Easy win today. We have them right where we want them. Play our 4 batter heavy team again with no Southee to bowl at the death. What could go wrong. Ps: bring back Smithy (as a commentator, not just to eat all Clogs' pies) :lol: We do look dangerously light minus Williamson, Mitchell, and Seifert i...

Without wanting to discourage healthy skepticism about any Government action, I suspect you lads have rather uncritically fallen for the PSA characterization which suggests that you haven’t managed large scale redundancy exercises that include voluntary options.

In a similar vein, probably a multitude of factors have brought it about so not getting into the whole 1080 argument etc, there are now Kiwi being heard around Upper Hutt in the Remutaka park. https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350178992/kiwi-are-now-calling-upper-hutt-home That excellent news.

Yes, Williamson has surpassed Crowe some time ago. Even Crowe said he will do that! I'll disagree with you there. By what metric are you measuring this, because if it’s just feels then that’s fine but by every measurement Williamson is the best we’ve had, by some way It's mainly just feels, I do no...

Hmmm, I'd put Hadlee first, still Crowe second and KW third at the moment. I get that for many Crowe might remain a sentimental second, but based on the numbers, Kane is way ahead. He's scored 3000 more runs, his average is 10 runs better, his strike rate is 6 points better, and he's scored almost ...

And have often pressed artillerymen, tankers, and sailors, into infantry assault roles with predictable results. Not to mention the constant misuse of VDV to plug defensive gaps. How much longer, in your opinion, can the bleeding last? On one side there is this, on the other there are news saying R...

I think we understate the difficulty of getting these mid range missiles to hit with such pin point accuracy and clearly the North Koreans are not there yet. The new PRISM atacms ugrade will hit a volkswagen beetle at about 650 km. Some variations are said to reach much further. Well they should gi...

Hope he’s ok

That'd be the definition of an infinite loop, this is how programmers would code it:

10 Clogs puts first pie in place
20 Clogs eats first pie
30 Goto 10

Oh yeah we called them coffee buns too, I think it depended on what bakery we bought then from.

Actually, I think we called them coffee buns. For no known reason. There was nothing remotely coffee flavored about them. Maybe because we were upper Porirua bad asses who spurned convention and rejected societies petty morals and bun naming practices. Oh yeah we called them coffee buns too, I thin...

Or is it specific to the events leading up to the 2017 election when Andrew Little fell on his sword in the face of appalling poll results and asked Jacinda to take over the leadership?
