If I was advising a young person what to do now, I would say get a Monday to Friday normal hours job so that you can commit to friends and community groups (social sport, Pipe bands - whatever). Also live near your family - it makes a massive difference being close to people who actually give a shit...

I cannot imagine anything approaching the quality of The Dick Calvert Show being made today.

Why can't you just point out somethi...

Drongo kids should be shot. They grow into drongo adults.

I'm honestly surprised people even bothered to pick up this story. I doubt even TJ's manager believes it. Feels a bad mad-lib. TJ is in the news via Kirwin this week and the Roosters are down to their 6th string hooker through injuries and retirements. At least put some effort in! It's a bizarre st...

Jerome Manning

I don't mind that we were wrong. I hope we keep being wrong with the results we have obtained. Our aim was to buy time until treatments and vaccines could be established - I cannot see how that can be called wrong Yeah, reality is currently making our response look awesome regardless of whatever th...

Did you listen to his explanation? One of the main reasons for his earlier comments was that a shortage of masks would mean that if the general population all decided to wear them, there would not be sufficient for medical staff. A perfectly valid position to take IMHO. I am aware that that was the...

Jerome Manning

He also lied at the start that masks were ineffective so he also prone to being full of shit. He never said masks were ineffective. His early comments about people not wearing masks..... Damn it, I will let the man himself explain it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfbH3oko9SA https://www.youtube....

I think we've underestimated the role violence plays in keeping things civil. People, even kids, should get a whack if they are being dickheads. We've completely overplayed our ability to reason.

jesus, was the author ejaculating while writing that?

RONAN O’Gara’s relentlessly curious mind has, for the longest time, acted as a vaccine against the virus of a humdrum life. This is one of the greatest sentences ever written. :lol: I'm not even interested in the subject matter but I can't get past the first few sentences without laughing at the ce...

I don't think Jeff's baby eating comments were meant to be taken that literally.

Jerome Manning

That Baby Eating lock position is the hardest one to fill in rugby. Makes a massive difference to a team having someone of that size going about creaming rucks on their own and absolutely loving the biff. I think the days of the enforcer lock are long gone. If they ever existed. NZ won RWC's in 201...

An encouraging thing is that rather than having to deal with his friends’ ridicule, there has been none. Maybe the cultural pressure (certainly in Wales, and probably most of the Western world) is weakening. It definitely is and has been weakening since the advent of the smart phone. I'm 35 and to ...

I told my wife about this story and she thought it stupid and divisive. That's the issue. There are good ways to handle the whole injustice of sexual harassments and assault on women in society and there are ways to turn it into some sort of ridiculous joke that people switch off from. Let's have t...

A genuine, heart felt apology is a hard thing to do - there is a cost to it. It's an acknowledgement that you have fu^%ed up and that you are aiming to rectify your behaviour in the future.

Presumption of innocence for male sexual assault accusations soon to be goooooooone You keep up with the news bro, you know that attack the victim is far more prevalent in the discourse in Oz at the moment than the above ever happening here.

As abhorrent as the violence women have to put up with is, it's pretty unbelievable that it's suddenly acceptable to hold an entire group accountable for the actions of a small minority. Also that this concept is being heralded as a progressive and revolutionary idea. The vaguest knowledge of histo...

Wales or Ireland. France don't have the temperament to do three knockouts in a row.

There's far more reason to doubt the sanity, or at least the mental capacity, of people who don't believe there are massive conspiracies going on in the world today, given the huge amount of evidence that there are (I'm not talking about supernatural interventions here; I mean the ones in everday l...

Why does the referee need confirmation from the TMO as to whether it's a red? He saw it on the big screen.

It's diffusion of responsibility, they are both looking for a cop out if there is controversy.

New Zealand - All time world class 7.

Metronomic 10.

Blistering outside backs.

Tight five who can get parity. Skilled number 8.

The rest can be a village 3rd XV.

Win by 3 tries.

Drunk Pakehas (we're assuming, but that's a different point) doing a haka. This is sickening, it's disgusting. It's vile.

I was saying something a few months ago about this thread being like the George Pell thread. Where an ideologically unpopular but eminently rational opinion was shouted down by the pitch fork waving mob based on nothing more than PR mob mentality. I know as much about vaccines as I do about submari...
