. Was probably a sign he had had enough. No particularly poor behavior on display which is probably a good sign in a pl...

Yeah the Air Conditioned stadium makes a huge difference, it's very mabient in temperature and light and they seem to have improved the playing surface dramatically since I was last there. The atmosphere was relaxed, easy to move around, make purcahses, socialise. The huge concourse that you can st...

An excellent couple of days. Crowd was good and much nicer sitting in there than being outside in the heat that Singapore had this weekend. I don't see a reason it wouldn't survive. The series organisers obviously want big name cities to be hosting the events so I imagine they will want to continue ...

Yeah and a 20 min wait when the stadium was 8000 full

A perfect example of not knowing your audience. That was pathetic

$10 for a plastic cup at the super rugby

Unlikely sadly.

Brewerkz best bet for a decent beer in the breaks

The update this morning was even more positive for ticket sales. It's a very good stadium. I hope they have all of the bars open.

Not sure any could be described as majestic. Just try to avoid T1. That is the one that regularly gets voted as worst in the world. But it's really not that bad. Just crowded. And slow. Beers are still cheap there.

Okay, that is in Salcedo Village. Definitely on one of the noisier roads in Makati. But easier enough to live somewhere a bit more peaceful. Get over there to check it out and have a look at some condos. Salcedo Village has some larger and older condos which offer good value. Fort Bonifacio (a few k...

My sister volunteered in a hospital there for a couple of months one Summer a few years back. Her abiding memory of the place was two German lads asking if they could join her and her friend at a table outside a bar so they wouldn't be mistaken for sex tourists which, as my sister confirmed to me, ...

I lived there previously. Great country. The city is not to everyones taste but if you are living in the right area then it offers a lot. The traffic is horrible and getting worse so you tend to live within a small area (albeit an area with what can be great accommodation and decent places to hang o...
