Re: Heinz, it's fully possible that he's much improved from whenever he might have been in the frame for the All Blacks. but he is naked poach and an unnecessary one at that given Spencer.

I’m short to 1.20 on the dollar right now, I’ll switch to short EUR dollar before the end of the year. It will recover. There’s loads worse in the global economy right now. Where is worse?

Where are you getting this 88% from?

You’re aware that most of what is measured as GDP is from internal activity, because you know what GDP is.

Where’s the source for your 88%?

So you don't understand what GDP is then. Well it appears there’s a misunderstanding somewhere, why don’t you explain your point about 46% of “exports” and it’s relative relationship to GDP. You are the one who mentionex GDP when the previous post was about exports. 88% of UK GDP has nothing to do ...

I mean he definitely played 10 in NZ, that wasn't wrong. From memory it was largely due to injury to better players and a lack of suitable cover.
