The Chiefs looked very very good. That is all.

^ agreed. Plenty of people involved in interisland business that need that service besides the travellers. It doesn't take paying some consultant a gazzillion dollars to come to that conclusion.

I'm pleased that's all settled then. Canes remain top of the log and I'm free go do the gardening. Got a few weeds to deal with.

I'm well within my rights to claim every penny I am entitled too, that's why I went on the dole and claimed child support. It's perfectly within the rules. It's a distraction, get over it.

Daily bump for Flockwitt. Current TAB odds have the Canes at $1.30, Reds at $3.60 Probably a fair reflection. The weather looks like a fine day, after a couple of moist ones. Surprised the odds aren't a bit closer. That's not a bad Reds team. Very good loose forwards and plenty in the backs to caus...

It's going to be awful. 3rd election in a row in the US which is between two not good candidates Sure, but one is far past ‘not good’. There is a clear choice for all sane, non-fascists. I think that framing is what drives people away from the mainstream. I also think Trump is mostly an incompetent...

If most of the country is as set as the those in North Carolina, there's no hope, but hopefully the likes of De Niro speaking out will make a difference. https://twitter.com/CalltoActivism/status/1762630973319942495 Not to be a killjoy but De Niro's been highly vocal about his disdain for Trump fro...

Which foods are these? All of my staples have been going up in the past two years.

You need to let me know so I can adjust my diet.
Bread and water.

Well excuse me. That'll be dry bread and chlorinated water for you.

Two years of total indifference towards the war and all of a sudden Ukraine is a close ally Fair comment tbh. So many countries have tried to stay "out of it" or to ride the middle ground while at the same time the axis formed by Russia, Iran and North Korea is more emboldened than ever before in m...

Mitch is hardly up there in my list of beloved politicians, but he's not quite in the wouldn't-urinate-on-if-on-fire bracket (just, I consider him a product of the times rather than an architect, though he's certainly a facilitator). But I surprised myself when I realised I do have a passing flicker...

Loose forwards look different without a Karifi or Savea there. I know Lakai has played a bit of 7 but its big boots to fill. Yeah, I was thinking exactly the same thing. If the loosies turn up or not will be key. Also let's see how Brett keeps trucking along. If he can build on his combo with Cam t...

"Trump threatens Harry with Deportaton if He Gets Elected"

Trump'll say anything for a headline, and gets them. Whoever the powers may be, whatever higher power there might be, please, please spare us another 4 years of Trump trying to own the news cycle.

It’s for a good cause. Nobody likes seeing sunburnt faces on Sunday morning. Or sunburnt faeces for that matter. OK. I apologise.

Good article on the breakdown of voters after South Carolina. https://us.yahoo.com/news/key-exit-poll-numbers-explain-040413377.html It's pretty close to what might be supposed in several ways.

Kirifi and Flanders on the injured list, both look doubtful for Sunday. This is good news for Ogre, as it will need Delaney to drop to 6, opening up space for an actual lock. Then bring Shields in to 8, move Lakai to 7, Howden and Iose on the bench. Start Roigard, as losing Kirifi hurts our defence...

Hmm… fair enough. I’d have to concede my direct experience is limited and can easily imagine plenty of Orban supporter equivalents. Aren't you both saying the same thing?! Opposite I think.

Not true. The main pro-Russia parties in Germany (AFD, BSW) have their support bases in East Germany. I take your point but not the individuals I’ve met who are not rich / self interested remnants of the old hierarchy. East Germans' residual suspicion of the West and sympathy for Russia are visible...
