Christchurch is well on the way back and looking a shitload better than last time I was here 2 1/2 years back.

I had to put my "suck eggs, All Blacks!" thread on ice, after the Kiwi fans were unusually humble after the game. A couple more pages of this ref whinging, and it'll be perfect conditions.

Excellent little book, along the lines of the one Dumbles suggested is Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher.

I’m assuming that the problem of unpaid players is almost exclusively confined to the Sydney teams.

Very bad news, RUPA should really be making a stink about this.

Nope. Iraqi forces plan to take Sinjar too. Apparently people are pissed with the way they've been treated under the new Kurdish government. Damn. Always thought the Kurds were the least bad guys. Basically, the only thing stopping a full blown civil war at the moment is ISIS? Barzani and the Iraqi...

Authors names please. Thanks

Sheri Laizer and Alina Marcus, respectively. Both are journalists if I recall correctly, so they are very readable.

My main dislike of him, and virtually every conservative everywhere, is that they have the relationship and importance of the economy and natural environment back to front. They'll end up destroying the natural environment for the sake of the economy and be wrong about the economic benefits of doin...

I'm convincing myself that he's determined to go out in a blaze of glory. The marriage equality vote looks set to pass resoundingly (apparently), and I suspect that his electorate will be a hard yes. He's just going to say more and more outlandish shit until the next election, where he'll get rolled...

The GCTC is in QLD, so it'll be 7pm?

The playing surface will be totally farked after that.

There’s no surface left as it is. Should never have let the RL teams play there, but needs must, I spose.

Because it was a local, it’s “not terrorism”.

Seems like the QRL has that stuff sorted. IMHO, Rugby will have to pillage halves to get anywhere quickly. Whilst they are at it, there must be a few big units running around that could play in the back row too - hard as fuk, country blokes. A bit like McMahaon but half a head taller. Recruit diffe...

We had a sliding doors moment post 2003 that sunk us. Should have listened to the AOC and set up a future fund with the proceeds of the RWC. It would have generated three million a year. Chook food. Isn't that the exact cost of last year's Western Force bailout? Pretty sure that's more than the cur...

I'm just happy no Sydney team is involved. Especially the Rooters or those dirty cnuts from the Shire. Or Manly . Da fuq? :? Nobody likes Manly, how is this a surprise to you? You've hurt my feelings now :( Sorry m8. :( For what it’s worth, I don’t think it’s personal, it’s more like a meme.

A few years ago, Kenneth Waltz argued that a nuclear Iran increased stability.

Actually Ali, he was morosely predicting the failure of the competition.

Excited to see how this works out.

On another note, AC, you’re the worst f**king troll in school holidays. Why don’t you take up fishing or something?

Should have kept silence on this one. But his comment is a reflection of the attitude within the Tongan community atm. Tongans are actually very tolerant towards gays and many are openly gay. The issue has to do with the church. A lot of Tongans are members of Australian churches and if they adopt ...
